lyrics

Jerry was a taxidermist in the U.S.A
Then the navy seals came and sailed him away
Then he was a taxidermist up in Greenland
He wondered why all of the ice had turned to land
Then he was a taxidermist over in UK
Scotland weren't there and the Welsh they ran away
Then he was a taxidermist in Australia
He wondered why it looked just like America
Then he was a taxidermist over in Ukraine
Everything was peachy until the Russians came
Then he was a taxidermist down in the Maldives
Everything was sinking so they lived up in the trees
Then he was a taxidermist for the Head of State
She wasn't very friendly but she paid an honest rate
Then he was a taxidermist out in Mexico
The cartels held him hostage and they wouldn't let him go
Until they did and then he did some taxidermy in Peru
Took some Ayahuasca and he turned into you
Jerry was a taxidermist all of his life
He even met a taxidermist and made her his wife
Then he wrote a screenplay but it didn't do too good
Critics said his message was misunderstood
He said "I was a taxidermist all over the world and the only thing I've learned is that it's fun to stuff a bird."
