lyrics

Sloth moth, sloth moth
Sloth moth, sloth moth

Well, you’ve been living on a sloth
Who is living in a tree.
You make your home on the road
In the slow lane crawling free.
Though your sloth is laid back and lazy
All the other moths call you crazy
They call you
Sloth moth, sloth moth
Sloth moth, sloth moth

No point in living in the past
Give no thought to where you’ve been,
Not when the world is rolling past
In a blaze of brown and green.
Wouldn’t swap it for a wardrobe, would you,
Or hitting on a traffic light? No, it’s good to
Be a
Sloth moth, sloth moth
Sloth moth, sloth moth

For this is home
Where the mold is growing green
On fuzzy fur so coarse and warm,
Where friendly fleas
Are leaping here and everywhere.
This is your front-row seat
Your hideout from the storm
You lucky sloth moth.

Sloth moth, sloth moth
Sloth moth, sloth moth

Well, you’ve been living on a sloth
And your friends all live there too.
You fly down to lay your eggs
When the sloth climbs down to
Use the facilities.
Though I wouldn’t try it if I could, me,
Your life is everything it really should be
You lucky
Sloth moth, sloth moth
Sloth moth, sloth moth
