Hey little Moo Moo
Light as a rainbow,
Heavy as an asteroid
Crashed in the bathtub
Yeah, sitting in the bathtub
Hair full of her fingers
Hair full of her fingers
Yeah, sitting in the bathtub
Says, “I’m scared and lonely”
Sweet little Moo Moo says,
“I’m scared and lonely”
Here come the wolfman
Hey little Moo Moo
Saying, “hey little Moo Moo”
Saying, “hey little Moo Moo”
Sitting in the bathtub
My heathen child
She’s a heathen child
Yeah, she’s a heathen child
Yeah, she’s a real wild child
She got a little powder
She got a little gun
She got a little poison
Got a little gun
Sitting in the bathtub
Sucking her thumb
Says, “I don't care about Buddha
[Don’t] care about Krishna
Don't care about Allah
Don't care about anything”
Just sitting in the bathtub,
Sucking her thumb…
Cuz, she’s a heathen child
Yeah, she’s a heathen child
Now, she’s a heathen child
Yeah, she’s a real wild child
[yeah… yeah, come on baby]
Oh, poor little Moo Moo
Yeah, paddled and rowed
She’s got a little powder
Got a little gun
Sitting in the bathtub
Having some fun
She was raised by beasts
and grabbed by vultures
Oh, here come the wolfman
The abominable snowman
Got a little poison
Got a little gun
Sitting in her bathtub
Waiting for the wolfman to come
You think your great big husband will protect you, you are wrong
You think your little wife will protect you, you are wrong
You think your children will protect you, you are wrong
You think your government will protect you, you are wrong
She don't care about Allah
She is the Allah
Don’t care about Buddha
She is the Buddha
Coz, she's a heathen child
Yeah, she's a heathen child
She’s a heathen child
She’s a heathen child
[Yeah, someone left the bathtub running
someone left the bathtub running]
