out here on the prairie
i have been so lonely
my husband disappeared
15 years ago
and when you're an armadillo
it's a hard pill to swallow
and one day i heard, "hello"
and i looked around
and i heard, "no you gotta look down"

he looked just like my husband
but he was very tiny
the desert sun was shining down
his back was kind of shiny
but when he spoke again i knew
that he was not my husband
i ask him what his name was
and his friends joined him to sing

they said we're armadillidiidae
armadillidiidae
armadillidiidae
better known colloquially
as pill bugs
armadillidiidae
and we're sorry about your husband
but sometimes it helps to sing
