Hellfish - Leslie Odom, Jr.

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
