This is a new look at a rather old joke

I've got a unicorn's horn in the middle of my forehead
And the antlers of a stag on either side
I've got pointed ears that are something like a deer's
Or something like an elf's, I can't decide

I've got long green hair to match my flowing emerald mane
That turns red with the oak trees every fall
With my goat like eyes it should come as no surprise
That I've got feathered eyebrows and that isn't all

[Chorus]

My mother never talks about that orgy
And I can't really blame her, much although
I'd love to read the guest list for that party
And if there's another one like it, let me know

Well my vampire's fangs make kissing kind of awkward
Like the set of gills implanted in my neck
But my chest and arms, aren't the least of all my charms
They somehow came out human, what the heck

I've got phoenix wings well rooted in my shoulders
And I hope you like legs, 'cause I got four
The furry forward pair, would make a lion stare
Because they end in dragon claws that wreck the floor

[Chorus]

I suspect my body's mostly like a centaur's
Though my fur is somewhat tiger like you'll find
And if you'd fear that my legs in front were weird
You should only see the pair that walk behind

'Cause they start off looking something like a horse's
But they're covered up with feathers not with hair
And they end in hooves like an antelope's which proves
That there's nothing that the traffic will not bear

[Chorus]

Now my tail is really something very special
Though you wouldn't think so seeing it at all
For it's long and green, like my hair and mane you've seen
And like them it turns red with every fall

But beneath that hair, which is really quite attractive
The stinger of a mantacore is hid
So you surly see, when you look at all of me
That I really wish I knew, what mother did!

My mother never talks about that orgy
And I can't really blame her, much although
I'd love to read the guest list for that party
And if there's another one like it, let me know, 'cause I wanna go
If there's another one like it, let me know
