Lyrics
In Animal Crossing
One stanza songs
While I do love me cukes
they sure curl me flukes
But now please! Zucchinis
give me the spooks...
...Zucchini spooks
I'll sing me a fair rhyme
to pass away time
Watch me words, like seabirds
through the sky climb
Upward they climb...
I feel such low down shame
me lovely dear dame...
I'm a rat- I laughed at
yer mum's weird name
What a weird name...
Me soul, onward it sails
me belly, it ails
I'm so glum, 'cause me tum
feels full of snails
So full of snails...
Me heart feels savage pangs
from love's wicked fangs
I think oft of the soft
song that she sang
That song she sang...
A lone pebble slip-slides
beneath the cold tides.
It's movement is a hint
where love's truth hides.
There love's truth hides...
Hey there me old mum
Yer boy, he feels glum.
Without my lullaby,
Sleep just won't come.
It just won't come
Two stanza songs
Ye can't go wrong
With my Cucumber song
Cucumber, Cucumber
So green and long
They're so good cooked or raw
Or with some coleslaw
Go get me two or three
That I can gnaw
Here, take good note:
What moves old Kapp'n's boat
Be an iced, extra-nice
Cucumber Float
Fetch one for me young lad;
You won't be left sad!
Don't be slow or you'll know
I might get mad!
Hey now, me boys
With yer trinkets and toys
Yar, I know Nintendo
Gives me yer joys
But I ask this of ye:
Can games sing like me
Mario can't croon, bro
Don't you agree?
Ye think yer bad
Some kind o' wreslin' lad
Ye've got guts but yer nuts
Don't make me mad
With my turtle-tough shell
I'll ring yer bell
Black yer eye, make ye cry
And say farewell
Oh, listen ye to
mine salty shanty
about the sweet lady
who once loved me
She looked fair and fine with
her eyes upon mine
Oh! Until she got ill:
seasick from brine
A wrestlin' dog
A mean ol' tusslin' frog
An unsound, big muscle-bound
Big boxin' hog
They're just silly old clowns
I'll take them all down
For I be the best sea
Turtle around
Life on the sea suits
A pirate like me.
A footpad like you, lad,
Ain't so lucky.
But on briny sea swells,
Me heart, it beats well.
Through sea air, I'll float
Where me soul compels
In New Leaf
