Vile Vile Grass

Lyrics

Tarzan in the jungle And Tarzan on TV So much is happening It's impossible, impossible to see

I think I will go And lie in The vile, vile grass

Vile, vile grass Vile, vile grass

I think I will go And lie In the vile, vile grass

Tarzan in the jungle And Tarzan on TV So much is happening It's impossible, impossible to see

I think I will go And lie In the vile, vile grass

I think I will go And lie In the vile, vile grass

I think I will go And lie In the vile, vile grass

Vile, vile grass Vile, vile grass

I think I will go And lie In the vile, vile grass
