Prairie Dog Town - Bruce Hornsby & The Noisemakers

作词：Bruce Hornsby

作曲：Bruce Hornsby

Poppin″ up poppin″ down

Burrowing making their funny little sounds

Guarding the ground and rooting all around

Watch your dry bones in the prairie dog town

１ Teddy Roosevelt said come quick

There″ s a phenomenon and I″ m in the thick of it

Riding around the badlands range

They came upon those creatures so strange

They″ re so small they couldn″ t hurt you

Just like they said about Napoleon too

Oh so cute they″ re sneaking around

Hiding the crimes ″ round the Prairie Dog Town

They lay in wait ″ neath the Dakota moon

For the chance to make you their next victim soon

Poppin″ up poppin″ down

Burrowing making their funny little sounds

Guarding the ground and rooting all around

Watch your dry bones in the prairie dog town

２ Went to a party at the Prairie Dog Town

Hills and holes and manicured grounds

Gaiety and chattering was in the air

While grinning teeth waited to bite you there

Small of mind better watch your back

Need rapid-moving eyes just to keep track

Behind the Bush he makes the gut strings wail

You can″ t judge a dog by the wag of its tail

Poppin″ up poppin″ down

Burrowing making their funny little sounds

Guarding the ground and rooting all around

Watch your dry bones in the prairie dog town

Don″ t put your trust in a prairie dog

They″ ll rob you back and steal your drawers

Stay in your car behind the glass

Or you might get some big sharp teeth in that ass

Disregard the great ethical truths

It″ s the collective life of the herd for you

Closed society no open door policy

Collectivist secretive ideology

Utilitarian

Sublimation of individual identities

Suppression of dissidents

Communal living country club victory

For him and her and she and he

Poppin″ up poppin″ down

Burrowing making their funny little sounds

Guarding the ground and rooting all around

Watch your dry bones in the prairie dog town

Poppin′ up poppin′ down

Burrowing making their funny little sounds

Guarding the ground and rooting all around

Watch your dry bones in the prairie dog town
