Cabinet Of Curios

Come let me show you round my cabinet of curios
The wonders of the natural world revealed before your eyes

Spectacular obscurities collected by adventurers
From Timbuktu to Borneo revealed before your eyes

This pickled squid is 12 foot long, and killed a man when it was caught
This chicken beak has seven teeth, this heart is open wide

And here we have a rarity the hoof-print of a unicorn
This hummingbird is so tiny, no bigger than a bee

These babies in formaldehyde show deformities of every kind
This one was born with a second head and this one with a tail

And a wizard's wand and a dodos claw, a Schubert song and an ancient book of lore
This slide holds a tiny slice of Albert Einstein's brain

3 shrunken heads with the lips sewn up, and this one wears a French moustache
These are toenail clippings from the Marquis de Sade

And this rock fell from outer space, and landed in a cemetery
This medieval scroll contains prophecies of doom

The headstone a genius, And Paganini's fingertips
Vincent van Gogh's missing ear, and a curse from a pharaoh's tomb

And a wizard's wand and a dodos claw, a Schubert song and an ancient book of lore
This slide holds a tiny slice of Albert Einstein's brain

So, come and let me show you round my cabinet of curios
The wonders of the natural world revealed before your eyes

Spectacular obscurities collected by adventurers
From Timbuktu to Borneo revealed before your eyes
