peter himmelman - my best friend is a salamander lyrics

[verse 1]
when the salamanders moved next door, dad was quite upset
when mom dropped by to meet them, their floor was dripping wet
their kitchen table was covered with mud, ’cause that’s what a salamander likes
when mom saw them eating breakfast on it, she just shouted “yikes”
well, as it turns out, one of the salamander kids was just about my age
he talked a lot and slept in a box that smelled just like my hamster cage
but when that salamander took mе swimming in the mud in the hallway by the dеn
that’s when we both started laughing that’s when we became best friends

[verse 2]
when he invited me to his house, he said i simply had to try
a piece of grasshopper foot or a bite of roasted fly
i popped the fly right in my mouth it was crunchy and not too bad
i made a mental note there and then to bring one home to dad

[chorus]
my best friend is a salamander he eats bugs for snacks
he’s covered with slime, and his skin has spots up and down his back
when i got to know him better, he turned out to be quite sweet
you shouldn’t judge a friend by how he looks or by what he eats
come on, roll in the mud with me now, ya
[verse 3]
his father works in construction he digs with his two front claws
his mother, she collects bugs in the pond when the winter ice thaws (oh, there’s a beauty)
i had him over for dinner just about a week or two ago
my folks said he was well behaved he said, “please yes and thank you no”
well, then he had to use the bathroom i thought i knew the reason why
he had to jump into the tub cause his skin was getting dry
ever since that day, i’ve never been bored again
i wish that you could meet my green salamander friend

[outro]
or by what he smells like, actually
