Lyrics Hellfish - Leslie Odom, Jr.

Hellfish

You know the little baby turtles that like to play peekaboo?
Well, you can kiss them goodbye if a hell-fish comes through
They inflict ecosystem trauma
'Cause they’re hangry like piranhas
And they gobble up the fauna like a fishy Jeffrey Dahmer
A snakehead would make a lake dead
And all the little lives in liquid are jeopardized by wicked hellfish
If they invaded
It’s the only reason I’d miss out on spicy cheese bread
If a hellfish finds a mate
It’ll lay fifty thousand eggs a day
And walk from lake to lake
On his fins and spread fast like the plague
It breathes air like a toad and it lurks in the muck
If the hellfish is really there then the pond might be f-- screwed
A snakehead would make a lake dead
And all the little lives in liquid are jeopardized by wicked hellfish
If they invaded
It’s the only reason I’d miss out on spicy cheese bread
We hire experts in ponds with ponds PhDs
Who pH balance the ponds and check on pond species
Repair pond ecology with fancy pond degrees
Making sure the pond turtles are feeling super fertile
But there’d be environmental catastrophe
If someone put a hellfish in the meer
I don’t think the park ponds would persevere
No, no, no!
A snakehead would make a lake dead
What about the turtles?
(And all the little lives in liquid are jeopardized by wicked hellfish)
What about the ducks?
The hellfish is the only reason —
(If they invaded)
I hate to miss out
(It's the only reason I’d miss out)
On spicy cheese bread
