Lyrics:
I can catch a helpless animal,
Skin it with my bare hands
I wake up muddy
And I go to bed bloody
'Cause I'm a trappin' man
I can brave the nastiest weather (weather!)
Even if it's 80 below (below!)
My pa was an elephant, but that's irrelevant
My ma was an Eskimo
I eat rabbits' heads for breakfast (breakfast!)
With beaver butt on the side (the side!)
My mind's magnificent and my body no different
I'm full of trapper pride!
Yo-ho! Yo-ho! Yo-ho!
Rip their fur, cut their skin with my knife
Yo-ho! Yo-ho! Yo-ho!
One thing's for sure, there's nothing like a trappin' life!
I'm badder than the baddest sailor! (sailor!)
I make love to women 10 feet tall (good lord!)
I've got a chest of wonder and balls of thunder
I can break right through a wall
I love the sound of metal (metal!)
Snapping on an animal's head (ka-chink!)
Sometimes they scamper
Sometimes they whimper
But they always end up dead
(Interlude by Nutter)
I've always wanted to be somebody
Who didn't get pushed around
Now that I'm a trapper,
I'm the meanest guy around
(Frenchy interrupts)
Second meanest!
The blood of a fresh-cut rodent
Is as sweet as brandy wine
And the brain of an antelope
Tastes like cantaloupe
What a yummy life!
Yo-ho! Yo-ho! Yo-ho!
Rip their fur, cut their eyes out with my knife
Yo-ho! Yo-ho! Yo-ho---
[Noon] Oh, Stop!
[Humphrey] That's sick.
[Frenchy] I agree. Nutter, you were singing in the wrong key!
[Nutter] No I wasn't! It was Loutzenheiser. I was singing in Eb minor.
[Frenchy] The song's in F# major!
[Bell] I think they're the same thing. I mean, Eb is the relative minor of F#.
[Frenchy] No, it isn't! The relative minor is 3 half-tones down from the major, not up!
[Noon] No, it's 3 down. Like A is the relative minor of C major.
[Loutzenheiser] But isn't A# in C major?
[Bell] Wait, are you singing Mixolydian scales, or something?
[Frenchy] A# is tonic to C major. It's the 6!
[Humphrey] No it isn't!
[Swan] Well, it'd be like a raised 13th if anything.
[Frenchy] Oh well. You guys're just a bunch of loser diggers anyhow!
[Humphrey] Oh, see! You know we're right!
An amazing music theory lesson
