Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your time is near, the mission's clear
It's later than we think
Before you slip into the night
You'll want something to drink
Steal away before the dawn
And bring us back good news
But if you've tread in primal soup
Please wipe it from your shoes
[Verse 2]
Just then a porthole pirate scourged
The evening with his cry
And sanctuary bugs deprived
A monkey of its thigh
A dust arose and clogged my nose
Before I could blink twice
Despite the scut that bubbled up
I gave some last advice
[Verse 3]
The flesh from Satan's dogs will make
The rudiments of gruel
Deduct the carrots from your pay
You worthless swampy fool
[Verse 4]
Exploding then through fields and fen
And swimming in the mire
The septic maiden's gargoyle tooth
Demented me with fire
I drifted where the current chose
Afloat upon my back
And if perchance a newt slimed by
I'd stuff it in my sack
[Verse 5]
Soon I felt a bubble form
Somewhere below my skin
But with the handy spine of hedgehog
I removed the force within
Susie then removed her mask
And caused a mighty stir
The angry crowd responding
Taking turns at grabbing her
[Verse 6]
The foggy cavern's musty grime
Appeared within my palm
I snatched Rick's fork to scrape it off
With deadly icy calm
[Verse 7]
The crowd meanwhile had taken Sue
And used her like a rag
To mop the slime from where the slug
Had slithered with the bag
In summing up, the moral seems
A little bit obscure
Give the director a serpent deflector
A mud rat detector, a ribbon reflector
A cushion convector, a picture of nectar
A viral dissector, a hormone collector
[Verse 8]
Give the director a serpent deflector
A mud rat detector, a ribbon reflector
A cushion convector, a picture of nectar
A viral dissector, a
[Verse 9]
Give the director a serpent deflector
A mud rat detector, a ribbon reflector
A cushion convector, a picture of nectar
A viral dissector, a
[Verse 10]
Give the director a serpent deflector
A mud rat detector, a ribbon reflector
A cushion convector, a picture of nectar
A viral dissector, a hormone collector
Whatever you do, take care of your shoes
