The Lyrics
I could have dammed all night,
As I planned the dam site.
I mill aspen and more.
Wide I have spread those things
Prepared for house building;
And several men get sore.
The river’s flow has ceased to go—I’m biting
Those stalwart trunks and bark—delight!
I had earned enmity
’cause of my damming spree.
I could have dammed, dammed, dammed all night!
Guys could have “damned!” all night,
Guys could and “damned!” the blight,
Rants spill mad words—sores soar.
Wide they have spread those things
Whose iron mouths and springs
Can sever legs from core.
It grips my toe; it grieves me so—it’s biting;
I’m all but done for—hard to fight.
I had turned enemy
’cause of my damming spree.
I’m now a hat that damns frostbite.
As I planned the dam site.
I mill aspen and more.
Wide I have spread those things
Prepared for house building;
And several men get sore.
The river’s flow has ceased to go—I’m biting
Those stalwart trunks and bark—delight!
I had earned enmity
’cause of my damming spree.
I could have dammed, dammed, dammed all night!
Guys could have “damned!” all night,
Guys could and “damned!” the blight,
Rants spill mad words—sores soar.
Wide they have spread those things
Whose iron mouths and springs
Can sever legs from core.
It grips my toe; it grieves me so—it’s biting;
I’m all but done for—hard to fight.
I had turned enemy
’cause of my damming spree.
I’m now a hat that damns frostbite.

Dam! Another masterpiece! ;D
Leave it to John, to inform us, entertainingly of beaver damming.
. . . auf ~BeaverDam~ Wisconsin !
Damnation, that deserves not just three, but *five* gorges!
OS has an intro that's sung, and has three, not two, main stanzas -- plus two bridges (Bridges -- get it, "dam", "bridges"?;-) *Random* (yeah, right) sample:

whose favorable comments were strong impetuses (shouldn't that be "impeti"?) for our finishing off the rest of "My Fair Lady", where it was included here:
http://www.amiright.com/parody/60s/myfairladylernerloewe7.shtml
Also a couple of awkward stresses, as in "the" in the second line, without markings to alert the reader. But hey, you let me get away with the dam trashing of "verbally" in my post today, (and two plugs, heh!), so these things won't dam-pen the overall wit. 555.
btw, it's great that you empathize with beavers. I've always loved them!

OMR: Thank you, master.
AFW: They're damn interesting creatures.
NCB: Madison!
TT: Yeah, I took the lazy route, as I'm doing in my upcoming parody of "I'd Do Anything for You," from "Oliver." I will check out the two you referenced.

Ahhhh, those singing beavers are BACK!!
You should take this one to Broadway, John.
Instead of 'Cats", we'll now have "Dammed"
$555 for front row seats!!
