She sports a fairly funky smell
And it makes my little possum heart just swell
Thirteen nipples in her pouch
And when she bites me all I do is yell

If she's snarlin'
She's my darlin'
Sweet opossum
Girl of mine
You may not understand it
But that possum girl is fine
checks all my boxes
then she blows my mind
My snarlin' darlin'
Possum valentine

She gobbles up those awful ticks
So you and your family won't get sick
reproduces like a rabbit
So I have to be extremely quick

If she's snarlin'
She's my darlin'
Sweet opossum
Girl of mine
You may not understand it
But that possum girl is fine
checks all my boxes
then she blows my mind
My snarlin' darlin'
Possum valentine

If she's layin' in the forest
Don't go calling up the florist
She's not sleeping
She's not dead
Get those thoughts
Out of your head
She'll wake up in just an hour
And I'll bring her big red flowers
She'll be my possum valentine again

If she's snarlin'
She's my darlin'
Sweet opossum
Girl of mine
You may not understand it
But that possum girl is fine
checks all my boxes
then she blows my mind
My snarlin' darlin'
Possum valentine
My snarlin' darlin'
Possum valentine
My snarlin' darlin'
Possum valentine

Awesome stuff! -jsini

That chorus is infectious. Like rabies. Amazing. -unkept

What a lovely tribute to your sweet snarlin’ missus. I hope she appreciates that mighty fine banjo picking you’ve got going there. -vivalarayna

What a clever and enjoyable opossum love song! We don’t have opossums this far north so I’m learning a lot. -metalfoot

LOL! So clever, really enjoying your songs!! -tamsnumber4

Still laughing! But good musicianship. -coolparadiso

Happy Valentine’s Day from my snarlin’ darlin’ to yours. 😁 Great rhymes, by the way. -auditasum

What a sweet tribute! Your darlin’ sounds like a real winner. -cleanshoes

Soft hearted and sentimental classic valentine. Love the banjo – hope some of your offspring have inherited your musical talent. You could have a Possum Posse Family Band dontcha know. -hummingbear

Where can I buy your merch! I’m hooked! 😁 -dragondreams

Amazing! Nifty bluegrass picking and some cool sorta science-y info. -chipwithrow

Best thing I’ve heard in a year. -aesthetic72

Excellent songwriting! It’s a really heartwarming love song. 😀 -degausser

I admit, the first time I saw your profile, I wondered whether you were a troll. Opossums can’t write music! Well, you have proven me quite wrong. Thank you for gracing us with your fine talent, Opossum! I am really curious how you got that chorus effect on the vocals because it is top notch and much like what I’ve been trying to achieve myself. -glasscrow

The songwriting is so good it’s hard to believe how silly it is. -spazsquatch

How, I say, HOW can anyone not love this? That banjo pickin’ is all kinds of awesome, but I do love the way the bass fiddle is anchoring this little diddy. You are one awesome marsupial. -cts

The banjo on this one is so awesome. So glad I stopped by to listen to your music. -colgoo

This is the sweetest marsupial love song I’ve heard. I like everything about it. Downloaded. -bradbrubaker

So much fun! You can be sure I’ll be checking in with anticipation of your next opposumive creation! -kc5

Ticks all the boxes. -mandolinda

You’ve smashed this one out of the park: dead solid perfect! -tseaver

I do not know what @mdavisto is talking about; I am entirely convinced that you are in fact a marsupial who writes songs and plays the banjo. We need more singing wildlife around here. -fuzzy

Yeah, country girls are special; they surely do things for jah city girls won’t. I had one named Josephine, she was mean… , swore to hunt me down when she gets outta jail… so, can’t say much more. Ah love, it’s a wonderful thing. 😀 Better when it hurt’s, well, just a bit. -ustaknow

Third song and third hit! Again, you made to put a big smile on my face. -xfloorpunchx

She sounds like a keeper. Dude you made my day, thanks for posting anothet possum track. What I dig about your stuff is that, yes, obviously you’re taking the piss, but you’re doing it so well. Like, this is legit bluegrass. I am so down for it. -mdavisto

Aw, adorable! Love this. -expendablefriend

Delightful. That’s some fine banjo playing. -thedutchwidows

You had my wife and me dying of laughter. This needs to be on the radio. The lyrics are perfect and outrageous and perfectly outrageous and outrageously perfect. Production is top notch too. I’m sending this to friends and family for sure! -joshlevitre
