Animated Poems
Armadillo Guitar
Think I'll go kill something
Maybe I'll make a musical instrument
out of it's carcass
Armadillo guitars
In Cadillac cars
Out on highway sixteen
Dead bugs on my windshield
Trunk full of roadkill
Tortoise shell picks
can speed up your licks
While Mabel plays her gut bucket
straight from the sticks
Broke a string on my classical thing
with nary a cat insight
So I switched to electric
Stepped on my rat
Hoping to attract
some sort of wayward cat
When the music shop
called me on the phone
Asked me if my nuts
were made of bone
Just then an elephant
smashed in my door
Whacked me with his trunk
Pinned me to the floor
He said to me with hate in his eye
"Don't you tickle the ivories
or I'll snuff out your life"
So if you see me playin'
In some greasy old bar
It's never piano
It's always guitar
Armadillo guitar
Spoken: I could probably take him
In a fair fight
But I don't fight fair
Sneak up behind the motherfucker whack him in the head with a stick
Just like a cute little baby seal
You gotta look out for gorillas too
They can be nasty
See them hangin' out in Victoria Park
Gorillas and crows
Ravens
I was playin' a tune on my old baboon
Thinkin' about some kinda mushroom
It's gettin' warmer
There's armadillos
Global warming
Armadillo
Armadillo guitars
In Cadillac cars
Out on highway sixteen
Dead bugs on my windshield
Trunk full of roadkill
First you kill it
Then you cook it
You know your gonna eat it
May as well play it
Armadillo guitar
I know that elephant's around here somewhere
Come on step on that old hummingbird
Armadillo guitar
