Lyrics
Once upon a time the pigs drank wine and the monkeys chewed tobacco and they felt just fine the birds and the bees made love in the trees and then one day the sun did not shine.
And the earth started quakin' and the trees started shakin' and grandpa said you best quit your bellyachin' turned on the TV and Dave Brown said "Wamp ba da loo da da lamp bamp boom!"
There is a happy home far away where all the pigeons fly three times a day you should see my mama run when she sees those pigeons come.
Cuz the skies turn purple when the pigeons start to circle there ain't no mistakin' the mess that they'll be makin' and the next thing you know you hear my mama scream "Wamp ba da loo da da lamp bamp boom!"
Higher up the mountain down come a sewer rat racing towards the fountain chased by an alley cat you know when they get to the bottom of the hill that the drink will flow and the blood will spill.
Well the fir started flyin' and the wasn't no denyin' the cat he was winnin' you could tell by how he's grinnin' and the next thing you know you hear the sewer rat scream "Wamp ba da loo da do lamp bamp boom!"
