Lyrics
Mama had a epidural
Hoping I would be a girl
The night was black, the sky was booming
Darker clouds were surely looming
I heard screaming, doctor shouts
And baby then I came out
And here I am
Found my way down the street
Chicken hawks filled with meat
The man was big, the gun was loaded
He had cash, but never showed it
I heard screamin', bleeding throat
And baby I got on that boat
And here I am
Now I'm up here in the trees
Shaking off the bugs and fleas
The days are long, the sun is beatin'
Each day i don't die is cheating
Send me some lovin'
Send me some lovin'
Send it now
Send it by giraffe, or jungle telegraph
Send it by giraffe, or jungle telegraph
Or jungle telegraph
Jungle telegraph...

Favourite parts
The music on this song is just amazing. It's so different. I love the percussion on the song. Only eels could have made this song.
I really like the whole story of this song too. It's a funny little tale.
