Den

Based on Vuelve conmigo, Spain 1995

Drinking shots of tequila
By the rock down the lake there underneath the oak
Mrs. Fox sang Shakira
And the Toad gave a lapdance to the Squirrel’s son

Now I’m left on my own
The road home is so long

Den! Den!
Where is my earth hole?
Den! Den!
Where is the way to my home?
Den!
My badger burrow
I’m in the woods all alone

Is that tree making faces?
Feels like even the river mocks my state of mind
I can sniff someone’s traces
Could it be Mr Beaver, say, or are they mine?

I’m stumbling ‘cross the bank
A badger who is planked

Den! Den!
Where is my earth hole?
Den! Den!
Show me the way to my home!
Den!
My lovely burrow
I’m in the fields all alone

Den! (Den)
Den! (Den)
This looks like my hole
Den! (Den)
Den! (Den)
I think I found my sweet home (Den)
Den! (Den)
Crawling inside now
I’m not quite sure this is right…

Ooooohhhh….
(Den! Den!)
(This isn’t your hole)
(Den! Den!)
(You haven’t found your way home)
Den..Den..Den..Den!
(Den! Den!)
(Get out of this hole)
(You shouldn’t be here at all)
Ooooohh…Zzzzzzzzzz!

Den! (No!)
Den! (No!)
Really don’t care now
Den! (No!)
Den! (No!)
Going to bed, so goodnight (No!)
Den! (No!)

Why did I wake up
Inside the end of a cow?
