[Main Riff]
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
G D
Steal away before the dawn, and
Em B
Bring us back good news
[Main Riff]
But if you've tread in primal soup
Please wipe it from your shoes
[Main Riff] x4
[Main Riff]
Just then a porthole pirate
Scourged the evening with his cry
And sanctuary bugs deprived
The monkey of its thigh
G D
A dust arose and clogged my nose
Em B
Before I could blink twice
[Main Riff]
Despite the scut that bubbled up
I gave some last advice
D A
The flesh from Satan's dogs will make
C G
the rudiments of gruel
[Main Riff]
Deduct the carrots from your pay
You worthless swampy fool
[Main Riff] x4
[Main Riff]
Exploding then through fields and fen
And swimming in the mire
The septic maiden's gargoyle tooth
Demented me with fire
G D
I drifted where the current chose
Em B
Afloat upon my back
[Main Riff]
And if perchance a newt slimed by
I'd stuff it in my sack
[Main Riff]
Soon I felt a bubble form,
Somewhere below my skin
But with handy spine of hedgehog
I removed the force within
G D
Suzie then removed her mask
Em B
And caused a mighty stir
[Main Riff]
The angry mob responded
Taking turns at grabbing her
D A
The foggy cavern's musty grime
C G
Appeared within my palm
[Main Riff]
I snatched Rick's fork to scrape it off
With deadly icy calm
[Main Riff] x4
[Main Riff]
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
G D
In summing up, the moral seems
Em B
A little bit obscure...
E A D/F# A
Give the director a serpent deflector
