| Song Lyrics: |
I went to the water
To find me an otter
When I found one
I sat down and taught her
She had something
To teach me, too.
She had somewhere
To lead me through.
I thought I was crazy
Everything got hazy
She spoke with her eyes
Her name was Tracy.
She said something
Really strange.
She said something
I couldn't explain.
**(Chorus:)**
Your luck is bad?
Can't find love?
I know a secret.
Your luck will change
Love will come.
I know a secret:
SAY MONGOOSE
SAY MONGOOSE!
She broke into laughter
As I ran after
Almost caught her
She was faster.
I remember
She sang to me.
I remember
She dove in the sea.
Then she said something
SOMETHING!
Mama like the mongoose
Mongoose takes the cake
Mongoose save baby
From a belly ache.
Mama like the mongoose
Mongoose takes the cake
Mongoose save baby
From the cobra snake.
SAY MONGOOSE!
I started to speak
To call out her name
The surf was pounding
All through my brain.
She was still laughing
As she dove in the sea.
She was still laughing
Laughing at me.
I never did find her
I always walk by here
Sometimes I get lonely
And watch the moon die here.
I sing songs
She taught to me.
I sing songs
She taught to me.
**(Chorus)**
**(Chorus)**
I know a secret.
**(repeat and fade)**
