Συνεχίζοντας ερπετοπρεπώς, ακούμε το [περίπου] ομώνυμο τραγούδι από το Big Lizard In My Backyard [1985], δισκογραφικό ντεμπούτο των punk rockers από τη Φιλαδέλφεια.
Moving on serpent-wise, we hear the [proximate] title song from Philadelphia punk rockers’ debut album [Big Lizard In My Backyard – 1989].

Big lizard in my backyard
Can’t afford to feed him anymore
Big lizard in my backyard
Bustin’ down my neighbor’s door
I bought a big lizard, only a dollar-fifty
Well, that’s pretty neat, yeah, it’s fuckin’ nifty
But I just can’t afford to feed it
And you should see the way it shits
I’ve got a big lizard in my backyard
Can’t afford to feed it anymore
Big lizard in my backyard
Bustin’ down my neighbor’s door
I was knocked outta bed
Late last night
I was woken up by the sound of dynamite
I ran downstairs to find an army man
He says “we gotta blow up those things we don’t understand!”
There’s no more big lizard in my backyard
I won’t have to feed him anymore
No more lizard in my backyard
They shipped his ass to El Salvador!

Cool song.
I am surprised by the short length. It seems they went back to the 60’s…or perhaps it’s more like the Ramones, lots of short songs in a 20 minute set?
