Lyrics
The Body Rot
------------------------
Green grows the gangrene
the leper blossoms yellow
look at that you say to me
Oh what a rotten fellow
Oh what a rotten fellow
Now nasty diseases
sure spring some surprises
they eat little holes
where you shouldn't find them
they gobble away
like worms in a grave
with the state of your flesh
only one thing to say
you're a rotter
Chorus:
Oh rot on rotters, rot away
rot on rotters, it's ok
rot on rotters, have some fun
rot on rotters, rot on rot on
This crazy new thing
called the Body Rot
is sweepin the world
gonna rot the lot
the acrid stench
of decayed human flesh
gonna fill the air
with aromas so fresh
Chorus:
Oh rot on rotters, rot away
rot on rotters, it's ok
rot on rotters, have some fun
rot on rotters, rot on rot on
Ah, you better wrap up
and lock yourself away
or the bugs in the air
gonna get ye some day
in this crazy game
only mummies are safe
yeah, mum is the word
if ye wanna be saved
Hey! what's it all about
hear all the humans shout
well Body Rot's for rotters
ask a rotter what he's got
and he'll tell you it's full of flowers
flowers
Chorus:
Oh rot on rotters, rot away
rot on rotters, it's ok
rot on rotters, have some fun
rot on rotters, rot on rot on
