Lyrics
Snakehead Pond (c) 2003 by L.J. Montgomery In a pond in Anne Arundel Near where soc__cer moms abound Live some strange non-native creatures That are feared for miles around One was caught by a local angler Took its picture, then threw it back Showed the photo to the local rangers And they about had a heart attack The fish are native to the Yangtze And they're get__ting out of hand They can crawl out of the water and then move across the land (Chorus) Some said shock and some said poison Some said drain the pond and fill And some said pray for divine guidance Northern Snakeheads for to kill Well the story brought reporters With their sat__ellite uplinks Out behind the Dunkin Donuts The camera lights began to blink A hundred dollar reward was offered If you could catch one on the site The DNR added "Wanted" posters Which were sto__len that very night Then a man named Joe Gillespie Caught a twen__ty six inch fish And then they found a bunch of babies Which was the last thing you would wish Oh….. (Chorus) Some said shock and some said poison Some said drain the pond and fill And some said pray for divine guidance Northern Snakeheads for to kill So consi__dering the options Poison seems the way to go First you kill the vegetation Then you apply the Rotenone So the snake__heads' days are numbered If things go as they are planned And if we're lucky maybe the media Will follow them to the Promised Land Oh… (Chorus) Some said shock and some said poison Some said drain the pond and fill And some said pray for divine guidance Northern Snakeheads for to kill Newscast time needs to be filled
