The Lyrics

Here in Michigan, there is a huge debate going on between hunters surrounding the use of bait while hunting deer (carrots, sugar beets, etc.) . The State is thinking of rescinding the current ban on baiting due to pressure from pro baiting user groups. This pressure comes in light of the fact that baiting is banned because it is proven to be a vector is the transmission of disease. There is flagrant abuse of the laws by many. Here's a little ditty I composed which portrays the bait debate from the pro-baiter's side. Enjoy.
The Carrot Song

(to: “Everything's coming up roses”)

I had a dream, a dream about you, bambi.
It's gonna come true, bambi.
They think that we're through, but bambi,

You'll--taste--swell! You'll taste great!
Gonna have some deer on my plate!
Hunt'n here, hunt'n now,
Hunters; everyone’s putting out carrots! (carrots)

Clear the weeds! Clear a track!
Now just sit back on your butt and re-lax.
Take your gun. Take your bow.
Hunters; everyone’s putting out carrots! (carrots)

Your head’s spinning. Standing so close is a deer!
Feeder’s spinning! That two gallons is just the beginning!
Certain luck! Day and night!
You got nothing but deer in your sights!
You'll excel. Deer just ate.
I can tell. Just use bait.
That-little-deer-that's-chomp’n-there-is-through!
Hunters; everyone’s putting out carrots, for me and for you

You can do it, there’s no longer a ban!
We can do it, the NRC just saw to it!
Certain luck! Day and night!
You got nothing but deer in your sights!
Deer can smell. Deer can see
What’s for sure, they must eat!
And-that-little-deer-that's-chomp’n-there-is-through!
Hunters; everyone’s-putting-out-carrots-and-sugar-beets!
Everyone’s-putting-out-shelled-corn-and-pumpkin-seeds!
Everyone’s-putting-out-way-more-than-they-needs!
Everyone’s-putting-out-carrots---for--me--and--for--you!

Carrots!?! Do these hunters also catch wascally wabbits? (I clicked on your name and saw that this is your first submission since Jan, 2004. This must be an Amiright record for longest gap between parodys) 555 for this one.
