about

This song has absolutely no historical or educational value. One day I just wondered what would happen if a bug used a banana slug as a taxi in a high stress situation and I told Roxanne about it and this is what happened! We had to sing it about 7 times before we could do it without laughing!

lyrics

Banana slug taxi
Is goin real slow
Banana slug taxi
Has no windows
If you want a ride
That's slimy and moist
Banana slug taxi
Should be your first choice

Well old Mr. Spittlebug
Planned a jewel heist
He got all the tools
And chose a disguise
Banana slug taxi
Was his getaway plan
He couldn't afford
A creepy black van

Banana slug taxi
Left a clear shiny trail
Which might lead you to think
That this wouldn't end well
But the flea police
Were down on their luck
The more they pursued them
The more they got Stuck!!!

The spittlebug foamed
In bedazzled delight
As banana slug taxi
Slimed off into the night

banana slug taxi
Although he had tried
Just wasn't cut out
To be Bonnie or Clyde
Could his business survive?
The answer was...nope.
Went back to his old job
Sealing envelopes

about

Bicycle Face Seattle, Washington

Back when bicycles were first invented, doctors told women that if they raced on their bicycles, their face would get stuck in a strained-looking, bulgy-eyed mess. Thankfully, we have disproved this theory, and our bicycle faces are all smiles!
Bicycle Face is a musical project by Lichen & Evan. We believe that it's important to teach history so that children know that they can change the future!
