about

The first troll I ever caught!

lyrics

I think of things that you don't see
I think of things that could never be
I do it for my own amusement

As a boy I'd revel in
The world, well, that could never've been
Oh no, did I say as a boy?

I'd push aside the bicycle
My mother, she'd say, Michael
I love you, but boy you're strange

She'd joke and say
You better change your last name

I went down to the riverbed
Past the trees, but before the bridge
I found the troll sleeping where he lay

I string him up and I'll take the prize
I hear him beg, but don't compromise
Oh no, he won't be boilin' me!

He'd scowl and say
Boy, you better change your last name

She'd joke and say
What any mother might say
But she never asked me to change
Just said boy you're strange
