LYRICS
Who wants to be the agitator
Of a wasp or an alligator
Not long to ponder
I think it’s best
Better not stir the hornets’ nest
Watch the silly monkey
Mouse around with the angry
What a silly monkey
To horse around…
With tolerancey
Who wants to be the one to rile
A viper or a crocodile
No time to wonder
I think it’s best
Better not stir the hornets’ nest
(chorus)
Who wants to be the one to say “I am!”
When asked the task
“Who’ll put their head in the mouth of this lion?”
No time to squander
I think it’s best
Better not stir the hornets’ nest
(chorus)
[Poke the bear… if you dare]
