lyrics

Lyrics:
The squirrels of Carduchia are a little known species of mammal that dwell only in the valleys and high plains of the Carduchian Mountains
Like squirrels everywhere, they love to invade the attics and wall spaces of the local houses where they can resolve family differences, hold track meets, have band practises and generally live life to the max.
There is, however, one distinguishing feature of the Carduchian squirrel - they are the size and weight of elephants. In fact, they are elephants. Due to a poorly thought out fostering program they have grown up thinking they are squirrels.
Be that as it may. the Carduchian squirrel can often be found sitting by a blazing campfire, playing the piano and singing the traditional folk songs.

hark to my words, O ye rodents, and prepare
I’ve seen the future, and heard the song of despair
you can fly from the owl, run from the cat
you know where they’ve been and you know where they’re at
but hark to my words, O ye rodents, and prepare

beware the jabberwok my son
the jaws that bite, the claws that catch
avoid the jubjub bird and shun
the frumious bandersnatch

hark to my words, O ye rodents, and prepare
the future approaches, feel the frost in the air
so gather your treasures, hide them away,
beware of the season, the cold endless days
hark to my words, O ye rodents, and prepare

hark to my words, O ye rodents, and prepare
hark to my words, O ye rodents, and beware
