Buckner & Garcia - Ode to a Centipede Lyrics

The centipede multiplies and divides
Comes after you from every side,
Faster and faster, row by row,
He starts from the rocks to chew from below

Oh, oh,
Centipede, you can't run away!
Centipede, you can't run away!

(spoken)
You can't run.
You can't hide.
I'm coming to get you.
Here I come!

The centipede twists and bends,
The spiders are his only friends,
If you can get them before they get you
They go back to the top and you start on rack two!

Oh, oh,
Centipede, you can't run away!
Centipede, you can't run away!

(spoken)
You can't get away, little centipede
I'm right behind you.
Don't try hiding behind the mushrooms.
I see you!

Oh, oh,
Centipede, you can't run away!
Centipede, you can't run away!

(spoken)
The spiders can't help you now.
I'm gonna get ya.
Go ahead and run your little legs off.
Do you have Nikes for all of 'em?

The centipede multiplies and divides
Comes after you from every side,
Faster and faster, row by row,
He starts from the rocks to chew from below

Oh, oh,
Centipede, you can't run away!
Centipede, you can't run away!

(spoken)
I understand now
You want to play hide-and-seek, don't you?
I'll play with you.
Come out, come out, wherever you are!

Oh, oh,
Centipede, you can't run away!
Centipede, you can't run away!

(spoken)
Come here, little centipede.
I'm gonna chase you down now.
You can't fool me by changing colors.
Here I come!
