lyrics

Oh the Northern Snakehead fish
Of legs is rather fond
He left Shanghai to make a home
In a Crofton runoff pond

And his slimy little feet
They grew out from his chest
When he left his wife he did not leave
A forwarding address

All the snobby Crofton folks
They tried to keep him out
But the snakehead stayed and he went ahead
And killed the local trout

When the Great Recession hit
He enacted his plan
He sold tee shirts on the side of the road
Like a real American

And the Chinese won't agree
To take his majesty
He's a no good slouch that sleeps on my couch
He keeps bad company

He's a clever snakehead fish
Got skills with magic tricks
And the way the ladies cling to him
You'd think he had eight dicks
