On the Amazon

There's a danger zone
Not a stranger zone
Than the little plot I walk on
That I call my home
Full of eerie sights
Weird and skeery sights
Every vicious animal that
Creeps and crawls and bites
On the Amazon, the prophylactics prowl
On the Amazon, the hypodermics howl
On the Amazon, you'll hear a scarab scowl
And sting zodiacs on the wing
All the stalactites and vicious vertebrae
Hunt the stalagmites while laryngitis slay
All that parasites that come from
Paraguay in the spring
Hmmm, hmmm, hmmmm
Snarling equinox among the rocks will seize you
And the Fahrenheit comes out at night to freeze you
Wild duodenum are lurking in the trees
And the jungle swarms with green apostrophes
Oh, the Amazon is calling me
On the Amazon, the pax vobiscum bite
On the Amazon, the epiglottis fight
On the Amazon, the hemispheres at night
All slink where the agnostics drink
All the hippodromes that lie concealed in mud
Hunt the metronomes that live in swamp and flood
Then the Kodachrome run out
And drink their blood, poor ginks
While velocipedes among the weeds will scare you
And the menopause with hungry eyes ensnares you
Frenzied adenoids infest the hills and slopes
Everyone avoids the deadly stethoscopes
Oh the Amazon is calling
Yes, the Amazon is calling
Oh the Amazon is calling me-ee!
