VULTURE VOMIT (Studio Version)
From Roger Day’s CD/DVD Marsh Mud Madness
Words & Music © 2013 Roger Day
1st Verse
If you’re walking through the hammock on Sapelo
Underneath the crooked limbs of a tall live oak
You better keep you eyes open for a big black bird
He’s got a nasty habit that’s a little absurd
Watch out before it’s too late
‘Cause if you get too close he regurgitates
CHORUS
I’M TALKING VULTURE VOMIT – ON MY HEAD
VULTURE VOMIT – ON MY HEAD
VULTURE VOMIT – ON MY HEAD
VULTURE VOMIT – ON MY HEAD
I SHOULDA BROUGHT MY UMBRELLA INSTEAD
I’VE GOT VULTURE VOMIT ON MY HEAD
2nd Verse
As gross as that sounds to you and me
The projectile vomit of semi-digested meat
It’s the turkey vulture’s only real means of defense
If you think of it that way it starts to make sense
(But) make no mistake let there be no doubt
You don’t want to be around when he lets breakfast out
CHORUS
Bridge
They’re so disgusting I’ve heard people insist
We would all be better off if vultures did not exist
Now don’t you listen that’s a bunch of malarkus
Vultures are nature’s way of recycling a carcass
3rd Verse
They’re otherwise gentle and they’re rarely rude
It’s just that they like to eat already dead food
Now let’s be honest is that so different than us?
We just like our food cooked instead of hit by a bus
Still you’ve gotta be careful when you walk in the woods
Cause if you startle one bad you’re gonna get it good
CHORUS

I can’t wait to learn the things - the marsh mud teaches me

We’re not only are we gonna smell mud - we’re gonna spell mud too...

Mosquito Burrito
From Roger Day’s CD/DVD Marsh Mud Madness
Original Version on Roger Day’s CD Rock ‘n’ Roll Rodeo
Words & Music © 1997 Roger Day
1st Verse
You can talk about your hot dogs (YUCK!)
And your peanut butter too (YUCK!)
Pepperoni pizza (YUCK!)
Just makes my stomach blue (YUCK!)
Ice cream is so disgusting (YUCK!)
And french fries make me sick (YUCK!)
So if you want to fix my favorite dish
Just one thing does the trick...
CHORUS
Oh, yes I want a mosquito - a mosquito burrito
I like to smash ‘em with my hands-o
Spread ‘em on a tortill-o
Roll ‘em up and take a bite-o
Rub my stomach while I swallow
If you’re really my amigo
I want mosquito burritos
2nd Verse
You can serve me a big hamburger (YUCK!)
With ketchup on the top (YUCK!)
You can try to make me eat it (YUCK!)
But I’ll only holler STOP!
‘Cause there’s really only one dish
And it’s a culinary feast
You might never guess the taste that I like best
Comes from a little beast...
CHORUS x 2
TAG
Either plain or con queso
I want mosquito burritos
They taste better with tabasco
I want mosquito burritos

LOOKING FOR A SNACK (CHOMP CHOMP)

RAIDING MY REFRIGERATOR
HE’S GETTING REALLY FAT (CHOMP CHOMP)
YOU CAN CHECK ME LATER
BUT I’M PRETTY SURE THAT’S NOT HIS HABITAT (CHOMP CHOMP)
1st Verse
There are two kind of alligators living in the world today
One lives in China and one in the USA
The freshwater marsh that’s the place where they usually stay
2nd Verse
It’s called their habitat – that’s the place that they like best
It’s got all their favorite foods and a cozy place to build their nest
But that does not explain why my kitchen is such a mess
CHORUS
3rd Verse
Well, there’s nothing in my fridge for an alligator to munch
No fish no turtles no crabs for his jaws to crunch
In fact there’s not a single thing that an alligator eats for lunch

BLACKBEARD
From Roger Day’s CD/DVD Marsh Mud Madness
Words & Music © 2013 Roger Day
Blackbeard was a pirate
Tall in his pirate boots
No one’s ever found his treasure
No one’s ever found his loot
Blackbeard was a pirate
Tall in his pirate boots
No one’s ever found his treasure
No one’s ever found his loot
Might be buried on an island
Might be buried on the beach
Might be buried in the marsh
Might be right beneath our feet
So grab your shovel - here we go!
CHORUS
GOTTA DIG IT UP, DIG IT UP - YEAH
DIG IT UP, DIG IT UP - HUH!
DIG IT UP, DIG IT UP - YEAH
DIG IT UP, DIG IT UP - HUH!
Blackbeard was a pirate
Loved his silver loved his gold
Hid it where no one could find it
Down deep in a hole
Might be buried on a sand dune
Or maybe on a tidal creek
Might be buried on the playground
Might be found by you or me
CHORUS
Blackbeard was a pirate
Loved his silver loved gold
No one’s ever found his treasure
Deep down in a hole
Blackbeard was a pirate
Tall in his pirate boots
No one’s ever found his treasure
No one’s ever found his loot

EVERYBODY LOVES MARSH MUD
Words & Music © 2013 Roger Day
Everybody loves marsh mud
In between their toes
Everybody loves marsh mud
Filling up their nose
You put one toe in and you start sinking down
Next thing you know your leg is underground
Everybody loves marsh mud
In between their toes...
