Yeah, I had a brief professional music career. Maybe you’ve heard of my band? The Possums? No?
Well, I’ll tell you our story then!
Playing The Possums Lyrics
goin’ outta my mind
tired of the forest
tired of my kind
so I moved on down to Nashville
and I started a band
made a lot of money
got a lot of fans
we’re The Possums
and we’re awesome
got no problems
cause every radio station
in the country
is playing The Possums
cut a forty-five record
went straight to number one
overnight sensation
like a bullet from a gun
rode around in limos
and the girls were wild
snorted lots of cocaine
in the possum style
and we’re awesome
we got no problems
cause every radio station
in the country
is playing The Possums
Oh Oh Oh
Possums
Oh Oh Oh
we’re awesome
we got carried away
with all the drugs and the pay
green jelly beans
and groupies night and day
lost all our money
and I had to go home
it was a sad day in the forest
but I did it on my own
we were The Possums
and we were awesome
we had no problems
cause every radio station
in the country
was playing The Possums
yeah yeah yeah

Its a actually a very good song! Not that i am surprised knowing what i know. Even the Possums got the groupies and the drugs! -coolparadiso
I really enjoyed this! What fun! -jsini
You’ll have your money back, put this album out and you’ll be O’Billionares. -unkept
That rockstar lifestyle can be quite the downfall. First they lure you in with green jelly beans, then it’s cocaine and groupies and BOOM! You’re broke! I can see you still have your gift for music and can really tickle those ivories. Maybe a comeback tour? The “The Possums WE’RE NOT DEAD YET Tour”!!! -vivalarayna
Rock’n’roll!!! It’s hard to be a superstar. -leka
Someone should have warned you about the green jelly beans. They’ll ruin you. The Possums must have been a great time! Great rockin’ track here! -metalfoot
You’re playin’ that thar guitar like it was yer mama. The “Oh Oh Oh Possum” bit was my favorite section. -bradbrubaker

Yeah! What a life you’ve led. Totally love your classic rock ‘n’ roll stylings. -cleanshoes
Well, gosh, Mr. Marsupial, this is just a delight to hear. I don’t doubt that with this record in play you’ll return to your number one spot with a few learned lessons from last time. Nice work! -heidiserwer
