[Verse 1]
In the swamps, a new day's rising,
A life of farming, no more conniving.
Once a mayor, now a hand,
In murky bogs, on swampy land.
Yeah, today's the day, in this odd role,
Tending crops, a humbler goal.
Gone are dreams of power and scheme,
Now I'm working on a different team.
[Chorus]
(Wake up, wake up) In the bog's embrace,
(Wake up, wake up) Found a different place.
[Verse 2]
From betrayal's shadow, to a farmer's grace,
Lost my mother, a fall from grace.
My wife, a demon, who'd have guessed?
Life's a mess, but doing my best.
[Interlude 1]
(Ah, hmm-hmm) A muddy boot, that's what I'm looking for,
(Wake up, wake up).
[Verse 3]
This swamp's alive with eerie dreams,
Mist and monsters, or so it seems.
Now I greet the morning's haze,
In Gix's Keep, I spend my days.
[Chorus]
(Wake up, wake up) In the bog's new light,
(Wake up, wake up) No more city's plight.
[Spoken Word Interlude]
(Oh, what's this? A letter from the town council?)
"Dear Mayorson, due to an unfortunate clerical error,
Your swamp... is now a designated dragon nesting site. Effective immediately."
(A dragon? In my swamp? You've got to be kidding me!)
[Abrupt Musical Resumption]
(Wake up, wake up) With a dragon's roar,
(Wake up, wake up) Life's never a bore!
[Verse 4]
Who'd have thought, in this twist of fate,
My dad's the mayor, and he's actually great.
Sent through time, a strange affair,
Living with him, in this swampy lair.
[Verse 5]
Hired a smith, as gruff as can be,
"Sing a song?" He grumbled, "Not me."
Swinging his hammer, with a scowl and a glare,
In this boggy keep, he's a quirky pair.
[Outro]
It's a brand new day (Wake up, wake up)
In the swamp's own way (Wake up, wake up)
It's a brand new day (Wake up, wake up)
Life's strange, they say.
