Lyrics

Arf arf arf!

I whipped the teeth out
I had to fight back and hit 'em, like..., you know...
Hit 'em and hit 'em and hit 'em and kick 'em and kick 'em
Did he get on top of you?
No, I fought so back, hard back and..
Hard back?
White!
White?
Yeah, white ugliness
Did it have teeth?
And it was two, it was two boogiemen along the side of 'em
I really bunked into 'em
I had to, I had to kick
I had to fight to four or five boogiemen in front of me..
Well, maybe he can turn into..
One of 'em could maybe be, uh killed
Yes, but I've heard these ponies are really vicious
I know, but, I know they're vicious, but i..
These claws!
He doesn't have people doing it
They get on top of you and they just tear you apart
I know..
But I hope they don't get 'em

Ponies...if, if, if..
Was it white? 're you sure?...it wasn't white
I mean uh...black, uh..
But I was too scared to notice their physical..
...Gold or something..
...I was too, I was too scared to no-no-no-notice their physical
Ah, appearance, 'cause they...they...they were attackin' me!
They were?
They were attackin' me
What were they doin' to you?
They were, they were, they were come and surrounding me
And attackin' me and I had to fight back and fight
Fight and fight back and pick up sticks
Pick up sticks?
Yes, pick up sticks
I used to play that game, pick up sticks
Me too, did you ever play that game?
Yeah! that's funny! ha ha ha!

Now anyway, yes, pony, or president, or popes, I don't know
Something out there is dangerous
Could be a cigar or somethin'
A cigar!
A cigar? no, you're insane, come on!
No no
I remember when I was ah, well, I don't remember
Those were the days!
That was before the days it will forces
Yes, before the days ah eh, ponies or boogiemen or somethin'
What's out there?
But then it was a...what was it then?
Newspapers
Noooo..
Sure!
Positive
You had to have 'em
No no no..
You've got one right in your nose right now!
Hah hah hah!

Zzzzzzz, scratchin' 'em..
Well, I'm gettin' tired..
We should, we should go to sleep..
I just hope he comes back..
I think I'll pray for him..
I think I'll join you..
You do yours and I'll do mine..
Ok

Ha ha ha!

We hope for the best

Ha ha ha!

(Alfred motorhead)

Now I lay me down to sleep
Amen!
