Buzz Fledderjohn Lyrics

Lyric discussion by morbid morag

No comments??? This is a wonderful song. This little kid has been told not to go in the neighbour's yard & now he's letting his imagination run riot. Or is he? You don't know for sure. "I seen a python swallowing a Doberman whole Piranhas swimming in a mixing bowl" Great stuff! And underneath the words is this creepy music with dogs howling. A favourite of mine.

@morbid morag Going by the last verse, I think he might be an adult looking back on what he's seen, and reflecting that the one thing he hasn't seen is the Fledderjohn place from his childhood. It seems small from his perspective of a grown man who has traveled the world, but at the time it was a big mystery to him. That's my interpretation anyway.
