Secret of Survival

Secret of Survival is a song sung by the weasels in the 1996 adaptation of The Wind in the Willows. It's about their "only out for themselves" way of life.

Lyrics
First you see us, then you don't

Now you hear us, now you won't

It's our secret of survival in a very nasty world

Now you feel us, now you can't

Are we real? Perhaps we aren't?

It's our secret of survival in a very nasty world

It's our secret of survival in a very nasty world

Nastier than you could ever dream of

From up above, and from beneath

Eyes and jaws, claws and teeth

Ready to attack you you're a snack you'd better run!

Don't come walking in The Wild Wood if you haven't got a gun.

Ha haha haha ha

Every creature for survival has to look out for itself

Got no nannies hereor grannies dear to look after your health

You're in The Wild Wood, and every child could tell you that you got no business to be here!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!

First you see us, then you don't

Now you hear us, now you won't

It's our secret of survival in a very nasty world

Now you feel us, now you can't

Are we real? Perhaps we aren't?

It's our secret of survival it's our secret of survival it's our secret of survival in a very nasty world.
