about

Folk culture abounds with stories of a humanoid primate roaming the forests of North America. This creature has many names, such as Sasquatch or Bigfoot, and is the subject of much study and attention by cryptozoologists. This song describes my own experience.

lyrics

BIGFOOT!

One day I went out walking
Up in the Cascade hills
Looking for a respite
From all these urban ills
Thought I was alone
Until I heard a snap
And a heavy breathing
Sent a chill right down my back

Is it Bigfoot?
You know what that means
Is it Bigfoot?
Way up in the evergreens
Is it Big Foot?
He’s hairy and he’s mean, but
He’s the one that we've been looking for
Oh, that’s Bigfoot!

I heard he was a legend
From the natives of this land
I heard they saw him walking with
Gigantic swinging hands
I heard they got the video
Authenticated real, and
Plaster casts, size 38
Taken toe to heel!

Is it Bigfoot?
You know what that means
Is it Bigfoot?
Way up in the evergreens
Is it Big Foot?
He’s hairy and he’s mean, but
He’s the one that we've been looking for
Oh, that’s Bigfoot!

Mmm, when the cities have all crumbled
And our culture’s in decline
He’s the one who’s living in the hills
And doing fine...

So let’s call Bigfoot
Let’s call Bigfoot
Mmm...lets call Bigfoot
You know what that means
Let’s call Bigfoot!
Way up in the ancient evergreens
Let's call Bigfoot!
He’s hairy and he’s mean, but
He’s the one we all been looking for
He’s a man with just a little more
Oh, that’s Bigfoot!
Oh, that’s Bigfoot!
Oh, that’s Bigfoot!
