I was walkin' in the wholesale
flower district that day
And I passed by this place
Where this old chinese man
Ya see sometimes sells me
Weird and exotic cuttings
'Cause he knows
Well you see
That strange plants
are my hobby
He didn't have anything
unusual there that day
So I was just about to
ya know walk on by
When suddenly
And without warning
There was this
It got very dark
And there was this strange
humming sound
Like something from
another world
And when the light came back
This weird plant was just
sittin' there
Just you know
Stuck in among the zinnias
I coulda sworn it hadn't
been there before
But the old chinese man
sold it to me anyways
for a dollar ninety-five
