lyrics

I was walking in the woods one day
i flipped a log wet with rain

You won’t believe what I found
Wrigglin’ there on the ground!
It was a-

Salamander, salamander, salamander, salamander!
Salamander, salamander, salamander, salamander!

The salamander looked up at me
To them I was as big as a tree

Other critters would be scared
But the salamander smiled and stared because

Salamanders, salamanders, salamanders, salamanders!
Salamanders, salamanders, salamanders, salamanders–

Aren't scared of anything!

But some people think that ‘manders are icky
They think they’re gross with skin all sticky!
But they’re not slimy, they’re just wet
If you met one, you’d love it I bet because

They're smiley not slimy!
Salamanders, salamanders, salamanders, salamanders!
They're smiley not slimy!
Salamanders, salamanders, salamanders, salamanders!

One day Judy was riding on her bicycle
Through the parking lot of a hospital

And on the pavement, walking across
A little salamander, it was lost!

And so it looked up with its big goofy grin
And then Judy’s heart it did win

She scooped it up, said “let’s find you a home”
So she did. And with that, I end my tome about

Salamanders, salamanders, salamanders, salamanders!
Salamanders, salamanders, salamanders, salamanders!
Salamanders, salamanders, salamanders, salamanders!
