about
Shayne is a sheep. But he says "MOO!" Silly, right? Have you ever felt a little different? Have you ever not wanted to something that everyone else wanted you to do or expected you to do? Shayne feels this way and decides to be his authentic self, and everyone benefits.
lyrics
Once upon a time lived Shayne the Sheep, in the Land of Nod
And he didn’t like jumping to help people sleep, in the Land of Nod
All the other sheep would get in line to “baa” and jump overhead,
But when Shayne got to the front of the line, he did something else instead:
Shayne the Sheep said, “moo.” Why? That’s what he wanted to do!
He said, “You’ve got to be yourself because everyone else taken!”
Shayne the Sheep said, “moo.” That’s what he wanted to do!
He said, “You’ve got to be yourself because everyone else taken!”
All the other sheep just looked at Shayne in the Land of Nod,
And they asked him why he wasn’t into counting in the Land of Nod.
“Well, everyone expects me to be a sheep, to jump and ‘baa’ overhead,
But I’ve never felt like a sheep. I want to be a cow instead.”
So, Shayne the Sheep said, “moo.” Why? That’s what he wanted to do!
He said, “You’ve got to be yourself because everyone else taken!”
Shayne the Sheep said, “moo.” That’s what he wanted to do!
He said, “You’ve got to be yourself because everyone else taken!”
Then the other sheep looked sadly at Shayne in the Land of Nod.
“Does that mean you don’t like us just the way we are, plain old sheep in the Land of Nod?”
And Shayne said:
“I love you more than I have words for, and I am happy that you’re happy helping people fall asleep.
But when I sleep, I grow dreams of my own, and those dreams are mine alone to chase and keep.”
“And so, I say, “moo.” Why? That’s what I want to do!
I say, ‘You’ve got to be yourself because everyone else taken!’
And so, I say, “moo.” Why? That’s what I want to do!
I say, ‘You’ve got to be yourself because everyone else taken!’”
And so, the little sheep, they sat, and they thought, in the Land of Nod,
And they thought about their dreams and what they wanted most, in the Land of Nod
One sheep said, “I’m a pirate!” Another, “I’m a fish!” A third said, “I’m a plane.”
The sheep used imagination, and it brought such a wonderful change.
And the sheep said, “moo, baa, splish, splash,” and a “zoom!”
They said, “You’ve got to be yourself, because everyone else is taken!”
And the sheep said, “moo, baa, splish, splash,” and a “zoom!”
They said, “You’ve got to be yourself, because everyone else is taken!”
