lyrics

He's got a face like a duck, but a beaver's tail
Some call him an evolution FAIL
He's kind of fuzzy, but he lays eggs
He's got webbed feet on his legs

He's got a body like a beaver and a face like a duck
Some call him funny, but he don't give a fuck
He'll stick his venom in all of us
So don't mess around with a platypus

With venomous spurs and a big mean streak
He'll kick your ass with his duck-like beak
He don't do well in captivity
He's waiting in his burrow for some platypussy

He's got a body like a beaver and a face like a duck
Some call him funny, but he don't give a fuck
He'll stick his venom in all of us
So don't mess around with a platypus

He's a carnivore moving in for the kill
His mouth is hidden underneath his bill
He's got one hole, it's called a cloaca
He's more fun than smoking on a beach in Jamaica

Don't spread this around, but I heard there's a rumor
That the platypus is proof of divine sense of humor
Some call him God's little joke
But he's a badass mammal who comes from a yolk.

He's got a body like a beaver and a face like a duck
Some call him funny, but he don't give a fuck
He'll stick his venom in all of us
So don't mess around with a platypus
