Lyrics
Mr. Centepede: I've eaten many strange and scrumpous dishes in my time Like chillied bugs, and curied slugs and ear wigs cooked in slime And mice with rice is very nice when they're roasted in their prime But don't forget to sprinkle them with just a pinch of grime I'm crazy bout' mosquitos on a piece of buttered toast And pickled spines and porcupines and then a great big roast! And dragon's flesh quite old not fresh it costs a bucket mouse Mrs. Lightening Bug: Does it come with gravy? Mr. Centepede: It comes to you in barrel's if you order it by post! (Music) All: It comes to you in barrel's if you order it by post! Mr. Grasshopper: For dinner on my birthday shall I tell you what I chose? Port noodles made of goodles on the slice of garden hose And a rather smelly jelly made of armadillo's toes The jelly is delicious but you have to hold your nose All: Peach peach peach peach Peach peach peach peach Peach peach peach peach Mrs. Ladybug I crave for tasty tentacles of octopi for tea I love hotdogs but I love hot frogs and surely you'll agree A plate of soil with engine oil's a super Sourcerecipe Centepede and James: Recipe Mrs. Ladybug I hardly need to mention that it's practically free! All: Peach peach peach peach Peach peach peach peach Peach peach peach peach We hardly need to mention that it's practically free! Mr. Centepede: Now comes my fellow travelers the burdon of my speech (Miss Spider: show off) Centepede: These foods are rare beyond compare and some right out of reach (Miss Spider: Nice aim Comadour) Centepede: But there's no doubt I'd go without a million plates of each (Miss Spider: Out of my face.) Centepede: For one small mite (All: one small mite) One tiny bite (All: tiny bite) All: Of this fantastic Peach!!!!!! Peach peach peach peach Peach peach peach peach Peach peach peach peach Peach peach peach peach Peach peach peach peach Peach peach peach peach Of this fantastic peach!
