Wanna sing along?

Here's the lyrics:

In the Meadow

As the bluebird flies
On a green and damp Carolina morn, a poor little baby beaver's born
in the meadow

And his mama cries.
For if there is one thing she don't need, it's another furry faced
slaptailed mouth to feed
In the meadow

Hey people now, can't you see, this child needs a helping hand
or he's gonna be an angry young mammal one day.
Take a look at you and me; are we too blind to see? or do we simply
turn our heads and paddle off away

And the world goes by
The peace of the forest meets the rage of the streets as they pave
another freeway to RTP
Through the meadow

And his mind is fried
For if there is one thing he can't conceive, it's a lot more tar and a
lot less trees
In the meadow

Then one day in desperation, the young beaver breaks away
He gnaws on a tree, and gets shot as diseased by the NC DOT

And his mama cries.
And on a green and damp Carolina morn, another little beaver child is born
in the meadow


Beaver Las Vegas

Bright light wetlands gonna set my soul
Gonna set my soul on fire
There's a whole lotta acres I'm just rarin' to chew, so get those
stakes up higher
And there's a thousand lady beavers, waitin' for me
To lay them underneath the loblolly tree
Where we'll dine on the pine and the flossin' is free
Beaver Las Vegas
Beaver Las Vegas

How I wish that there were more than the 24 trees in the glen
When you see those stumps, you can bet your sweet rump that you'll
know just where I've been
Oh, there's sycamore, oak tree, sweetgum and pear, all just a-waitin',
the devil they care
And I'm just a devil with choppers to spare
Beaver Las Vegas
Beaver Las Vegas

Beaver Las Vegas, with neon flashin'
One-armed beaver crashin', all those hopes down the drain
Beaver Las Vegas, turnin' day into nighttime, turnin' nighttime into day
When you've seen it once, you'll never be the same again.

I'm gonna keep on the run
I'm gonna have me some fun
If it costs me my very last dime
If I wind up broke up well
I'll always remember that I had a dam good time
Lady beaver please let the dice stay hot
I'm gonna give it everything I've got
Let me shout beaver with every shot
Beaver Las Vegas, Beaver Las Vegas,
Beaver, Beaver Las Vegas
