COVID 2 Live animal collection team Wuhan Market

Hey look friend another one of those dopey Pangolins
Come on pick him up, stick him in the back of the truck too
He'll still make someone a nice Pangolin stew
On the markets of Wuhan

Boss - what about the berries -you pick 'em you carry 'em too Terry

In the bustling streets of Wuhan:
Man its hot here, I hardly move for people-
Hey where do you want these crates of Pangolin?
Just stack them up over there next to the snakes
And the lizards, mind don't make mistakes

Wuhan, Wuhan, they're selling everything here
From live bats in cages to tigers from stones ages
Anything to increase your life span
Wuhan, Wuhan in the markets of Wuhan
You can buy what ever will make you hard, soft boil a live chick
In vat of bubbling oil
There's an old woman chasing chickens with a carving knife
There's a little boy laughing poking a monkey crying for his life
There are rattle snakes chattering, old hogs gaffawing
In Wuhan, where you can spend a day shopping with your wife
Buy it live, buy it fresh, just out from the forests, don't mind the pest
You want the best you can.. get? Then you come to the markets of Wuhan
