There's a little known sport
That is played in the South
If you ain't from round here
You may know nothing about
It is played by the old
Enjoyed by the young
Quite the crowd pleaser
This salting of slug
So grab the favorite of minerals
And your crystal shakers
Try not to view this
As demented behavior
You can taste the excitement
On this game de jour
Hold steady the Morton's
Get ready to pour
Scream like a banshee
Jump up and down
As we watch the slugs
Turn inside out
The best of Southern shakers
Come into play
With the salting of slugs
On slug salting day

Jump up and down
As we watch the slugs
Turn inside out
The best of Southern shakers
Come into play
With the salting of slugs
On slug salting day
