The Leopards
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We're the leopards (x3)
The leader of the pack lives down in the local drain,
We're the leopards
King Kong built a car inside his brain,
We're the leopards
You tell me who's the sexiest,
But why it's Gardenia & the Mighty Slug
We're the leopards
Old Doug Henry lost an ear when he crossed my path
We're the leopards
Called himself Jesus, well that's what he said to me
We're the leopards
I have never seen a freak look as weird as you
Except for Gardenia and the Mighty Slug
We're the leopards
Cycle Michael grotesque school desk in my brain
We're the leopards
Mincing Quincy dropping bop drops down the drain
We're the leopards
I'll just tell you boy we're mean and we're tough
Just like Gardenia and the Mighty Slug
We're the leopards
I know that we know that he know it's wrong
We're the leopards
To spend your life inside a song
Greasy Gert tried it and she licked it too
Just like Gardenia and the Mighty Slug
We're the leopards
Uncle Bimbo drunk up the sea of Galilee
And like a fool he promised it all to me
But I'm young and built of steel
Just like Gardenia and the Mighty Slug
Just like Gardenia and the Mighty Slug
Just like Gardenia and the Mighty Slug
We're the leopards
