slice up the lizard at midnight
put it up under your bed
give me some room to maneuver
make gestures in your head
pull off the honeybee's wings
glue them to the edge of town
mash up the crickets and the lemongrass
bring another bottle down
tingle tangle mingle mangle
the wolverine is ticklish
so keep your fingers on the badger's tail
there's a card game going in the back room
you could win yourself a bucket of snails
put the caterpillar back on the abacus
take the monkey off the astrolabe
here's a bone from the tombs
of the cappuchin monks
throw it in the river babe
tingle tangle mingle mangle
i'll chew another leaf with the bullfrog
while you think of something clever to say
the raccoon's got a good mantra
but the mosquito's gonna carry the day
your butterfly might look pretty
but you know you can't have no fun with it
and there's a red ant stuck in the hourglass
so let's sever the snake and be done with it
tingle tangle mingle mangle
