Subject: Lyr Add: THAT'S A MORAY (Allan Aunapu)
THAT'S A MORAY!
As recorded by Allan Aunapu on "Down on the Coast" (2010)

Put your hand in a crack and you don't get it back; that's a moray.
He's protecting his shack and he really doesn't like you, signore.
He's got nasty old teeth and he never does brush; that's his storay;
And you'll pay for that feel with a knot that won't heal; that's a moray.

Well of course you won't get it back from the moray.
Adding to his collection of hands keeps him quite busy.
He won't care much for folks, not even their jokes; what a pity!
His old lady's irate cause his part of the cave is so shitty.

So I get it; you want some revenge on the moray.
You go down to the Japanese rest'raunt and ask for some sushay.
When they serve up smoked eel, it just might reveal you're passe(?)
If true justice prevailed it'd be you on the plate, not the sushi.

If you think things are bad right now, they're gonna get worser.
People are still eating more eels than vice versa;
But if you don't mess with him, he won't mess with you; there's no worry.
He won't leave his cave; he likes lobster; he's not in a hurry.

But if you mess with his lobster, it's personal, and you'd better scurry.
He just may decide to have you with some curry.
