Lyrics

TARANCHULA:
Mired on the moor!
Swamped in the sludge!
Dying on the floor!
Drown in the trudge!

Drown in the Trudgemank!

Drown in the Trudgemank!

PEACEY P: {talking} Hello? What? Who? Taranckula? Naww, fool. Wait, how much? Dang!

{rapping} Peacey P back on the mic again
Getting paid to rhyme with Scandinavians
Trudging through the mank so it's easy to find me
Mixing rap and heavy metal, like the early nineties.

{talking} '91 or '93. Anthrax and P.E.

I got the Crample-O style and the Crample-O flow
Got these metal-heads all up in my "STU G.O."
And get your product phat for ya

TARANCHULA:
Get your product phat!!

BOTH:
AHHHHHHH!

PEACEY P:
I'll say it once again, just in case'd you missed it,
Clean the gravy out your ears cause your head is a biscuit.
Y'all biscuit-heads!

That's what happens when you're down with the trudgemank!

TARANCHULA:
Get your product phat for ya!

PEACEY P:
That's what happens when you're down with the trudgemank!

TARANCHULA:
Get your product phat for ya!

PEACEY P:
That's what happens when you're down with the trudgemank!

TARANCHULA:
Get your product phat for ya!

PEACEY P:
That's what happens when you're down with the

BOTH:

PEACEY P: {talking} Maybe some of y'all fellas can maybe think about taking a shower or somethin' next time before ya come up in here. Stank!
