    SYNOPSIS
    As Bullwinkle tries to direct everyone's attention to his pal Rocky, Boris complains that there are too many squirrels in the world. The gang then performs a tribute to squirrels everywhere about how people driving cars should brake for squirrels. The segment ends with Rocky delivering a plug for Klondike Fried Chicken, a signature Bullwinkle's menu item, while Bullwinkle wonders how it is heated if it is indeed “matchless.”

    LYRICS
    Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, it's show time! And here's our star, direct from a split-week at the Cucamonga kumquat carnival, Bullwinkle!

    Bullwinkle: Heidi friends and neighbors! We'd like to do a little tribute now to a real good guy and a swell buddy, Rocky the flying squirrel!

    Audience: Yay!

    Boris: Boo!

    Natasha: Boris! Why you're booing?

    Boris: Squirrels! Who needs squirrels? We already gotted too many squirrels!

    Bullwinkle: Now just a dog gone minute! Do you realize if it wasn't for squirrels, the country would be full of nuts?

    Boris: You know Natasha, maybe we don't have enough squirrels!

    Bullwinkle: Right! And that's why we're singing this song!

    Company:
    Have you ever noticed when you are driving the large amount of things that you can see?
    Like little squirrels that run across the road and up a tree?
    Almost ending up as a highway casualty...
    So next time when you're driving be sure to be aware!
    Or else you might just give some poor squirrel quite a scare...

    Chorus:
    We brake for squirrels! It seems the nice thing to do!
    After all they seem no threat to our society,
    So let's all get together and show some courtesy!
    We brake for squirrels! 'Cause some day a squirrel may have to brake for me!

    Have you ever noticed when you are driving little squirrels that jump out on the road?
    You swerve your car so you don't hit him, then you look to see...
    That he's alright and he'll live to be real old!
    So next time when you're driving make sure you look ahead!
    You might just see (miss) a squirrel and save his life instead!

    Chorus
    Oh yeah!
    'Cause some day a squirrel may have to brake for me!

    (Musical Interlude)

    Chorus
    Oh yeah!
    'Cause some day a squirrel may have to brake for me!

    Oh yeah!
    'Cause some day a squirrel may have to brake for me!

    We brake for squirrels!

    Rocky: Thanks a bunch Bullwinkle! We'll be back in just a bit! Remember our Klondike Fried Chicken is matchless!

    Bullwinkle: ...I wonder how they get it hot!
