The night is dim and dark you see
The grasshopper and the scorpion side by side
They sit and wait for one, lives are certain to be claimed.
Appearances are not as they seem
The scorpion thing does sting. oh yes
But the grasshopper hops so jolly high!
Watch as it goes straight to the sky!
Make a choice and turn the key
one you will find swimmingly wonderful
The onther will blow your mind!
Come, come give me your decision for the time is nigh
When I'll choose for you, there is no need to cry
but when you find this ordeal is over it won't be quick you see
there might be sparks and flashes of red and white
then a black should fill your eyes!
Please do make your choice my dear for my patience is wearing thin
the dirt on your dress and the blood on your chin
do not sway my eyes!
Make your choice my dear, my love
the wrong one and people will die.
