Lyrics

This morning I jumped on my horse and went out for a ride.
 Some wild outlaws chased me and they shot me in the side.
 So I crawled into a wildcat's cave to find a place to hide,
 But some pirates found me a sleepin' there and soon they had me tied
 'Til a lady zombie cut me loose and begged to be my bride.
 So I said I'd come back Wednesday, but I must admit I lied,
 'Cause I run away into the swamp but I forgot my guide.
 And I stepped into some quicksand, and no matter how I tried,
 I couldn't get out 'till I met a crocodile named Clyde
 Who took me to some cannibals who planned to have me fried.
 They built a fire under me and I swear I almost cried
 'Til an eagle come and swooped me up and through the air we flied,
 But he dropped me in a boiling lake a thousand miles wide.
 And you know what happened then?
 I died.
