Poor armadillo on the side of the road
Them short arms and little legs can't help but move too slow
Yeah poor armadillo folks are scared to touch ya
You live 20 years at best thinkin' nobody loves ya

Poor armadillo you're tougher than than a boot
Guess that's why nobody cooks up armadillo stew
Poor armadillo people hit ya just for fun
Guess That chicken crossed the road just to prove it could be done

Poor, poor armadillo
You're so misunderstood
Poor, poor armadillo
You're better than you look

Poor armadillo I bet ya love a honky tonk
You look like Moe Bandy with an army helmet on
Poor armadillo you are a friend of mine
You make tacos out of termites you make scorpions run and hide

Poor, poor armadillo
You're so misunderstood
Poor, poor armadillo
You're better than you look

Poor, lonesome armadillo
You're so misunderstood
Poor, ugly armadillo
You're better than you look

Poor, ugly armadillo
You're better than you look

Poor armadillo man keep up the fight
Cause the whole state of Texas is on your side"
