V6

[Intro – Immediate heavy distorted guitar riff, punchy rock drums, thick reggae bass, aggressive offbeat chops, no slow buildup] [Male voice – Shouted, annoyed] WHO LET DAT GOAT INNA DI YARD?! [Goat – Loud distorted bleat] BAAAAAH! [Verse 1 – Hard-driving reggae-rock, gritty rhythmic vocals, crunchy guitar accents] Mi set up di speakers behind di barn, Big Friday night, whole village alarm. Guitar plugged in, amplifier hot, Ready fi shake up di parking lot. Then something move beside di stage, Four little hooves and a hungry face. Mi turn around, nearly lose mi mind— Dat goat got mi cable hanging out behind! [Pre-Chorus – Stop-start guitar riff, pounding snare] Mi shout, "HEY! DAT'S NOT FOOD!" Him chew one pedal like him feeling good. Mi reach fi di amp, but it's already gone, Now him belly humming like a power station! [Chorus – Explosive distorted guitars, driving drums, heavy bass, shouted melodic hook] DI GOAT ATE MI AMPLIFIER! Chew di knobs an' swallow di wire! Turn it up! Let di whole town know! We got a four-legged rock 'n' roll show! DI GOAT ATE MI AMPLIFIER! Now him belly got a sound like thunder! Big bad riff from a little farm beast, Somebody stop dat musical feast! [Instrumental – Heavy guitar riff, aggressive bass groove, short wah guitar solo, no vocals] [Verse 2 – Tight reggae-punk rhythm, distorted guitar stabs, animated vocal delivery] Old Farmer Brown come running from di gate, Seh, "Dat goat been trouble since nineteen-eight!" Him eat three boots and a television set, But a Marshall-sized dinner? Him never try yet! Di goat start shaking, di ground start hum, Him burp one riff like a stadium drum. Di drummer look up, drop both him sticks, "Dat animal playing better riffs than Rick!" [Goat – Deep distorted metallic bleat] BWAAAAAARRRRGH! [Male voice] What di hell was DAT?! [Fast Toast/Rap – Aggressive double-time dancehall flow, tight drums, sharp guitar skanks] Clip-clop, big shock, goat on di loose, Chew through a cable like a breakfast juice! Stomp left, jump right, knock down di fence, Sound so heavy it don't make sense! Crunch riff, hoof kick, neighbors complain, Goat got distortion running through him brain! No pick, no strings, no guitar required, Four-legged menace with a built-in amplifier! [Chorus – Loud reggae-rock chorus, gang vocals, massive guitars] DI GOAT ATE MI AMPLIFIER! Chew di knobs an' swallow di wire! Turn it up! Let di whole town know! We got a four-legged rock 'n' roll show! DI GOAT ATE MI AMPLIFIER! Now him belly got a sound like thunder! Big bad riff from a little farm beast, Somebody stop dat musical feast! [Breakdown – Heavy palm-muted guitar riff, syncopated dub bass, half-time drums, abrupt stops] [Male voice – Spoken over bass] Alright... Everybody quiet. Let di goat play. [Goat – Rhythmic distorted bleats] BAH! BAH! BWAAAAH! [Instrumental – Goat bleats transformed into distorted guitar riffs, heavy drums, wah guitar responses, driving reggae-rock groove] [Bridge – Gritty rhythmic vocals, rising guitar intensity] Now di whole town dancing in di mud, Farmer Brown got rhythm in him blood. Di goat stand proud on a mountain of hay, Playing louder than di band all day. Mi seh, "Fine, yuh can join di show. But leave mi equipment alone, yuh know!" [Goat – Short aggressive bleat] BAAAH! [Final Chorus – Maximum energy, powerful distorted guitars, shouted gang vocals] DI GOAT ATE MI AMPLIFIER! Chew di knobs an' swallow di wire! Turn it up! Let di whole town know! We got a four-legged rock 'n' roll show! DI GOAT ATE MI AMPLIFIER! Now di village got a new headliner! Raise di horns, let di whole farm know— ALL HAIL DI GOAT WITH DI HEAVY ROCK SHOW! [Outro – Driving guitar riff, final drum hits, bass stops] [Male voice – Exhausted] Alright, dat was actually pretty good... [Brief pause] Where's mi drum kit? [Goat – Suspicious chewing, muffled bleat] Mmm... baaaaah. [Final explosive guitar chord]
