V6-MINI

[Intro: Instrumental] Floatin' in a sweet dream swamp zone Enjoyin' enjoyin' nothing at all Crafty swamp thing slithered up Humming muddy sonnets, casting a pall He smirked with too many teeth and way too little sense Temptingly tasty in a slimy kind o' way gaggingly stinky, shockingly dense I heard Mama say [Chorus] Stay clear of those mother-lickers, honey They no good, they breathe funny None o' them are worth your time Those are dangerous waters for a girl in her prime [Instrumental Interlude] Now I'm not one to listen to my drippy mum Gave him a catfish smile and a mirthless grin Traced a finger 'cross his scaly arm Made his smile widen and his eyes thin Now I'm not one to play with my prey So I slid away slinky showin' a little skin That was all that was left Of my last completed sin And I said [Chorus] I Stay clear of you mother-lickers, brother You no good, you breathe funny None o' you are worth my time Those are dangerous waters for a girl in my prime [Instrumental Interlude] Looked back as I sashayed away Caught him watching my tailfin sway Went off to think about life's lost chances Of a muscled chest and watery dances [Bridge] Maybe tomorrow I'll float this way again Watch him wriggle a little on my hook 'n line Learning how control is built Before I return to my mildew and slime [Chorus] I Stay clear of you mother-lickers, brother You no good, you breathe funny None o' you are worth my time Those are dangerous waters for such a thing in her prime Just a slippery daughter of a swamp hag livin' Where no man-thing wanders All men unforgiven [Outro: Instrumental] [End]
