Inside My Head For Contest
Inside my head there is just so much stuff
and most of it useless, strangely enough
stupid facts that I learned in childhood days
I use every day to confuse and amaze
A slug has four noses, I’m sure you knew
And elephants can’t jump, it’s also true
Every house fly will hum in the key of F
And when bats leave a cave they always turn left
there’s no paper money, it’s all made of cotton
and Honey’s forever, it never goes rotten
a tiger has striped skin and not just striped fur
there’s no cats in the Bible, no wonder they purr
Octopuses have three hearts, nine brains and blue blood
Snails can sleep for three years – if only I could
Here’s one you should try, you can’t tickle yourself
And don’t sneeze with your eyes open – bad for your health
Ants fall to the right when they’ve drunk too much beer
Polar bears are left-handed, isn’t that *****?
Birds cannot pee and worms eat their own poo
And a crocodile can’t poke his tongue out at you
Kangaroos cannot jump if you lift up their tail
And a small child could swim through the veins of a whale
Worms taste of bacon, starfish have no brain
But when they lose a limb, they can grow it again
A shrimp has a heart which he keeps in his head
A hot Hippo is scary, his sweat is bright red
The best thought in my head though, I’m pleased to admit
There is just one of me and God loves me to bits
