lyrics

Silverfish on my bathroom floor,
What do you swish your trident tail for?
Do you fear spiders? I fear them too.
You have more reason, since spiders can eat you.
Silverfish, insect adventurer
The Livingstone of the Lino
Silverfish, I never will squish you.

Silverfish on my bathroom floor,
What is your wish? What are you searching for?
Do you crave mildew, dust mites or glue?
If it’s the last one, I grew up with kids like you.
Silverfish, insect adventurer
The Livingstone of the Lino
Silverfish, I never will squish you.

One tragic morning, as I was getting washed
One of your cousins got in the way, and squashed.
Poor little fellow, he’ll scurry no more
Freeze at my footsteps
And join the little flurry for the door.

Silverfish, you’re not like me, it’s true.
Still, I won’t dish misfortune out on you.
I look at you with curious eyes
You just feel rumbling, see shadows in your skies.
Silverfish, insect adventurer
The Livingstone of the Lino
Silverfish, I never will squish you.
