Lyrics

Intro

Mm-hmm

Mm-hmm

Ladies and gentlemen

Gather round the flower patch

Got a story bout a bug with a most unusual appetite

Verse 1

Down in the jungle where the petals unfold

Lived a pink little predator nobody told

Folded her arms like a flower at court

Waiting for some hungry critter to get caught

Now boys came a-cruisin with their wings all a-flutter

Thinkin they done found the sweetest thing in the butter

She'd sway in the sunlight and give em a wink

Little did they know what she was thinkin

Pre-Chorus

Oh she sways

She sways like she's got a dance degree

Oh she plays

She plays a game of hide and eat

Chorus

She's a disco dancin orchid mantis

Got her petals cut just right

She'll wiggle and she'll wobble

Till her dinner's in her sight

Come dance with me sugar

Come shake it on the floor

You'll be my last bite baby

You won't be coming back for more

Post-Chorus

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Come dance with me

Ooh-ooh-ooh

That's the last dance you'll see

Verse 2

Now Hubert the moth was the shy kind of guy

Saw that pink flower and he heaved a big sigh

Said honey you're the prettiest thing I have seen

And she did a little shimmy like a beauty queen

He flew on down thinkin romance was in bloom

She served him a side-eye and a terrible zoom

He never got to kiss her or say his goodbyes

Just a crunch and a swallow and a happy mantis sigh

Pre-Chorus

Oh she sways

She sways like she's the queen of the bee

Oh she plays

She plays a game of hide and eat

Chorus

She's a disco dancin orchid mantis

Got her petals cut just right

She'll wiggle and she'll wobble

Till her dinner's in her sight

Come dance with me sugar

Come shake it on the floor

You'll be my last bite baby

You won't be coming back for more

Post-Chorus

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Come dance with me

Ooh-ooh-ooh

That's the last dance you'll see

Bridge

Now you might think that's a terrible trick

Yet she's just followin nature's little click

She don't write love letters

She don't send no flowers

She just dances pretty

And devours

Chorus

She's a disco dancin orchid mantis

Got her petals cut just right

She'll wiggle and she'll wobble

Till her dinner's in her sight

Come dance with me sugar

Come shake it on the floor

You'll be my last bite baby

You won't be coming back for more

Post-Chorus

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Come dance with me

Ooh-ooh-ooh

That's the last dance you'll see

Ooh-ooh-ooh

One more spin

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Then the meal begins

Outro

Mm-hmm

Mm-hmm

So if you see a pink flower dancin in the weed

Best keep your distance

That's a lunch you really don't need

Mm-hmm

That's a lunch you really don't need

Mm
