lyrics
The Book of Tiki (Tony Marsico 2023)
Performed by Ren Clark and the Severed Heads
They’re bangin’ on the drum, for some island fun
The natives are losing their heads
They’re stirring up the pot, and gettin’ it hot
And serving it up to the dead
They do the dead man’s dance, caught in a trance
As the party gets under way
Tonight they feast, on wildebeest, and guests who can’t get away
I read it in the book, The Book of Tiki
I ain’t ever seen a party, get so freaky
I read it in the book, The Book of Tiki
I ain’t ever seen a party, get so freaky
Watch it now!
Now check this,
The party is a hoppin’ down in Popua New Guinea
They drink blood from a tiki mug, it goes down easy
All the girls look nervous, as they do the Watusi
It’s a taste of what’s for dinner, and they’re lookin’ real juicy
They’re getting drunk with the animals, those crazy cannibals
Hungry for a midnight treat
They really get a thrill, when they get their fill
And get a bite of some yummy meat
I read it in the book, The Book of Tiki
I ain’t ever seen a party, get so freaky
I read it in the book, The Book of Tiki
I ain’t ever seen a party, get so freaky
Watch it now! Whoa! C’mon! Give it to me!
(Repeat Chorus)
I read it in the book, The Book of Tiki
I ain’t ever seen a party, get so freaky
I read it in the book, Sven’s book of Tiki
I ain’t ever seen a party, get so freaky
(Chants, Screams…)
