This was one of the first all-toy songs, recorded in the living room.
lyrics
They say there's a woman [I saw you]
Standing in the swamps
She's got eyes of a tiger [and a muscle man]
And a tail of a newt [to lay beside her]
They're drinking apple cider [another watering hole]
She don't use a stove
You know she cooks with fire [won't be taken for]
Breathing fire
Breathing liquor [another watering hole]
Stir the pot
Roll the dough
Form the hole
Through the core [and she waits for another]
Put the can in the side [victim by herself]
Stop the car
Decorate the house
With the eyes of a newt [lady bug]
And the skin [lies beside]
Of an alligator [lady bug]
And the toad
And the raven [as we sigh]
Swimmin' home, simmin' hole [receiving what's left]
Swimmin' fast, swimmin' home
Say your words [da da da]
Say your payers [na na na]
Say your last goodbye [nothing left]
Goodbye [to go]
Goodbye [wrong]
