Dirt

Forty-two from behind the hills
With sticks and pieces of wood
Twenty-seven on the metal fence
And they brought pebbles and stones
Seven dogs met along the road
Didn't dare to bark
The army got mighty and strong
When eighty-nine joined from the park

But the pleasure is mine
If you turn off the light
Yes the pleasure is mine
Just turn off the light and hide well under the cover
We're at the edge of a civil war

The raccoons traveled sixty weeks
All across the land
Till they reached the enemy coast
Where the snakes gathered their command
Thirty-seven jumped from the trees
The rest they were just screaming wildly
The big battle was about to start
But the ocean was only meters away

I call the octopus, please help me!
Help me to prevent a civil war

At the edge of the river
We'll wash our dirty hands
At the end of the night
All your nightmares will disappear
At the sound of a slamming door
When your sleepy eye catches the light
It's your time, it's your role, only you can stop the fight

A deep noise came from the water
The ocean opened at once
Crazy waves going up and down
The octopus emerged at last
I came to listen to you all
And every voice here counts
Everyone got quite and still
Their surprise was much too large

Now the pleasure is mine
Just turn off the light and sing along
'Coz we managed to stop a civil war
