  • Waitll ydig it on the map - airegin
  • Spelled backwards
  • Reallyre closin up the gap - airegin
  • Gone facwards
  • Back long time ago they saw a ghost
  • Ghost made a boast
  • Soon that ghost was host
  • (repeat first 8 bars)
  • Those losing their hue
  • They goofed n got the wrong view
  • First, things reverse, last is first!
  • Y dig it!
  • Whatta y think othatn get a load a
  • What I tell y
  • What this place is no one knows it
  • Theres no traces of the kind oplace it was
  • Before it got discovered by the kind o
  • Cat that knows the earth belongs thim
  • Back when the world was young
  • An man was a living god
  • An he walked this earthly sod
  • This was sod that God would trod on
  • Till one day a stranger landed
  • With a line ojive
  • Laid it on the natives till he had em thinkin
  • Maybe that they should really take five
  • An he quickly stole the natives soul
  • So he could control it
  • An he took care of that missionary biz
  • Till the lan was his
  • Never heard a story draggy as that
  • Tell th truth I aint never heard another
  • That exasperated more
  • What an exasperating narrative tplay
  • Upon the sensitive and kindly soul that I am
  • way back when I was crawlin in mcrib
  • I was doin all kinds othinkin
  • Awready I had figured out the cut of mjib
  • The kind osoul that never liked ttell r live a fib
  • A body who was steadily reachin up
  • A min always thinkin on high-minded things
  • Whee! I was always one tbe free
  • Aint never had a keeper why dont people
  • Learn tgit along tgether stead o
  • Meddlin aroun n fussin with the fella nearest to em
  • Me, Im the old fashioned kind
  • I was never good at follow-the-leader
  • Real real real real real real real
  • Thats me, as real as a yankee can be
  • Thats me
  • Millions o years ago
  • There was a paleolithic age on earth
  • An the whole world was young
  • And full othe vim of constant rebirth
  • Brontosauruses n dinosaurs n pterodactyls
  • Everwhere abounding that was the case
  • n plus the millions o mammoths here n there
  • An in addition there were lots omen everywhere
  • Who had no hi-tech and no intellect nary a speck
  • But in that spot
  • Where it was so lush, where it was so hot
  • Where many animal was roamin
  • An nature was kind, life was thrivin
  • There livin was actual an the feelin was natural
  • Im tellin the truth
  • What-a-benign livin some livin
  • Alls forgiven come on home
  • Blew a truly unruly storm
  • That wrecked a boat in a climate warm
  • n full oashy-colored cats all lookin
  • White like ghosts
  • n when the natives checked em out
  • It blew em away tfind that they resembled spirits
  • Long ago there was a legend
  • bout a spirit who would someday come
  • A look at these cats
  • n y could see they probly had some
  • So they welcomed em with peace and love
  • And everything theres plenty of
  • n soon the tables had turned to rigormortis
  • Thats when the castaway had his say
  • Like a dog had his day they told the
  • People that they were spirits actual
  • Ysee how perfectly a fable cn be
  • Incorporated into what a catll think is factual
  • What was an accident turns int something
  • So unbelievably heaven-sent
  • Everybody falls for it
  • Right on down t the militants
  • n marchin n the martyrs n the murder of lumumba
  • Waitll ydig it on the map - airegin
  • Spelled backwards
  • Reallyre closin up the gap - airegin
  • Gone facwards
  • Back long time ago they saw a ghost
  • Ghost made a boast
  • Soon that ghost was host
  • Waitll ydig it on the map - airegin
  • Spelled backwards
  • Reallyre closin up the gap - airegin
  • Gone facwards
  • Those losing their hue
  • They goofed n got the wrong view
  • First, things reverse, last is first!
  • Y dig it!
