Music: “Leeches” by Toren Atkinson

Lyrics

I heard you scream

I tried to ask about it

you had a dream

You wouldn’t talk about it

I’m guessing you were down in the bog

you’re coming out

to find its covered you with leeches

back in the day

of all the barber-surgeons

not feeling great

a sickness is emergin’

well there was only one thing to do

sit in the chair

they’re gonna cover you with leeches

oh what a day

can you even imagine

you lost a thumb

were gonna reattach it

the clotting blood it gums up the works

we’ll get it out

we’re gonna cover you with leeches
