05 HIGHLAND PADDY

10 KINKY BOOTS

Build a bonfire

Blind Mullet Chitlin always claimed this song wasn’t really about some creature crawling out of the mangroves — it was about something far scarier: being hunted by obsession itself. With a stalker dogging his steps from one roadhouse to the next, he turned fear into campfire theatre. The “Swamp Monster” became a stand-in for that clinging shadow, a way to laugh at the danger even as it closed in.

Half acoustic boogie nightmare, half-exorcism, the track rides its chant-like hook (“Icky, Icky Pock Ah…”) like a spell against the dark. It’s Blind Mullet at his most unhinged and theatrical — turning paranoia into Rock’n’Roll ritual, a swamp-gospel stomp that dances on the line between comedy and confession.

lyrics

Out of a swamp
Comes a big monster
Icky, Icky Pock Ah
I never dreamed up this creation
Bad monster of my imagination

It's the Swamp Monster
Da, da, da
It's the Swamp Monster
Da, da, da

It's got me running
It's got me hiding
Think I'll go call the police

Out of a swamp
Comes a big monster
Icky, Icky Pock
Da
Icky, Icky Pock
I never dreamed up this creation
Bad monster of my imagination

It's the Swamp Monster
Da, da, da
It's the Swamp Monster
Da, da, da

It's got me running
It's got me hiding
Think I'll go call Bernice
--------
Bun yippie Bun yippie
Ha, ha, hee
Bun yippie Bun yippie
Ha, ha, hee

Run-away Run Away
Go find a tree
Dig a hole close the door
He'll never get me

She's a five-stage clinger
A real gun slinger

It's the Swamp Monster
Da, da, da
It's the Swamp Monster
Da, da, da
It's got me running
It's got me hiding
Think I'll go call Bernice

Bun yippie Bun yippie
Ha, ha, hee
Bun yippie Bun yippie
Ha, ha, hee

Run-away Run Away
Go find a tree
Dig a hole close the door
He'll never get me

She's a five-stage clinger
A real gun slinger

Bun yippie Bun yippie
Ha, ha, hee
Bun yippie Bun yippie
Ha, ha, hee
Run-away Run Away
Go find a tree
Dig a hole close the door
He'll never get me

She's a five-stage clinger
A real gun slinger
