about

On the real: opossums don't swing by their tails after adolescence, and they're not really blind. And they're pretty darned cute, if we're being fully transparent. They're fur is soft as well. Basically, this song is a lie.

lyrics

You always say we’ve got rat tails
We know you think that they’re gross
But we’re here to give the possum perspective
They’re the things we dig the most

As far as sight goes, we got shortchanged
To us, the whole world is a blur
We’re not cute like kittens or puppies
You wouldn’t want to pet our fur*

We can’t help but play possum
If you scare us, we kinda pass out
We’ve got beady eyes, sharp, ugly fangs
Weird claws and a little pink snout

We get it, we’re not super handsome
But our lives are super laid back
Hanging and climbing with our strong grippy tails
We wander the night hunting snacks

We’re just hanging around
(Swinging and climbing around)
We’re just hanging around
(Swinging and climbing around)
We’re just hanging around
(Swinging and climbing around)
We’re just hanging–
We’re just hanging around
