A Reptilian Sculpture's Ode to O'Dowd ...

I have vision in my eyes three-sixtee.
I can't listen to your lies coz I'm deaf
A reptile, with tail prehensile,
A reptile, who also knows
how to change his pigmentation:
chromatophores, chromatophores! 
Copper, Copper, Copper, Copper, Copper Chameleon
I'm not a toad
I'm not a to-oh-oh-oh-oad.
Lovin' would be easy if your colours were like my dreams
Oxidized green, Oxidized gree-ee-ee-een!
Didn't hear your wicked words every day,
As I said, I lack ears, so I'm deaf
And my love is oviparous.
When I nest, I dig a hole.
When you go, you're gone forever.
You string along a single mom.
Copper, Copper, Copper, Copper, Copper Chameleon
I'm not a toad
I'm not a to-oh-oh-oh-oad.
Lovin' would be easy if your colours were like my dreams
Oxidized green, Oxidized gree-ee-ee-een!
Every day is like survival,
you're my lover, not my wife's hole.
Every day is like survival,
you're my lover, not my wife's hole.

A reptile, with feet didactyl
A reptile, who also knows
how to live aboreal:
up in the trees, up in the trees! 
Copper, Copper, Copper, Copper, Copper Chameleon
I'm not a toad
I'm not a to-oh-oh-oh-oad.
Lovin' would be easy if your colours were like my dreams
Oxidized green, Oxidized gree-ee-ee-een!...
