Lyrics:
Watch out… carefully… 

Got a coop with hens in a row?
Check it well, high and low.
If a mythical creature creeps in,
It could get dangerous, 
more than it has ever been.

A basilisk, I must warn you so,
A monster that can blend and flow.

Spot an egg where it doesn’t belong?
By the rooster, is it laid, something wrong?
Beware when it starts to hatch,
What comes out will be quite a match.

Basiliscus attack
On the chicken Barack
Feathers flutter in a frantic cluster,
Chickens flee, it's a disaster.

A mythical being, wise and keen,
Brutal and clever, always been.
Half dragon, half rooster, it’s no joke,
With a hefty dose of ego stroke.

The basilisk, that nasty beast,
Bites before you see, not in the least.
It can spew flames, so don't be a fool,
Keep that garden hose cool.

Basiliscus attack
On the chicken barack,
Feathers flutter so dramatic,
Chickens flee, it's quite gothic.

If the little one flutters your way,
Keep calm, don’t sway,
In a flash, without a delay,
Show him his reflection, I say.

With a selfie, show him the view,
It works like magic, through and through.
No matter what phone you choose,
Just don’t let him have a snooze!

Come on, putt, putt, putt,
Look here, into the cellular camera's rut,
Ah, lovely, a handsome little guy like you,
Magic eyes, fancy wings and big green butt .

You’re quite vain, it’s plain,
We’ll comb your crest, no refrain,
From your rooster comb, mister vain.

Basiliscus attack
On the chicken barack
Feathers flutter wild around,
Chickens flee, can’t be found.
Anymore 

Feathers flutter in a frantic spin,
Chickens flee, it's quite grim.

With an evil stare, the basilisk winks,
He’s got quite a bag of tricks,
What’s next? That stinks?

The heraldic beast of Basel,
Likes no fuss, no hassle,
Once it's out in the open,
It's fiercely outspoken.

Can anyone tame this creature,
Else communication becomes a feature.

In Basel, the basilisk’s fame,
Though banished, it’s still in the game,
With a lively, phenomenal spark,
You’ll find it in every nook and park.

Instead of banning, it’s now on the flags,
And on many crests, and friend of drags,
They couldn’t catch it, a fact so bleak,
So it adorns heraldic, so to speak.

Who has such a crazy critter,
As a heraldic figure, cheeky and bitter?
Well, it’s us, no denyin’,
Basel folks, without any cryin’.

Just watch, it’ll run across the bridge,
There, the lively basilisk, a smidge.
Am I seeing right or am I hexed?
He wants to scare, but folks are vexed.

Basilisk alarm,
Still has its charm,
Feathers flutter in a frantic spin,
A basilisk? Well, let’s grin!
