    In shell
    Drawing pictures
    Of fence tops
    With him on top
    Lemon yellow sun
    Eyestalks raised in a V
    The dead lay in pools of pale blue below

    Scientists tried to give attention
    To the fact that his shell turned left
    Snail Jeremy the Wicked
    Ruled his world, but

    Jeremy didn’t get laid today
    Jeremy didn’t get laid today

    Clearly I remember
    Pickin’ on the boy
    Seemed a harmless little mollusc
    Oh, but we unleashed a hedgehog
    Gnashed his radula
    Shot darts at mantles
    How could I forget
    He hit me with a surprise bump
    My shell left hurtin’
    Oh, tipped right over
    Just like the day
    Like the day I heard

    Scientists tried to give affection
    But the boy was something the others wouldn’t mate
    Snail Jeremy the Wicked
    Ruled his world

    Jeremy didn’t get laid today
    Jeremy didn’t get laid today
    Jeremy didn’t get laid today

    Try to forget this… (try to forget this)
    Try to erase this… (try to erase this)
    From the postdoc paper

    Jeremy didn’t get laid today
    Jeremy didn’t get laid today
