This one is begging to be re-recorded. I sang this melody to Jade when she was little, then took it to another level. This was done in the house in Brisbane CA, upstairs from Cove Studios.

lyrics

DANCING WITH THE POSSUMS
Music & Lyrics copyright 1990 by Johnny J Blair. Published by Word2Soul BMI.

Dancing with the possums, dancing with the possums
It’s the latest and it’s cool
To dance with a marsupi-al
Dancing with the possums, dancing with the possums
Being hip is being slow
Down at the opossum show

When the moon is shining down
You will find them rousted
See the ladies hanging ‘round
Admiring their pouches
All the boys make quite a sound
So no one thinks they’re mouses
(“Darling you look ravishingly pale”
“Oh ah thank you…”)

Dancing with the possums, man it’s really awesome
It’s the latest and it’s cool
To dance with a marsupi-al
Dancing with the possums, dancing with the possums
Being hip is being slow
Down at the opossum show

“Good evening, and welcome to Club Copa Opossum. I’m your host, Prez Prez Possom. Tonight’s performance features Xavier Xaraguaya and His Play Dead Combo. Swing it boys…”

Dancing with the possums, dancing with the possums
You can make a happy sound
If you tango upside down
Dancing with the possums, dancing with the possums
If you want to make the grade
Do the Possum Promenade

Ohohohohpossum

Dancing with the possums, you can really blossom
Alleman left and dosey do
At the possom rodeo
Dancing with the possums, you can’t really stop ‘em
They don’t leave much of a trail
They just like to twist…their…tails

“Yeah it’s a lot easier than dancing with porcupines…”
“Wanna go hang out somewhere else now?”
