Laughter's What They're After

My tail was used to waggin'

While flirtin' in the sun 

But now my ass is draggin'

From all the deeds they've done 

The poachers all are gaffin'

Was hopin' they were dead

But they continued laughin'

While choppin' off my head

Won't need old Gordon Gekko

When my final days are done 

My ears will never echo

All the laughter in the sun
