Black...Black track...Black track steel grey train
|
Along the big vein across the big leaf
|
Cold...cold steel larva...
|
It's edges warm edges its way across the big leaf
|
Air...Aircraft engines menace
|
The black track steel train
|
Says hello to many brothers
|
Digging holes to save the others
|
On the big red leaf Big bug!
|
On the big red leaf Big bug!
|
Big! Bug!
|
Black leather badge shouldered hoot tooting duty boys
|
In the right place at the right time
|
Saved the nibbler stayed in the line
|
Its bristles with arms and legs didn't sleep at night
|
Derailed all failed x2
|
And rattled the bug on it's vein x2
|
Around the world five times x5
|
A victim of crimes x4
|
And the white cabbages all took a dive
|
And the big red leaf was still alive
|
And after two years
|
The big bug curled
|
And rested after eating it's world
|
And out popped x7
|
A fly
|
