Lyrics
"Art"
VERSE I
He's four foot one, eats goats for fun,
loves to bake all day in the tropical sun.
OK, no goats were had, only some mice and rats.
He has the whole block scared, thinkin' he's so bad.
CHORUS
His name is Art, like you hang on the wall.
I hang him on my shoulders, like a squirmy shawl.
His name is Art. He likes to watch TV.
I lay him on my lap so that he can see.
VERSE II
He loves to sneak away, so he can laugh and play.
They say he ate two children in a single day.
He may be short and lean, but he is never mean.
He's the smallest man-eater that I've ever seen!
CHORUS
His name is Art, never comes when you call.
When you think about it, he's just too darn small,
to be so smart, to look for children to eat.
Can't even run very fast, 'cause he has no feet!
BRIDGE
Who'd have guessed, that a snake could make such a story.
My neighbors would laugh, if they only knew.
How can a reptile be on trial, if none of their tales were even true?
CHORUS
His name is Art. I'm gonna' bring him to school.
'cause, when ya' think about it, he is totally cool.
And he is smart - er than the average beast.
He's got the bullies on my block all afraid of me!
CHORUS
His name is Art, like you hang on the wall.
I hang him on my shoulders, like a squirmy shawl.
His name is Art, and he's a friend to me.
Someday, we'll run away to live in tropical trees...
