about

Originally recorded during a 2017 rehearsal. Additional tracks added in summer of 2018.

lyrics

About the long eared, they said she could
Make a mountain with a molehill
The shelled one even trying, it's like
Building a canoe with a trapdoor

About the long-eared, they said she went
Racing off to infinity
The shelled one commenced crying
Like the floor of a canoe with a trapdoor

She goes fee fie
He go foe fum

On the hilltop, she looks behind
Sees no shell and lays her head down
Bathing in the sun and in her
Sense of security is a dream

On the hilltop she looks ahead
Sees that shell and hangs her head down
The shelled one with it's shuffling kept on
Going kept on going, gone done won

He won fee fie
She lost foe fum
