*A Cautionary Tale in Eight Movements*
I. Lizard Lurking
Serpentine munster is waiting for you
No, you can’t see him but he can see you
While you’re a-sleeping, he’ll come a-creeping
Chomp off your nose and shit on your toes…
Oh…but there’s so much more!
II. Impending Doom
Don’t stray from the camp, Johnny
You know the rumor well
Don’t stray far from Mommy and Daddy
Or you’ll be damned to lizard hell!
He’ll find you alone, clamp down on your bones
Drink your blood from a ghoulish fountain
He’s the lizard of death, the reptilian one
He's the LIZARD FROM GHOST MOUNTAIN!
III. Admonitions (A Poem)
Evil is waiting for you, boy
Don't get lost, you know it brings him joy
If you go a-fishin', you'lll soon be a-wishin'
Your cadavers weren't in that beastie's jaws
Doin' an awful mean squishin'!
IV: The Trek (Gone Fishin’)
I’m just a stupid white kid from town
Hopin’ this lizard don’t run me down
So when I find me a hole where I can cast my pole
I’m gonna catch me a fish and mow down…YEAH
And now I'm eating my fish!
V: The Cave
a. Storm Coming
The clouds have come
I'll need to find a place to stay dry
I see nothing, but wait…
Something’s caught my eye!
A cave!
A cave!
A cave!
A cave…
b. Nightfall
Darkness…has fallen
It seems as though I’m fucked
I’m lost in the forest in the mountains of doom
Where he lives…and stalks...
The terrified victims of GHOST MOUNTAIN!
c. Race Against Time
Well time’s running out
I’ve got to choose
It’s the cave or pneumonia
What’ve I got to lose?
So it’s off to the cave
Not a minute to waste
In a minute, I’ll be dry…
And safe?!?
VI: 9:15 - The Lizard Hour
BONES! BONES!! HUMAN BONES!!!
Well what did you expect?
A lizard’s gotta eat, right? Right!
There’s no need to stare
Just pull up a chair
Don’t be afraid of my teeth
Why, in ten seconds flat
(And you think about that)
I’ll roll us up a great big SPLEEF!
VII: Stoned Again
And so the friendship began
Harmony through drugs
Boy and Lizard smoked more and more dope
While the Lizard ate bugs
Ooh-aah, Flower Lizard
Ooh-aah, stoned again!
VIII: Lizard Munchies
Ooh, I shoulda known better
Than to do these drugs with a guest
Happens every time cuz the dope I get’s the very best
Cos' you see as you’s lookin’ at me
My joints is laced with PCP
For me, that’s good.
For you, that’s bad.
For now I feel my hunger grow
I got’s to eat ya, don’t ya know?
It’s lizard instinct, right down to my pud
I’m afraid I gots to taste your blood…
JOHNNY’S DEAD…!
