V5.5

[Intro: Heavy, distorted guitar riff, slow and bluesy, punctuated by the sound of a deep, guttural croak] (Verse 1) Well, I got a pad down in the cypress knee Where the waterโ€™s black and the air is thick as tea I donโ€™t need no fancy clothes or a golden crown Iโ€™m the toughest, meanest hopper in this whole damn town They look at my skin and they start to sneer But they donโ€™t know the power thatโ€™s hiding here Iโ€™m a neon-green shadow in the midnight mist With a tongue like a whip and a lethal twist! (Chorus) Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit, yeah, thatโ€™s my call Iโ€™m the king of the muck, Iโ€™m the lord of it all They say it ainโ€™t easy being green, thatโ€™s a lie Iโ€™m a swamp-born legend, watch the dragonflies fly Yeah, ribbit, ribbit, keep your distance, son โ€˜Cause this green machine has only just begun! (Verse 2) Iโ€™ve seen the gators blink and the herons stall When I let out a croak that shakes the canyon wall I eat the beetles, I eat the flies I see the fear reflected in the water-moccasinโ€™s eyes You want a piece of the action? You want a piece of the soul? Better watch your step near my muddy hole Iโ€™m cold-blooded, baby, but my heart is fire Iโ€™m the swamp-rock king, climbing higher and higher! [Instrumental Solo: Gritty, slide-guitar heavy, echoing the swampy atmosphere of the deep South] (Chorus) Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit, yeah, thatโ€™s my call Iโ€™m the king of the muck, Iโ€™m the lord of it all They say it ainโ€™t easy being green, thatโ€™s a lie Iโ€™m a swamp-born legend, watch the dragonflies fly Yeah, ribbit, ribbit, keep your distance, son โ€˜Cause this green machine has only just begun! [Epic Outro: Drums pounding like a heartbeat, guitar feedback fading into the sound of crickets and a final, thunderous, bass-heavy croak]
