about

/the dung beetle is a beetle belonging to the subfamily of scarabaeinae/ they roll their eggs inside a ball of animal feces/ on which the larva feeds/ the mongoose is a small carnivoran that mostly feed on insects, earthworms, lizards, birds and rodents/ however, they also eat eggs and carrion/ hence; the chicken coop/ the shore is the shore on which you tread/ having crossed the Mediteranean going in a northerly direction/ the siren son can be heard/ as can the African common reed frog/ hyperolius viridiflavus/

lyrics

way over yonder/in the chicken coop/
the dung beetles/and the mongoose/
the things i`ve seen/
i never could believe/

way over yonder/in the sugar cane/
a black man lies sleeping/in the pouring rain/
the things i`ve seen/
I never could believe/

the things i`ve seen/
i never could believe/

and the sails of this ship/
are the souls of the sick/
and the storm did rip/
and the cargo did slip/
into the undertow/
into the darkness below/

we`ll swim with the dolphins/
´til we reach/
the shore/
you`ll be lost
on yonder shore/
you´ll we lost
on yonder shore/
lost on yonder shore/
/lost/
/on yonder shore/
