Fairy God Opossum

Liner Notes
A lotta our opossum young'uns don't belief in the Fairy God Opossum no more. So the Fairy God Opossum asked me ta write this here song so we can share it with our kidz and help 'em understood that ever opossum baby is a Cinderella story in the making!
I ain't written no songs fer awhile due to dodgin' cars, eatin' garbage and avoidin' critters that wanna eat me alive. So you'll have to pardon my dust (or is that rust?) Maybee my next 'un will be better? Or maybee not! :D Butt hay, it's FAWM so rough is OK, right?

Lyrics
Fairy God Opossum February 1, 2025
I'm sure you've all heard of the Fairy God Opossum I live in the woods down by the creek and I'm awesome
I am your Fairy God Opossum I make all your dreams come true I'll poop in your attic pee in your dish just rub my fat belly and make a big wish your Fairy God Opossum always comes through
I'll grant you 3 wishes you sad sonsofbitches c'mon down your fairy god opposum is working hard to clean up this town
I am your Fairy God Opossum I make all your dreams come true I'll poop in your attic pee in your dish just rub my fat belly and make a big wish your Fairy God Opossum always comes through
I've got lovely gossamer wings I eat ticks and bugs and things oh yeah of my kindness you will sing when you feel the joy I bring oh yeah
I am your Fairy God Opossum I make all your dreams come true I'll poop in your attic pee in your dish just rub my fat belly and make a big wish your Fairy God Opossum always comes through

So, how many times have you rhymed Opossum with Awesome now?
I enjoyed the song. it doesn't sound rough to me! Gossamer wings sound unlikely--but then they're unlikely on ape-based fairies too, aren't they? #tit4tat
I'm not sure that these are the kind of dreams I'd like to come true. Like is it any dream or only the ones dear Fairy God Opossum deems fit? I needs to know before I believe. Or maybe I need to be an opossum probably... Anyway, such sweet melody for uhm dare I say, a badass opossum. #tit4tat
Pickin', grinnin', and winnin'. The Fairy God Opossum always come through. Especially with this one. I find comfort in you, Ray.
After listening to the epic tale of Ray and John about sixteen times I just realized this oppossum-core is a thing and not a one-off. Beautiful guitar to contrast against lines such as “ I'll poop in your attic pee in your dish” and “ I'll grant you 3 wishes you sad sonsofbitches”
Just stumbled on this opossum oeuvre. Great lyric "I'll grant you 3 wishes / you sad sonsofbitches"
So brilliantly whimsical. Love your voice and the guitar work here is very cool too!
I love this, well dont and well written.
We need every superhero we can get. Hooray for the FGOpossum!! Lovely song. 😊
It seems I am now a true believer! When’s the next…meeting? Service? Possum party? I’m new, what do we call mass?
I happened to listen to this when my kids were with me (8 and 10) and we all absolutely loved this song! We have an affinity for opossums after reading the book Apple blossom the Opossum, so this song really spoke to us! I loved how saucy this fairy opossum is too! Truly well written and executed song loved by people of all ages in my house! thanks for this!
My FAWM has now started that I've heard an Opossum song, and it's a goody. Now that the Fairy God Opossum has blessed my life, I'm sure my songs will get better
Favorite line was the "lovely gossamer wings." As for the three wishes, uh, I think I'll pass, haha
I knew this was gonna go off the rails at some point. Didn't think it was gonna be so soon, tho. You know, (I know you know), it's remarkably difficult to make a well constructed musical comedy tune. So excellent job, once again.
Fun write! Love the contrast between "gossamer wings" and "eat[ing] winds and ticks and things."
I am blessed to have learned of the Fairy God Opossum on this day. The hero we deserve
Rich guitar and fun voice filter. Always love your easygoing and playful attitude. Life is too short. There's gotta be room for songs like this. Great work!
rubs fat belly I wish for more of this! So glad I got this one! If you ever want to add a sad little kazoo solo in there - drop me a note!
What a wondrous title. I would trust this fairy god opposum with my life 😌
Oh opossum, this is lovely. Oh wait, you’re peeing in a dish 😅 This has took a turn.. Haha I would love to laze by a river on a sunny day listening to this.. you know.. if there’s another lyrics were different 😁 Awesome job regardless!
Really nice guitar work on this. It was just the speed I needed for a tired Saturday morning. I am also a fan of the artwork.
Every body needs a fairy god opossum these days. I’ll rub your belly any day. {{wink}}
A song to play on a lazy sunday, pretty much great!
Welcome back Ray, glad you dodged the cars, time for some more poo humour!
Reading the liner notes, I was like, "Huh, I wonder what the singing voice of an opossum sounds like?" And the moment the vocal started, I went "oh of COURSE! That's EXACTLY how an opossum sings!" Anyway I love this :D
Welcome back Big Ray! This is a gorgeous little ditty. Jackson C Frank would be proud.
This is funny 🤣 I love possums. I have 3 that come to my back porch and ask for food. They've been coming up for several years.
We need more mischievous-but-friendly North American magical characters! Love the chill guitar with the strong character voice.
