Barrels! Barrels!

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.
