Lyrics

Hey little Moo Moo
Light as a rainbow
Happy as an asteroid
Crashed in the bathtub
Yeah sitting in the bathtub
Full of her fingers
Full of her fingers
Sitting in the bathtub
Says I’m scared and lonely
Never see no one
Says I’m scared and lonely
Here come the Wolfman
Saying hey little Moo Moo
Saying hey little Moo Moo
Sitting in the bathtub

My heathen child
She’s a heathen child
She’s a heathen child
She’s a real wild child

She gotta little powder
She gotta little gun
She gotta little poison, gotta little gun
Sitting in the bathtub sucking her thumb
Says I don’t care about Buddha
I don’t care about Krishna
I don’t care about Allah
I don’t care about any of them
Just sitting in the bathtub sucking her thumb

Cause she’s a heathen child
She’s a heathen child
She’s a heathen child
Yeah she’s a real wild child

Poor little Moo Moo
Papped and Monroed
She’s gotta little powder, gotta lil gun
Sitting in the bathtub having some fun
She was raised by beasts
Photographed by vultures
Here come the Wolfman!
The Abominable Snowman!
Gotta little poison
Gotta little gun
Sitting in the bathtub
Waiting for the Wolfman to come

You think your great big husband will protect you
You are wrong
You think your little wife will protect you
You are wrong
You think your children will protect you
You are wrong
You think your government will protect you
You are wrong
She don’t care about Allah
She is the Allah
She don’t care about Buddah
She is the Buddah

She’s a heathen child
She’s a heathen child
She’s a heathen child
She’s a real wild child

Down child! Down child!
