Lyrics Squirrel Rights - Rhett and Link

I'm Doug and I'm Darrell
And we are squirrels
We live in your backyard in a big oak tree
That's our world

We saw you and your family
Filming us with your Flip cam
Shaking our little tails
Eating crackers from your hand

We know we're irresistible
Seemingly even kissable
Extremely home videoable
And effortlessly uploadable

But what makes you think that gives you the right
To make us internet memes overnight?

We didn't sign a release
You didn't get our consent
To put our private lives on the public Internet
We didn't sign a release

You seem surprised to find we're upset
You wonder how in the world can squirrels talk
Much less have the internet

Well, you have e-mail, we have treemail
You have smartphones, we have pinecones
You have social networks, we have elaborate squeaks and chirps

He just said you have no right to publish or distribute audio or video recordings of us, including, but not limited to, our names, recorded mating calls, photographs or likenesses, nest location, tail length, or any material based upon or derived therefrom
Oh, yes, and any forest and perpetuity

If you don't cease and desist, a suit will be filed
Especially if we end up in the next squirrels gone wild

We didn't sign a release
You didn't get our consent
To put our private lives on the public Internet
We didn't sign a release
You violated our trust
We don't want the world to see the secret place where we hide our nuts
We didn't sign a release
