Lyrics

The big fight's gonna start, people gather round
Two fighters came from a southern island
They are in a cage but they don't move
They are only sleeping
It's a sunny day
Big fight
Cobra versus mongoose
Big fight, we can't wait forever
Big fight
Cobra versus mongoose
Big fight, we can't wait anymore

A tricky guy is selling snake in alcohol
It cures all sickness and all injury
Stiffness in the shoulders and lumbago
When you get a burn, when you get a cut

Big fight
Cobra versus mongoose
Big fight, we can't wait forever
Big fight
Cobra versus mongoose
Big fight, we can't wait anymore

Nobody is really sure if it's a cure-all
But some people buy th snake in alcohol
The attraction still hasn't begun
Cobra and mongoose wanna go back home
