The animal man

the animal man of bottleline two
flys like a bolt out of the blue

runs like a rabbit hither and yon
now he's here now he's gone

the animal man ain't got a chance
paid the fiddler but he can't dance

he likes a break once in a while
but he can't rest its not his style

the animal man of bottleline two
he's trapped like a rat until he is through

he's trampled on by fickle Fate
he cometh in early and he goeth home late

everyone screams for his calm advice
the crew can be crazy but he must be nice

the animal man is just a cog
in huge machine that cranks out grog

at the end of the day his relief will appear
then he can rest and enjoy a beer
