[Verse 1]
In the overgrowth of the underbrush
Shone a fossil tooth which I must have dropped
Very long ago
Which reminded me how we wound up where we are now
Right through those trees, I'm not insane
That's where we came into this place
And if you squint, if you squint your brain
I'll get my paints and I'll try to paint
[Chorus]
Canajoharie
Canajoharie
Where a front flipper first evolved on the day
When a daring mudskipper dragged itself away
Out of Canajoharie
Canajoharie
Call me sentimental but I want to go back
And commemorate the place with a historical plaque
[Verse 2]
It's as if a fin, reaching from the swamp
Grabbed me by my arm, tried to pull me in
But my arm was strong
And the fin was an inaccurately reconstructed fake
In the overgrowth of the underbrush
Shone a fossil tooth which I must have dropped
Very long ago
Which reminded me how we wound up where we are now
Right through those trees, I'm not insane
That's where we came into this place
And if you squint, if you squint your brain
I'll get my paints and I'll try to paint
[Chorus]
Canajoharie
Canajoharie
Where a front flipper first evolved on the day
When a daring mudskipper dragged itself away
Out of Canajoharie
Canajoharie
Call me sentimental but I want to go back
And commemorate the place with a historical plaque
[Verse 2]
It's as if a fin, reaching from the swamp
Grabbed me by my arm, tried to pull me in
But my arm was strong
And the fin was an inaccurately reconstructed fake
