|
There's a ship arriving too late
|
To save a drowning witch
|
She was swimmin' along
|
Tryin' to keep a date
|
With a Merchant Marine
|
Who told her he was really rich
|
But it doesn't matter no more...
|
She's on the ocean floor
|
'N the water's all green down there
|
'N it's not very clean down there
|
'N water snakes
|
'N rusty wrecks
|
Is all that she can see
|
As the light goes dim
|
And she's tryin' to swim
|
Will she make it?
|
(Boy, we sure hope so...)
|
|
Not even a witch oughta be caught
|
On the bottom of America's spew-infested
|
Ho-ho-ho, hey-hey...
|
She could get radiation all over her
|
She could mutate insanely... (Aie-ee-aie)
|
She could mutate insanely... (Earth wall)
|
Then you know
|
She could go on the freeway and grow up to be 15 feet tall
|
And very very scary-lookin'
|
And then...
|
Cars could crash all over the place
|
As a result of people with Hawaiian shirts on...
|
Lookin' up to hear her go "Ha ha ha..."
|
Sardines in her eyebrows...
|
Lobsters up 'n down her pudenda
|
All of them HORRIBLY LARGE FROM GRADUATION...
|
And smelling very bad
|
And DANGEROUS!
|
|
Maybe a submarine could save her,
|
That's right! Yes, that's true!
|
And bring her back just like a Mud-shark...
|
Tell 'em what they win, Bob!
|
Well, therefore ladies:
|
A full week's supply of Gartenion's Onion rings,
|
Bronco's new Bondage-In-A-Bottle!
|
It won't crack, it won't stake, it won't beat, it won't budge,
|
It won't bite the old fate...
|
And of course a brand new, absolutely brand new,
|
New, new, and of course, but also a new car!
