Nasty Panda

China charges 1 million annually
For each panda in our zoos
If we won't pay in full
Then the pandas we will lose
Nasty Panda's the exception
No one wants him here or there
He was paid 1 million dollars
To abscond and disappear!
.
Here comes the Nasty Panda
          ~He's much more than you can bear
He's such a nasty panda
          ~He leaves cooties everywhere
Beware of Nasty Panda
          ~He do anything he please
Stay clear of Nasty Panda
          ~He eats shoots and leaves
.
I smelled him 'fore I seen 'em
That black and white pariah
Slippin' slidin' in my kitchen
On smooshy mushy pulp papaya
I yelled for him to stop
And I told him where to go
Wink and laugh was all he did
With a Homer Simpson "D'oh!"
.
Here comes the Nasty Panda
          ~He's much more than you can bear
He's such a nasty panda
          ~He leaves cooties everywhere
Beware of Nasty Panda
          ~He do anything he please
Stay clear of Nasty Panda
          ~He eats shoots and leaves.
.
He hasn't bathed in ages
Masked by quarts of cheap cologne
His furry skin sweat-sticky
From the surface to the bone
Smelly cigar and boozy breath
Plus an air of upper-crust
Please keep your kids away
Cuz that nasty bear can cuss!
.
Here comes the Nasty Panda
          ~He's much more than you can bear
He's such a nasty panda
          ~He leaves cooties everywhere
Beware of Nasty Panda
          ~He do anything he please
Stay clear of Nasty Panda
          ~He eats shoots and leaves
.
If you meet up with Nasty Panda
Better turn around and run
You're bound to lose your money
And your wits before he's done
Don't shed tears for Nasty Panda
Cuz he likes the way things are
Don't forget to hide your keys
Else he'll drive off in your car!
.
Here comes the Nasty Panda
          ~He's much more than you can bear
He's such a nasty panda
          ~He leaves cooties everywhere
Beware of Nasty Panda
          ~He do anything he please
Stay clear of Nasty Panda
          ~He eats shoots and leaves
.
Here comes the Nasty Panda
          ~He's a scoundrel and a bum
He's such a nasty panda
          ~He's as nasty as they come
Beware of Nasty Panda
          ~He's gonna raise a stink
Stay clear of Nasty Panda
          ~He's much nastier than you think
