Lyrics The Mountain Goats

The Mountain Goats

Coco-Yam Song

A neighboring clan went on the attack

And stole all the giant coco-yams from the barn out back

I will make them pay for taking my yams away

I carved out little figurines of thieves

Burned a palmful of red dust from the medicine bag

Broke a kola nut in half, i hate half of it myself

Sat back and watched the evening drag

I will make them regret that they haven't brought my yams

back yet
