Catmandu Lyrics by Shriekback

Why Anything? Why This?

2018

Had a giraffe
With the dandy lion
Watched the leopard skin
With the ol’ skunk eye

Then squirrel away
All the missing lynx
Take a baseball bat
To the hippocrites

Tell that wasp to let me bee
I’m staggered deer hart you’re moosin’ me

High as a kite
Down at ‘eel
Hear the killer whale
And your fate is sealed

Swanning around on pigeon toes
Duck and cover hawk it up and crow

Don’t know why but I know it’s true
The dogman don’t but the cat man do

Dogman don’t but the cat man do
Dogman don’t but the cat man do
Dogman don’t but the cat man do
Dogman don’t but the cat man do
Dogman don’t but the cat man do
Dogman don’t but the cat man do
Dogman don’t but the cat man do
Dogman don’t but the cat man do

From throbbin’ red breast
To cold blue tit
Was it the horsin’ around
Or the pony club hit?

Bullshit comin’ down the chicken wire
Tern and swallow set your heron fire

Don’t know why but I know it’s true –
The dogman don’t but the cat man do

Dogman don’t but the cat man do
Dogman don’t but the cat man do
Dogman don’t but the cat man do
Dogman don’t but the cat man do
Dogman don’t but the cat man do
Dogman don’t but the cat man do
Dogman don’t but the cat man do
Dogman don’t but the cat man do
