Possum's Point of View

Possum’s Point of View

Raccoon’s got a bushy tail

Rabbit’s got a ball of hair

Fox’s tail is soft and long

But my possum tail is bare, yup yup, my possum tail is bare

Hangin’ upside down I learned

The thing I always knew

Nothin’s as it seems once you’ve had

A different point of view, yup yup, a different point of view

Possums are so strange

With their heads down to the ground

But maybe this old world

Is the one that’s upside down, yup yup, it’s the one that’s upside down

(He’s been talkin’ like that)

I’ve been talkin’ like this since I was a little pup

(We call him upside down) They call me upside down

But I might be right side up (side down) Yup, I might be right side up

 

All the squirrels work all the day

But I work all the night

They all think that I’m all wrong

But I know that I’m alright, yup yup, I know that I’m alright

Possums are so strange

‘Cause they stay up all the night

But maybe this old world

Just hasn’t seen the light, yup yup, it hasn’t seen the light - Chorus

Sometimes I lay by the side of the road

Gettin’ thoughts out of my head

But they say that’s just a waste of time

And they call it playin’ dead, yup yup, they call it playin’ dead

Possums are so strange

When they slow down their breath

But this world never slows down enough

To think about life and death, yup yup, to think about life and death - Chorus
