As far as I know, the lyrics to the infamous Badger song goes like: Badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger Mushroom mushroom Badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger Mushroom mushroom Badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger Mushroom mushroom Badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger Mushroom mushroom After that, though … well, I’m lost. Is it … Oh it’s a snake! or African snake! or … something else entirely? ---

I think it says, “African snake, snake, a snake, oooohhh, it’s a big, it’s a…” and then back to the “badger, badger…” ---

Snake, a snake, ohhh, its a snake…” > I don’t know where you got those lyrics. \*\* Just listening and trying to make it out.

I thought it was “aaah it’s a snake, etc” Wouldn’t it account for those extra syllables y’all are hearing? ---

My college roommate and I hypothesized that the snake bit goes like this… “Snake! Snake! A dirty farking snake!..”
