Atenção Creuseback
Creuseback meu filho vamos lá que vai começa a baixaria

Comer tatu é bom
Que pena que dá dor nas costas
Porque o bicho é baixinho
E é por isso que eu prefiro as cabritas

As cabrita tem seios
Que alimentam os seus descendentes
No mundo animal ixéste muita putaria
Por exemplo, os cachorro
Que come a própria mãe, sua irmã e suas tias
Eles ficam grudados de quatro se amando
Em plena luz do dia

Os animal, tem uns bicho interessante
Imaginem só como é o sexo dos elefante
E os camelos que tem as bolas em cima das costas
E as vaquinhas que por onde passam
Deixam um rastro de bosta

As pombas quando avoam
Por incrível que pareça ficam sobrevoando
Com seu cu amirando em nossas cabeças
Daí vem a rajada de sua bazuca anal
Já tem pomba com mira a laser
O tiro sai sempre fatal

Totalmente beautiful as baleias no oceano
Nadando com graça, fugindo da caça
Dos homens humanos
O homem é corno e cruel
Mata a baleia que não chifra e é fiel

Os animal tem uns bicho interessante
Imaginem só como é o sexo dos elefantes
E os camelos que tem as bolas em cima das costas
E as vaquinhas que por onde passam
Deixam um rastro de bosta

Os animal tem uns bicho interessante
Imaginem o tamanho que é o pintcho de um elefante
E os camelos que tem as bolas em cima das costas

E as vaquinhas que por onde passam
Deixam um rastro de bosta

When pigeons fly, they often hover above us with their butt pointing downward. Suddenly, there's a burst of poop that strikes like an anal cannon. Some pigeons now have laser-targeted pooping abilities and their shots always hit their mark.
