ONE POT POSSUM

about

ONE POT POSSUM highlights the introduced predators that are causing harm to New Zealand's native flora and fauna, cleverly disguised as a simple counting song. It's a series of recipes for ways to cook up the pests and turn them into lunch

lyrics

One pot possum
You get a little possum
And you put it in a pot
One pot possum

Two rat rissoles
You catch them and you mince them
And you fry them up with parsley
Two rat rissoles

Three stoat toasties
You slap them in a sandwich
And you make a toastie pie
Three stoat toasties

CHORUS:
You call them pests
We call them breakfast
You call them vermin
We call them lunch
We must defend our flora and fauna
So cook up those bad guys and let’s have a munch

Four mouse mousses
You whip them up with chocolate
And you stick them in the fridge
Four mouse mousses

Five fried ferrets
You chop them up real finely
And you fry them up with onion
Five fried ferrets

Six wasp weetbix
You dry them and you grind them
And you sprinkle them on top
Six wasp weetbix

CHORUS:

Seven cat custard (Feral cat custard)
You stir it till it thickens
And you pour it in a jug
Seven cat custard

Eight deer doughnuts
You knead them and you roll them
With a hole in the middle
Eight deer doughnuts

Nine whizzed weasels
You chuck them in the blender
And you make a weasel smoothie
Nine whizzed weasels

CHORUS:

Ten roast rabbits
You trap the little bunnies
Then you roast them till they’re done

Well Done!!!
