lyrics

At night and in the early morning
The desert is shaken
Stores and trailers are ransacked and violently wrecked
There's no money taken
It goes on for several hours ‘til the hottest part of the day
Then the dunes are suddenly silent, after we've fallen victims of prey

Whoa-oo-whoah, yeah-a-ah

We're only appetizers for multi-legged freaks
They are the worst nightmares come true for science geeks
By these lethal monsters a number of persons have been killed
Survivors wander in shock up and down the hills

Giant insects and arachnids
Are the greatest enemies of beast and man
But our cyanide gas and flames will stop them
These radioactive creatures of the sand

Just recently they developed from the blast of atomic bombs
It will take a bomber squadron to wipe them out with napalm bombs
They'll need an infantry regiment to mop up after them
Some have enough toxic acid to kill twenty beasts and men

Mutant insects and arachnids
Are the biggest enemies of beast and man
But our bullets and dynamite will stop them
These dangerous creatures of the sand

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh....

At night and in the early morning a sand storm has struck
Killer beetles, wasps, mosquitoes, dragonflies and mantises crawl and fly amuck
In the heat of the afternoon they nest underground
But you can still hear their buzzing and whistling sounds

Monstrous insects and arachnids
Are the baddest enemies of beast and man
But our grenades and missiles will stop them
These deadly creatures of the sand

LOOK OUT!
They're laying eggs and breeding
LOOK OUT!
They're hungry and it's time for feeding
LOOK OUT!
The bugs are coming BACK, BACK!
LOOK OUT!
They are tarantulas of brown and scorps and ants of red and black LOOK OUT!
