Mushroom Men Songtext

(Mushroom men)

You may see horses try to fly
A dog with periwinkle eyes
But peppered earth with chunks of sky
Now there′s a sight worth seein'

When sod gets moist with dewy flow
And the fungus spores they start to show
And if you′re sharp and in the dough
You may spy a different bein'

(Mu-mu-mu-mu-mu-mu-mu, mush-mush-mush)
(Mush-mush-mu-mu-mu-mu-mu-mu, mushroom men)

I lean my head on a window pane
And stare out cat-eyed through the rain
And though the dim's an awful strain
I think I′ve seen a mushroom man
I think I′ve seen a mushroom man


(Mush-mush-mush-mush-mush, mushroom)
(Mush-mush-mush-mush-mush)
(Mush-mush-mush-mush-mush, mushroom men)
(Mu-mu-mu-mu, mushroom men)

Boletes, Boletes, I'm looking for Boletes
Boletes, Boletes, I′m looking for Boletes
Boletes, Boletes, I'm looking for Boletes
Don′t touch the Amanitas
Look out for Amanitas

(Mu-mu-mu-mu, mushroom men)

(Mu-mu-mu-mu-mu-mu-mu, mush-mush-mush)
(Mush-mush-mu-mu-mu-mu-mu-mu, mushroom men)
(Mu-mu-mu, mushroom men)
(Mu-mu-mu-mu-mu-mu-mu, mush-mush-mush)
(Mu-mu-mu, mushroom men)

Be it seven sons or seven trout
They came to see with throbbing doubt
The fungi as they pranced about

M-m-m-m-mushroom men
(Mu-mu-mu-mu-mu-mu-mu, mu-mu-mu)
(Mu-mu-mu-mu-mu-mu-mu, mush-mush-mush)
(Mu-mu-mu-mu-mu-mu-mu, mush-mush-mush, mushroom men)


Now when mares eat oats and does eat oats
And Jackalopes eat bacon
It's time to get your glasses checked
′Cause surely you're mistaken

M-m-m-m-mushroom men!
