Would it be a good idea to buy property in the Everglades?

Check the elevations against anticipated rise in sea level due to global warming and storm surges? You might want pontoons under your ol housetrailer.

i could picture you as the american crocodile dundee

By the way, alligators sound just like real big bull frogs.

and taste just like chicken

You might be able to get a great deal on some swampland in Louisiana. It's called New Orleans.

Florida

Florida, Florida, the redneck riviera
Florida, Florida, there's no more pathetic place in America
yes a man must make unpopular decisions, surely from time to time
and a man can only stand what a man can stand
it's a wobbly volatile line

Florida, Florida, the water table is fucked
Florida, Florida, there's no more perfect place to give it all up
a man must take his life in his own hands
hit those nails on the head
and i respect a man who goes to where he wants to be
even if he wants to be dead

Florida, Florida, its a tropical paradise
Florida, Florida, theres no more perfect place to retire from life

I always thought it tasted a bit like lizzerd, dj.

which, funnily enough, tastes like chicken

Everglades by Treat Her Right

He was a nice young man from Jacksonville
Yes, a nice young man, not the kind to kill
But a jealous fight and a flashing blade
Sent him on the run through the Everglades

Now he's runnin' like a dog
Runnin' like a dog
Runnin' like a dog
He's just runnin' like a dog through the Everglades

Well they chased him in, and they came back out
They said "He'll die, there ain't no doubt.
An eye for an eye, that's a debt that's paid,
Man can't live in the Everglades!"

He's just runnin' like a dog
Runnin' like a dog
Runnin' like a dog
He's just runnin' like a dog through the Everglades

Well, a man can run, and never be found
Have no fear from the baying of the hounds
Better keep movin' and don't stand still,
If the skeeters don't get you then the gators will

Well the years went by and his girl was wed
And his family gave him up for dead
But now and then, the injuns would say
"Seen him runnin' through the Everglades"

He's just runnin' like a dog
Runnin' like a dog
Runnin' like a dog
He's just runnin like a dog through the Everglades

Awooooo

Well he never heard the news on the radio
He was deep in the 'glades, so he'll never know
His running and hiding didn't make much sense
Because the judge ruled it was self-defense

Still he's just runnin' like a dog
Runnin' like a dog
Runnin' like a dog
He's just runnin' ...

Yeah, you all laugh, but Phoenix told me she could sell me a good-sized piece of land down there...cheap!

Geez, soz, I thought there was something in that song about

Slippin' through the bog like a slimey frog.

Me too!!!

I haven't found that version yet, but thanks for validating my vague recollection, I thought I just had it wrong.

Rollin through the trees like a ---- breeze too I think.

(We sang this with great gusto in 6th grade or so.)
