Mabel Mercer
On the Amazon
There's a danger zone, not a stranger zoneThan the little plot I walk on that I call my homeFull of eerie sights, weird and skeery sightsEv'ry vicious animal that creeps and crawls and bites!!On the Amazon, the prophylactics prowl On the Amazon, the hypodermics howl On the Amazon, you'll hear a scarab scowl and sting zodiacs on the wingAll the stalactites and vicious vertebraeHunt the stalagmites while laryngitis slayAll that parasites that come from Paraguay in the springHmm, hmm hmmmSnarling equinox among the rocks will seize youAnd the fahrenheit comes out at night to freeze youWild duodenum are lurking in the treesAnd the jungle swarms with green apostrophesOh, the Amazon is calling meOn the Amazon, the pax vobiscum biteOn the Amazon, the epiglottis fightOn the Amazon, the hemispheres at night all slink where the agnostics drinkAll the hippodromes that lie concealed in mudLetras de cancionesHunt the metronomes that live in swamp and floodThen the kodachromes run out and drink their blood, poor ginksWhile velocipedes among the weeds will scare youAnd the menopause with hungry jaws ensnares youFrenzied adenoids infest the hills and slopesEveryone avoids the deadly stethoscopesOh, the Amazon is callingYes, the Amazon is callingOh, the Amazon is calling me-ee!!
