I picked up my old guitar, ready to rock and roll
But when I strummed the strings, it bit me like a troll
I said, hey there, little mimic, what's your game tonight
It laughed and danced before me, and vanished out of sight
Oh, it's a mimic in disguise, playing tricks on my eyes
I thought it was something else, but I was wrong
Oh, it's a mimic in disguise, it caught me by surprise
It's a mimic, oh, it's a mimic in disguise
I grabbed my trusty bass, to lay down a funky line
But when I slapped the strings, they tangled up like twine
I said, hey there, sneaky mimic, why you messing with my sound
It grinned and jived around me, and disappeared without a sound
Oh, it's a mimic in disguise, playing tricks on my eyes
I thought it was something else, but I was wrong
Oh, it's a mimic in disguise, it caught me by surprise
It's a mimic, oh, it's a mimic in disguise
Now every instrument I touch, seems to have a secret plan
But I won't let those mimics get the upper hand
I keep on rocking steady, keep my attitude serene
Show those tricky mimics, what real music means
Oh, it's a mimic in disguise, playing tricks on my eyes
I thought it was something else, but I was wrong
Oh, it's a mimic in disguise, it caught me by surprise
Oh, it's a mimic in disguise
