This song is about a failed treasure quest that ends with the crew being gruesomely devoured by alligators off the shore of Louisiana.
The song features Mathias “Vreth” Lillmåns as guest vocalist, and Patty Gurdy playing the hurdy-gurdy.
[Chorus]
Chomp, chomp
Chomp, chomp
[Verse 1]
Sailing out of Mexico heading up to New Orleans
Heard about the biggest treasure horde outside the Caribbean
One stormy night in Caillou Bay, we smashed into the reef
A flash of claws, a crash of jaws, a load of big white teeth
[Pre-Chorus]
If you see an alligator
In your refrigerator
You better say, "See ya later"
Or you might end up dead
They say you should never smile
Right at a crocodile
He'll drag you down into the deep
And eat your fucking head, yeah
[Chorus]
Chomp, chomp
Chomp, chomp
[Post-Chorus]
Chomp, chomp, chomp
[Verse 2]
Our captain was the first to go, he got ripped into shreds
Still screaming as the alligator swallowed down his legs
One by one the crew all died in several nasty ways
The vision of that massacre still haunts me to this day
[Pre-Chorus]
If you find a giant Cayman
You're gonna have a really bad day, man
There's nothing more to say than
"I won't see you in a while"
Not even Russell Crowe
With a giant crossbow
Ain't got a snowball's chance in Hell
To save you from that crocodile, yeah
[Chorus]
Chomp, chomp
Chomp, chomp
[Bridge]
Why oh why did I jump into that swamp?
Mauled to death by alligators
All singing, "Chomp, chomp, chomp"
Time to die on a sub-aquatic romp
Mauled to death by alligators
All singing, "Chomp, chomp, chomp"
[Chorus]
Chomp, chomp
Chomp, chomp
Chomp, chomp
