Undertakers

[by the Bungee Jumpin’ Cows]

Topic: Decomposition

Summary: The mighty horde of decomposers sing, rap, and chant to describe their role in turning dead things into dirt.

Everybody say hey Hey Everybody say ho Ho

Now throw your antennae in the air and wave ‘em ‘round like you don’t care

Say munch it Munch it Everybody say crunch it Crunch it

The log, the log, the log is decomposing

The ants go marching 2 by 2

When things drop dead Plop - boom

Then we get fed and we feed the flower bed Munch it - and crunch it

Will you appreciate - will you be grateful dead? I don't think so- no way!

But we never refuse your refuse Fine dining and - good eats

Can you dig it? You can dig it 'cause we dig it.

Even your nose is going to decompose. Because...

Chorus: We're undertakers can you hear our thunder (repeat)

If it's dead or dung gonna take it under (repeat)We eat it all for you

Munch it and crunch it

The living skin of the earth - Soil

wouldn't exist if we weren't around - Chompin', and stompin'

We ain't Beethoven - we decompose

Our destruction is soil creation Mas-ti-ca-TION!

But we tunnel, we dig, we squirm, we crawl

Garbage and goo - We love it all

Your belly button too will be dirt when we are through

Chorus

break it on down, break it on down

Chorus

Eatin' fast we make Soil. Take it slow we make Oil

We're setting free the sun's energy Nibble nibble, plop drop

Birth to earth Dust to dust to make the cycle go ‘round - In us you trust

The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out

Chorus (2x)

Munch it and crunch it - we eat it all for you (3x)

Your stinky feet too, will be rotten when we're through

We decompose the symphony of life

When you're already dead you probably won't miss your head
