Madagascar

I served a mission in Madagascar You can’t get there with any car By plane it’s at least a three-day trip And much much much much more by ship When we finally deplaned We wondered if we were still sane Cuz vazahas get some dirty looks And ox feet hung on rusty hooks Oh Madagascar You’ll always be far Though close to my heart Of me you’ll always be a part Oh Madagascar Nonstop rain pounded the concrete Then cars floated gaily down the street The people gave us ample food To refuse it would have been rude But to partake guaranteed a sickness I’m a solemn, participatory witness You poop and barf until you can’t again They call that the fabled double dragon Oh Madagascar You’ll always be far Though close to my heart Of me you’ll always be a part I preached a gospel I no longer believe Still, it pained me most to leave A country in which I loved and grew The most beautiful country I ever knew Oh Madagascar You’ll always be far Though close to my heart Of me you’ll always be a part Oh Madagascar Oh Madagascar
