I am the slowworm

I am the slowworm
there are no snakes in Ireland isn’t like 100 percent the truth when you consider the slowworm


I am the slowworm, goo goo g'joob

Legless lizard in a garden cube

Waiting for the sun to shine, shine, shine

On my shimmering scales so fine

Chorus:

Slowworm, showworm, how do you do?

Blinking eyelids, earthworms chew

Magic portals in the compost heap

Where reality and dreams do leap

Verse 1:

Slither through the looking glass

Telegraph poles made of brass

Yellow matter custard, dripping from the sky

Feeding snails that learn to fly

(Repeat Chorus)

Verse 2:

Expert gardener of the night

Turning left to go right

Semolina pilchard climbing up the Eiffel Tower

Slowworm king with psychic power

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:

I'm crying, waiting, hoping for the sun

Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna

Was you, was me, was the slowworm be

Sitting in an English garden, waiting for tea

Final Chorus:

Slowworm, showworm, how do you do?

Blinking eyelids, earthworms chew

Magic portals in the compost heap

Where reality and dreams do sleep

Outro:

Goo goo g'joob, goo goo g'joob

I am the slowworm, goo goo g'joob!
