Phish - Wombat Lyrics

Left dancer bringing it

Had to have that
Had to have that
Your wombat
Had that
Had to have that
Had to have that
Your wombat
Had that
You gotta take it with you when you're going forward
If you're moving on you've got to leave it behind
(Know you've got to leave it behind)
You gotta take it with you when you're going forward
If you're moving on you've got to leave it behind
(Know you've got to leave it behind)
Your wombat
You had that
Your wombat
You had that
You gotta take it with you when you're going forward
If you're moving on you've got to leave it behind
(Know you've got to leave it behind)
It's kinda like the theme from the "Fish" TV show
You know, with Abe Vigoda
The "Fish" TV show
You know, with Abe Vigoda
You gotta take it with you when you're going forward
If you're moving on you've got to leave it behind
(Bring it forward or leave it behind)
Little red wagon took a big jump
(Cuddly but deadly)
Felt like it was caught in a centrifuge
(Herbivorous, crepuscular)
Never did tumble over the side of the hill
(Discovered by a man named Wilson)
Flying down to Baton Rouge
Spit out the seeds
Gnaw on the pulp
Suck on the juice
And simmer the rinds
(Herbivorous, crepuscular)
Look at everything
You had to have
Bring it forward (Bring it forward or leave it behind)
Or leave it behind
Cuddly, but muscular
Herbivorous, crepuscular
He's cuddly, but muscular
Herbivorous, crepuscular
He's cuddly, but muscular

WOW! JUST WOW!

Looks like Abe was loving being a “star” again for a brief moment. That was joy on his face!

this makes me want to scratch my fuckin eyes out.

Classic

Abe deserves that. Wombat. RIP 😀

Still sucks cock five years later

Wonderful video. 🧡

That is so cool. Now THAT would be a hell of a super bowl half-time show! ROFL

the Beastie Boys dropped Abe Vigoda's name long before this

I just fucking love it when Fish sings

NOBODY would have guest that was a 92yo until he took the head off.

Can you get me off the hook Tom? For old times sake? Can't do it Sally.

92 years old!

What in the FUCK just did I just witness??

One of them look like Lester Crest

I saw this in 2014 and 2016 in Vegas. Loved it immediately. Page gettin grimy on the claveeeee

When Trey listens to Blood Sugar Sex Magik...

Between THIS and NYE 12/31/16.... When's the SuperBowl halftime show!?!?!

phish saved my life

BillyBCreations amen

This is hilarious

He Looks so Happy up there. Abe that is. I love it.

surely that wasnt abe in the suit dancing right? They must have switched out the real guy after they went off stage. How could he dance like that at such an old age

Welcome to the entertainment business

You’re regarded

Wow, awesome! Abe didn't want to leave!! How fun was that?

Annnnd FOUND: one Wombat, SF, CA 7/19/16. None the worse for wear :)

RIP Wombat, missing since November '14, presumed dead :(

R.I.P. The God Father, Abe Vigoda. We will miss you greatly. Amen.

More Wombat for this summer!

Something tells me Abe wasn't dancing around and was backstage in his own suit.

was strange

RIP Mr. Vigoda
thanks for joining our goofy tribe :)

RIP Abe we hardly knew ye

RIP Abe loved you in Goodburger so glad you got to be on stage with TREY!

in sending the link I got to type "Abe Vigoda on stage with Phish in A.C., NJ in a wombat costume" and it was everything I hoped it would be.

RIP Abe! Dude knew how to get down...

Turn up the CLAV!

RIP Abe

rip abe!

RIP Abe Vigoda

I always thought it would be Clemenza

My least favorite Phish show, and the only Phish show I ever left disappointed in the band, and I went to Coventry. I feel like a Vietnam war veteran having gone to 10/31/13.

+Henry Drake no offense, but only giant marks want to sign up for combat. Show sucked.

+Brent Hoffman I just reported this comment to YouTube dogg. Maybe you should learn how to be a little respectful and use better words.

OOOH! Reported me to YouTube!!! Are you a 12 year old trailer park teen masquerading as an Internet toughguy? Watch out everyone, keyboard warrior alert!!!

+Andrew Martin The Ghost>Carini was amazing. I understand you are bitter because you didn't get a Zep or Zappa album, but come on. That was far from bad show.

Worst show ever? You're fucking crazy! And reporting someone's comment?...lol what a bitch.

They look like they're having a ball. But oy, that song is bad.

Now there's a guy who's getting the most out of his old age!

showin love to the paisan

oh lord, fell into a phish hole.. abe vigoda (the band) >>>

For a 92 year old, he's got some damn good moves.

And to all the haters on this thread, all i can say is "move it forward or leave it behind"!

That is so fucking classic....Abe Vigoda onstage, with a cane!  Obvious the guys love playing this song, and I love hearing it.  Smiles all around...

RIP Harris Wittles

I'm here because of Harris...

aint that kina cruel to put a dementia patient in a bear suit

5:08 Who else sees the cactus?

Brice Adkins y 😂

Ha! They totally James Browned him. Good stuff.

Mike's having a real good time. Nothing wrong with a dancing wombat.....just saying. 

It actually is kinda like the theme to the Fish TV show. You know, with Abe Vigoda.

Somebody make this stop. 

One of the dudes dancing (the one without the hat) kinda looks like Eli Roth (writer/director/producer and the "Bear Jew")

Just fucking awful

At first this was my least favorite track.. but now i'm hooked on the cuddely but muscular Wombat..

pioniere1944 100

Love Wombat!!!!Reminds me of 97 deep dish funky shit!

So my friend is saying that there's no way it was actually Abe Vigoda when the Wombat was busting all those crazy moves... At first I was like "no dude shut up it definitely was"...but now I'm thinking he might be onto something? Maybe it was another dancer and then Abe Vigoda just came out at the end? 

I thought that too... Specially because he disappears for a while, and then he comes back with a cane and no dancing moves at all, and also because of how he leaves the stage at first, as if he really was Abe Vigoda and too old for dancing.
Those things may be explained, though, saying that he is just tired after 4 minutes of dancing in a wombat suit, being 92 y/o... I would be tired as fuck, and am 23.
There are some videos of 90 y/olds dancing, but nothing Abe Vigoda related. I guess this is just for us to decide, the age old question: do you want to believe?

It's definitely someone else dancing and then Abe in an identical Wombat suit....Phish are a bunch of pranksters and it was Halloween.  Looks like you suckas mighta gotten Tricked.

Just amazing. Ready for summer tour 14. 92 and can move that well that is just plain nuts. :)

who is the blond?

Miley Cyrus.

7:21 when the guy with the wombat head touches Abe's back - nice touch 

Who dosed abe?

Cheesy but interesting.

i think you mean 'cuddly but muscular'

no, I believe he meant herbivorous, crepuscular

I think the whole dance thing was strange. 

That blonde is cute!

Good tunes

Herbivorous, Crepuscular!

more dancing girls!

Pure phunk.

I honestly don't get the haters to the new Phish music...Trey could be DEAD and we wouldn't be hearing any Phish, much less new Phish....see Jerry Garcia.  Frankly, this tune rule, put just my opinion!

Such a great song musically, the lyrics.. ugh.. sorry they're terrible and obnoxious

I want to Play the Wombat one Day!

I f*****g love this song. Haterz can move on.

Emperor's ew clothes

what? new phish? sucks

they love playing this stuff. 

Pure joy on all of their faces. So excited I was there for this show!

I saw Phish from 98-2000. Have since emigrated to Australia. Was excited to see the name of the song. Gave it a spin...Holy Moly! What happened, the psychedelic jedi funk masters have now produced a song that would give a teddy bear seizures. Really terrible. Get back on the drugs, guys.

WARNING: THIS VIDEO WILL MELT YOUR FACE

does anyone know where the video they played with page and Abe is? I couldn't here it at the show and would like to see it.

i love treys banter at the end.

love love love love this

This just gets better the more I watch it.

One thing i learned a long time ago about phish is that whenever they bust out some new shit, alot of it is not liked by alot of people who are fans, but as time goes on, these songs will grow on you, some you may never like very much but even the songs i have not like in the past like weigh for example, i would love to hear live. i stopped going to see these guys a long time ago for many different reasons...prison being the biggest. But they are simply one of the best bands ever. Its just a part of my past i havent choosen to relive yet. I am glad they are still around though...I guess i am sayin all this cause i kind trashed them in my last post..really it was the dancer shit i didnt dig. plus i dont like songs that stop and go too much. I just cant get into songs like that.

@George W  wonderfuly said 

I liked your comment blastingcaps and I mostly agree with you.  Don't let the haters get to you.  You know what's up.

probably the dumbest this i have ever seen phish do. guess there is reason i havent been to a show since 95

this shit sucks compared to what they used to do. you missed out on when EVERY show was good. your are pissed about that, and you ought to be. but dont talk shit to me because of it. your the kind of dork i used to burn on the lot because you didnt belong there anyway. want some more homo?

So the dude is basically saying that he used to be cool, and now he's in a most pathetic place in his life.
Nice.

TO BATON ROUGE?!!?!

The guy with the tennis racket at 4:10 is jammin out.

Taylor Norton omg great catch

Fuck yes!!! Funkiest Phish jam in a WHILE, maybe since ghost. Lovin this song. People complaining about this show need to leave the phish world and make room for peeps who love amazing music... aww, you didn't get to hear covers, you got stuck listening to the best band in the world playing their own awesome brand new never heard before songs... lucky you!!

Wombat bitches. Abe Vagota in a fucking Wombat suit... suck on that!

GONG!!! Shithole music for shit-for-brains.....

I hope things get better for you.

Abe Vigoda has no idea where he is right now

this shit is stuck in my head!

"Hey man, let's bring these guys back out for a gwhile"

nice work Phish. well done. 

That was a really cool tune!

anyone else hear Harpua in this?

This song has potential for sure.  Who doesn't like Phish Funk?

How does Ab move that quick for being like 100+ years old! Guys got moves son!

Dancin' girls at every show please.
