Lyrics
Intro: Fast Banjo Plucking, 3D Panning, Rhythmic Foot Stomps] [Whistling: Vertical Modulation, rising and falling
[Verse 1: Storytelling Baritone, High Energy] I’ve sung of the tiger, the falcon, the beast I’ve sung of the elephant, west to the east But Nate made a request, a request quite absurd "There are no squirrels in this song, haven't you heard?" [Group Shout:] "LIAR!" Well, there were squirrels with cashews and bare furry butts ((Bare butts)) (((bare butts))) Running 'round the meadow just looking for nuts!
Chorus: Heavy Stomps, Claps, Group Chorus] And the bog down in the valley-o! Where the glands are swollen and the malaise is low! Pressure in the ears, and a throat mildly sore "But we’re dancing 'til we can’t dance no more!" [Stomp! Clap! Stomp! Clap!
[Verse 2: Faster, More Urgent] Now next to the squirrel was a Scrub Jay friend With a fever-dream logic that’ll never quite end And down in the muck was a Salamander sick "So slimy" "so thick" With pressure in his ears and his glands feeling tight He’s a walking malaise in the middle of the night!
[Verse 3: The "Acid" Breakdown - 20% Latency] [Style: Synth Harmonica Lead, Vertical Pitch Sweeps] Now the salamander’s sacs, they were filled up with pus "A fact quite unreliable, don't look at us!" When the pustules they burst with an acid-rich spray It burnt all the fur off the squirrels that day! That’s why their butts are bare and their cashews are gone ((Gone)) (((gone))) In the weirdest damn meadow that you’ve ever been on!
[Bridge: Chaotic Banjo Solo, Whistling, Crowd Shouts] [Style: Whistling panned 360 degrees, 3D Depth] (Is that a fact?) ((Probably a fact!)) (((Pressure behind the ears!)))
Outro: Total Raucous Energy, All Instruments] Every road curves this shape, every form ends in crab Wait, wrong song, that’s a different lab! Return to the bog! Return to the slime! [Group Shout:] "WE'RE ALL SICK!" [Final Foot Stomp: Heavy Reverb
