Rat The Newt

from Lullabies For Luci by J. M. Smig

/

lyrics

Rat's a little,
little slick,
little slick newt.
Lives in a cave
sittin' under a boot.

Lives in a cave
and waits for the flood
'cuz little slick newts
like to play in the mud.

Havin' mud fights
with his friend
Mister Fly,
Pullin' him down
and gettin' mud
in his eye.

Rat's a little,
little slick,
little slick newt.
Lives in a cave
sittin' under a boot.

Swimmin' in the mud,
Rat met a fish
who told him to kiss her
and make a wish.

Rat put his nose
and his tail in the air
and said
"Get lost, fish.
I don't really care."

Rat hit the fish
with a willow reed.
He hit her so hard
that she started to bleed.

Rat's a little,
little slick,
little slick newt.
Lives in a cave
sittin' under a boot.

Rat's a little,
little slick,
little slick newt.
Lives in a cave
sittin' under a boot.

He don't like fish
but he likes the mud
and swimmin' in and out
when it mix with the blood.

Rat's a little,
little slick,
little slick newt.
Lives in a cave
sittin' under a boot.

about

J. M. Smig Salem, Massachusetts

The musical equivalent of the guy at the party who offends everyone by mooning the camera (but guess what everyone does to the camera minutes later), Smig is the Witch City's composer laureate (not a difficult achievement, in all honesty).

"[C]ontemporary music for the bizarre at heart...[His] electronica and classical works operate in a style unlike any other."
