Yo look at me Im bigger than the white tail deer, And I wont shy away because I got less fear We might look similar but one things clear: Hes a white tail, and IM A MULE DEER.

Some people get confused because we have a white bum, But youll know what the deal is when this song is done If you look real close our tails have a black tip, But theirs are lined in white and when theyre scared, Up it flips!
