	Story Behind the Song I have kept and bred axlotls and this is simply an appreciation of this strange form of life from Mexico. Lyrics Peimeval like something from the dinosaur age, Hanging in the water, Dark like a bat or like a manta ray, Yet with a chubby face and googly eyes, Cuddly and appealing. You hold your hands out like a child, Your smile so innocent, And you move serenely, taking your time. Other times you can be a vicious beast And bite the hand that feeds. You make love while still a child for A mature salamander you shall never be; Timeless Peter Pan of the animal kingdom, Axlotl, Water Baby, how I love you.
