The Ballad of Skunk Ape Lyrics

Deep down in Florida

What could be that smell

What's that in the bushes

It made me run for help

It looked like part gorilla

Maybe just a man

Soon he became a legend

Development he sought to ban

People call him Skunk Ape

Always near construction

He is our conscious bout'

Habitat destruction

Skunk Ape

Kinda' hard to see em'

Skunk Ape

Maybe a mirage

Skunk Ape

Is he hyp-o-thetical

Skunk Ape

Crypto-zoo-ah-logical

Are there any others

Better check it quick

Everglades are going

So fast it makes me sick

Say goodbye to the Panther

Goodbye to the bear

Here comes developers

Those people just don't care

Skunk Ape

Kinda' hard to see em'

Skunk Ape

Maybe a mirage

Skunk Ape

Is he hyp-o-thetical

Skunk Ape

Crypto-zoo-ah-logical

A condo over here

A Townhouses over there

City planners and politicians see

Profits everywhere

What left isn't Florida

Its gotten a new look

Gone are precious wetlands

They did it by the book

Skunk Ape

Kinda' hard to see em'

Skunk Ape

Maybe a mirage

Skunk Ape

Is he hyp-o-thetical

Skunk Ape

Crypto-zoo-ah-logical

So, Skunk Ape tries to show us

Where we're going wrong

We see him in the clear cut

We see him in the dredge

We see him in the bushes

Of our neighbor's hedge

we should stop polluting

We shouldn't over build

Skunk Ape tries to tell us

Before we all get killed.

Skunk Ape

Kinda' hard to see em'

Skunk Ape

Maybe a mirage

Skunk Ape

Is he myth-o-logical

Skunk Ape

Crypto-zoo-ah-logical

Skunk Ape

Just like a big foot

Skunk Ape

Wrasslin a gator

Skunk Ape

Riding on a horseshoe

Skunk Ape

Rodeoin' Manatee

Skunk Ape

Skunk Ape

Skunk Ape

Skunk Ape

Skunk Ape

Skunk Ape

Skunk Ape

Skunk Ape

Skunk Ape

Skunk Ape

Skunk Ape

Skunk Ape
