Slug Opera

Nobody likes us ‘cause we’re slugs No, they’re not fond of us like they are of other bugs Nobody likes us ‘cause we’re slugs No, they’re not fond of us like they are of other bugs But it’s not our fault That we’re slimy and brown It’s not our fault That we’re stuck on the ground It’s not our fault But nobody wants to play With the kind of bug that Mother Nature made this way But it’s not our fault There’s slime wherever we go It’s not our fault We’re embarrassed too, y’know! It’s not our fault But nobody seems to see That we’re the kind of bug that’s got personality Ah, but when the moon is clear And the night is right We grow little feet And we dance all night We got a little slug singer She’s got a little slug song We got a little slug band We play all night long Well, our skins turn blue And we lose our slime And some of us even sparkle Some of the time But at the first sight of sun They disappear And we’re back to being slimy and brown Way down here And nobody likes us ‘cause we’re slugs No, they’re not fond of us like they are of other bugs Nobody likes us ‘cause we’re slugs No, they’re not fond of us like they are of other bugs --- Slug Opera - Connie Kaldor
