Rockin’ in the Brambles

Lyrics: Rockin’ in the Brambles

Well, I was walkin’ home late last night, Took the shortcut by the pine, Moon was hangin’ big and bright, And the crickets kept the time. Then I heard that thumpin’ beat, Comin’ from the trees, Made my little heart jump twice, And buckled both my knees! I crept up slow to a moonlit place, Where the shadows danced around, Three little fairies in a clearin’ there Were raisin’ up a sound. One had a guitar, shinin’ bright, One slapped bass so mean, One beat drums with acorn sticks, Best band I ever seen! They were rockin’ in the brambles, Boppin’ by the creek, Wings all shakin’ to a backwoods beat. Three little fairies in their fifties clothes, Poodle skirts, curls, and pointed toes. They played so hot, they lit the night, Rockin’ that fairy rockabilly right! The guitar fairy had a red scarf tied And a sparkle in her eye, She bent them strings till the owl woke up And hollered from the sky. The bass girl bounced on a mushroom cap, With her blue jeans rolled up tight, And the drummer grinned with lipstick on, Keepin’ thunder through the night! They were rockin’ in the brambles, Boppin’ by the creek, Wings all shakin’ to a backwoods beat. Three little fairies in their fifties clothes, Poodle skirts, curls, and pointed toes. They played so hot, they lit the night, Rockin’ that fairy rockabilly right! Twang guitar! Slap that bass! Drums go boom-boom, keep that pace! Round the stump and through the trees, Everybody shake like autumn leaves! Next day I told my girlfriends all, They laughed till they turned red, Said, “Girl, you dreamed that whole wild thing, Go get yourself to bed.” So I brought ’em down at half past ten, Past the fence and through the pine, Then that slap bass started up, And they all said, “Mercy, mine!” They were rockin’ in the brambles, Boppin’ by the creek, Wings all shakin’ to a backwoods beat. Three little fairies in their fifties clothes, Poodle skirts, curls, and pointed toes. They played so hot, they lit the night, Rockin’ that fairy rockabilly right! Now Betty danced with a firefly, Sue clapped hands with me, June kicked off her Sunday shoes And hollered, “Set me free!” The fairies winked and played it fast, Faster than before, Till every girl in town was beggin’, “Play that magic one more!” They were rockin’ in the brambles, Boppin’ by the creek, Wings all shakin’ to a backwoods beat. Three little fairies in their fifties clothes, Poodle skirts, curls, and pointed toes. They played so hot, they lit the night, Rockin’ that fairy rockabilly right! So take the shortcut after dark, When the moon is big and white, You might hear that fairy band Rockin’ through the night. Guitar, bass, and a tiny drum, Deep among the trees, Three little fairies playin’ rockabilly Just for girls like me!
