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 |
