Styx parody lyrics
Tentacle Poisoning
For use with Heavy Metal Poisoning
(What does the markup on these lyrics mean?)
What, sea devil, (be) going on
Why don’t you learn sheet music (for) organ
I’m going deaf from face on keyboard
But all you do is re - peat more
Get the heck out of me boat
Stop your limiting to five middle notes
Lunatic who cut yer own veins
But-didn’t-seem to feel the pain
Tent - acle, tent - acle poisoning, it’s a poison
Toxic wastewater, got a toxic wastewater
In your ear canal, in your ear canal
I’m over-grossed, losing me-apples, suffering, yeah!
You’re overloaded, overloaded
With (a) squid and crab, squid and crab
Tens-of-keys in black and white
All be - yond yer beard save five
Yer hands should play the organ fine
Even in yer twisted, pickled mind
This be Barbossa, I be Barbossa and I’m here to sing, yeah!
Those tent - acles, tent - acles be poisoning, poisoning!
It’s a music wastewater that destroys the organ, yeah!
You’re overloaded, overloaded with
(A) squid and crab, squid and crab, squid and crab, and bar - na - cles!
Tent - acle, tent - acle poisoning, it’s a poison
Toxic wastewater, got a toxic wastewater
In your love canal, love canal
I’m over-grossed, losing me-apples, suffering, yeah!
You’re overloaded, overloaded
With (a) squid and crab, squid and crab
Barbossa, Barbossa, Barbossa, Barbossa, Barbossa, Barbossa, aye! Stop him! Stop him!
