lyrics

A passel of opossums, my family
Going on a stroll to our favorite tree
My name is Jack, Hello! Being a possum is cool!

Pop hears a sound and stops in his tracks
Mom smells something but there’s no turning back
she whispers “Wolf!” Oh no! I know what I gotta do.

I gotta do my awesome possum dance
where I freak and flail and prance
Cuz I know that there’s a chance
It’ll scare that big bully away!

The wolf, he rears his mangy head
He looks old and mean, and underfed
He licks his chops. Oh no! This isn’t doing the trick…

I can’t stop dancing, it’s too late now
Better kick it up a notch but I’m not sure how
So i just pop it and lock it and pop it and lock it
The wolf looks confused!

Because I did my awesome possum dance
where I freak and flail and prance
Cuz I know that there’s a chance
It’ll scare that big bully away!

It’s all part of my awesome possum plan
To do whatever this marsupial can
To keep my awesome possum clan
Safe and sound today

Now this opossum will not play dead
I’d rather face my fears head-on instead
But now I’m out running of breath, and the wolf’s still staring at me….
and then the wolf said:

"uh...there's something terribly wrong with this possum. I think it's gone bad. I've lost my appetite."

I guess it was my awesome possum dance
It put the bad guy in a trance
I’m so glad I took a chance
and scared that big bully away

Everybody do the awesome possum dance
the awesome possum dance
just do that awesome possum dance
And you can be a hero today
