Ballad of the Fire Swamp

 
O give me a home where nobody will roam
Where the Count and his soldiers won’t stray
Where a sudden Flame Spurt leaves them crispy and hurt
And the skies smell of campfire all day

Home, home in the swamp
Where the Lightning Sands grip at their knees
Where the R.O.U.S. is our welcome house guest
And the skies smell of campfire all day

O give me a house with a giant guard mouse
Where the Terrors keep burglars at bay
Where seldom is heard an annoying loud bird
And the skies smell of campfire all day

Home, home in the swamp
Where our enemies get what is due
But its secrets we've learned, so we'll never get burned
And the skies smell of campfire all day

Home, home in the swamp
You and me in our sweet summer home
Lovely trees up above, we've been saved by True Love
And the skies smell of campfire all day
