The Red Krayola - The Sloths lyrics



One day a husband home with his wife
Said I've had a shock, the fright of my life
You must admit child, beautiful
Something awful's in the front room

What is it I asked, is it a mouse?
Or the cats have a bird and strewn guts all through the house?

No says he it's nothing like that
Nothing at all to do with the cat

The room's full of sloths,
Leaden, hypnotic
Their lethargy so has me affected horrific
What says I your mental learning
You've got a situation that confused me
No says he I saw them all
Hanging like balls all over the halls

There were three-toed sloths hanging upside down
Their eyes were ringed with darkness just like clowns
Some of them emitted a plaintive wail
All of them stuck to the curtain rail

So said I you should be stuffed full of drugs
With a straightjacket on to replace my hugs
There are no sloths living in this country nor anywhere else like EEC
Three-toed sloths, Bradypus tridacytlus,
Live in Guyana they're quite far from this
It hangs from the branches where you can't dislodge it
It's camouflaged with algae you can't even see it

The Two-toed sloths, Choleopus didactylus
Come from Brazil in the tropics far off
It has no feelings not of anger or of fear
Its congenital lethargy prevents one ever coming here

So my husband says we'll see in a bit
You watch it to know in which and then tugs for his hat
I rushed to the phone
Psychiatrist come to my house bring needles, tranquilizers, Largactil
You better bring the police
My husband's quite ill

Sedatives come and a shrink arrives
It's the sort of thing in which they strive
I tell them my husband's mind's out of tune
Then tell the story 'bout the sloths in the front room
