Healin' Brew

Deep here in the Hayseed Swamp, we’ve lived a long ‘ol time Doin’ our best to get along with all the critter life Our masks & stews all simple but, it’s peaceful an’ sublime Never had too much hardship or, even a little strife ‘Til the folks fell sick with all these horrid spots Coughing up with bubbles, sneezing lightning snot Cough, pop, zap and boom The plague was spreading way too soon Cough, pop, zap and boom I feared it’d be our doom If I could not mix a healin’ brew The fever’d claim me too With no one left to do We’d say adieu Every old elixir and, each potion I could find Didn’t change that accursed plant, or poison that’s inside When soon it claimed my mother too, in bed she slept maligned I stared down in the bayou, to see if that’d provide Me the answer to save everyone I loved When some flash bees flew out, hovered just above Cough, pop, zap and boom The flowers opened up their plumes Cough, pop, zap and boom And spread their toxic fumes But the flash bees were left unamused And took the pollen too And that is when I knew What I must do After many tries and far too many stings I did realize just what would be the thing For my healin’ mask looked like the flash bee queen Let me take their honey without gettin’ mean Cough, pop, zap and boom One by one and room to room Cough, pop, zap and boom The honey, once consumed Healed them all up quick, shooed away the gloom We drank the healin’ brew And all escaped the tomb! But now for you... Not much I can do Unless you need a potion brewed But I’ve done my due To see our problems through If you really think you need me too I’ll pack some different brews And help you to undo The Sirens’ gloom
