mary crowell - shifty screavy lyrics
[verse]
shifty screavy was a rat
and a shifty little rat was he
fast as you could kick a can
he would change into a man;
blink an eye and back a rodent be
[verse]
shifty screavy liked to walk
in the shadows with his friends at night
and he had a walking stick
that could see through every trick
knock in doors, and also win in a fight
[verse]
shifty screavy wandered far
found a way to plumb the dragon’s well
he recovered treasures there
lost within the dragon’s lair
came back home with lots of stuff to sell
[chorus]
and shifty’s the king of the wererats
has a slight case of lycanthropy
all of his brothers, oh they love a fight!
nip and tuck, concealer, and he
[verse]
nip and tuck were ratty twins –
the pranksters of the wererat crew
they excelled at swapping lies
were the masters of disguise
and could cook a batch of zombie stew
(ew!)
[verse]
concealer hid the pack away
had a cape that let them disappear
with the tiniest of sniffs
he could find all traps and glyphs
that were hidden in the dragon’s lair
[chorus]
and shifty’s the king of the wererats
has a slight case of lycanthropy
all of his brothers, oh they love a fight!
nip and tuck, concealer, and he
[verse]
the zombie lord he smelled a rat
and a shifty little rat he smelled
he was full of firm belief
that our sneaky little thief
could tell him where the dragon dwelled
[verse]
the zombie lord he laid in wait
in the shadows by ol’ shifty’s lair
well, it really hurt his pride
that he had to wait outside
he couldn’t cross the warding there
[chorus]
and shifty’s the king of the wererats
has a slight case of lycanthropy
all of his brothers, oh they love a fight!
nip and tuck, concealer, and he
[spoken:]
well, the zombie lord, he had some words to say. and he said
“aaaaaarrrrgggghh! errrrrrrrmmm. rrrraaarrrrr!
gggrrrrrrrrrr! wreeeeeeaaaarrgh!”
[spoken:]
well, that didn’t make a whole lot of sense to you or me
and it didn’t make much sense to screavy
luckily the stick could translate
[verse]
“shifty screavy, tell me where
all your brothers go to get that gear
there’s no need to be a pain —
i just want to pick your brain.”
said the rat, “and also eat it, i fear.”
[verse]
“shifty screavy, tell me now
stop your jokes; you’re having no more fun
or you’ll never blow a breath
for my wand will be your death
said the rat, “oh, you mean this one?”
[chorus]
and shifty’s the king of the wererats
has a slight case of lycanthropy
all of his brothers, oh they love a fight!
nip and tuck, concealer, and he
[verse]
shifty screavy raised the wand
and prepared to blast the king undead
but before the blast he planned
could commence, it left his hand
and it floated there beside his head
[verse]
concealer murmured, “use your brain
or better yet, why don’t we use our swords?”
as really anyone could see
this old wand – it is the key
turns the living into zombie hordes
[spoken:]
remember shifty’s magic stick?
it could see through any trick—
even concealer’s!
[verse]
shifty smiled ’cause he could see
all around him with the magic stick
nip and tuck were there beside him
with concealer as their guide
said the rats, “we’ve got some b-tt to kick!”
[chorus]
and shifty’s the king of the wererats
has a slight case of lycanthropy
all of his brothers, oh they love a fight!
nip and tuck, concealer, and he
[verse]
the rats and zombies fought all night
and the zombies never seemed to tire
“i’m afraid we’re getting beat
lads, i think it’s time to cheat.”
and the wererats lit the wand on fire
[verse]
the zombie lord he screamed aloud
“arrrrgh,” was all he could respond
“no translation,” said the stick
“’cause he’s angry at your trick
for his soul is there inside that wand.”
[verse]
all the zombies fell down dead —
started turning into zombie sludge
nip and tuck began a stew
or maybe zombie cordon bleu
how it tasted you can be the judge
[chorus]
and shifty’s the king of the wererats
has a slight case of lycanthropy
all of his brothers, oh they love a fight!
nip and tuck, concealer, and he
[chorus/outro]
and shifty’s the king of the wererats
has a slight case of lycanthropy
all of his brothers, oh they love a fight!
nip and tuck, concealer, and he
all of his brothers, oh they love a fight
nip and tuck, concealer and he
