You know I love my baby

I like the way that she hugs

People don’t understand

She’s a banana slug

She’s got just one foot

But she ain’t got no toes

She just hangs out in the forest

Helpin’ it decompose

The way you shake your antenna

You know it gives me such bliss

C’mon, c’mon, c’mon banana slug

And let me give you a kiss

Chorus

Oh when you slide through the forest

You know you look so fine

C’mon, c’mon, c’mon banana slug

And let me feel your slime

Chorus

Now I’m broke up about my baby

Found out she doesn’t need me

She told me just the other night

That she is also a he.    Hermaphroditic she’s a...

Chorus

Now some folks think that she’s gross

But I don’t hear that jive

Cause if it weren’t for my baby

This forest might not survive
