Lyrics

The Varmints
Well, The Varmints, they were a rowdy band
Guitar drums and bass
Playin’ every riverbank sandbar
With fur down in their face
Ya see Skunk played the bass
Otter drummed and drove the boat
Beaver, well he was the lead singer
But he couldn’t hold a note
They traveled down that river
Quit their jobs and took the plunge
They started out playin’ swamp rock
But ended up playin’ grunge
Flanneled shirts - Flanneled shirts!
Ripped jeans - Ripped jeans!
Playin’ loud - Playin’ loud!
Livin’ dreams - Livin’ dreams!
Rattlesnakes and gators
Would kill to see The Varmints
They were loved by teenage porcupines
And they scared the granny marmots
But then one day another band
Waltzed right onto the scene
They called themselves the River Rats
They were slick and they were mean
They wore black leather vests
And could play most anything
But why the fans really flocked
Was ‘cause the River Rats could sing
Leather vests - Leather vests!
Nose rings - Nose rings!
They played louder - they played louder!
And they could sing, they could sing
“Well dog-gun I think the varmints are done,”
Said Skunk closing her case
“Well I’ll be derned, I think we’re burned,”
Said Otter - “We’ve been replaced”
But Beaver he wasn’t worried at all
“Who cares if they sing well,
I just invented Fur Metal
Where all ya gotta do is yell
Mohawks! - Mohawks!
Self-esteem! - Self-esteem?
Yellin’ loud - Yellin’ loud!
Livin dreams - Livin dreams!
Oh Boy, the critics went wild, and the critters? Well they went even wilder. Yeah the Varmints they got bigger than Moose Springsteen! They only had to put out one album of yellin’ and screamin’ and kickin’ stuff over - before they retired. And do you know who that young Beaver was? (was it you?)... Yeah, it was me - that’s who. And now that our furs fallin out, we just sit around and yell - at eachother!
Wool Sweaters - Wool sweaters!
Patched jeans - Patched jeans!
Yellin' loud - Yellin' loud!
Can't hear a thing! - Can't whaat?!?!
Can't hear a thing! - Can't hear whaat?!?!
Can't hear a thing!
