about

55 gallon drums are used for everything from food storage to fuel storage and dissolving bodies. Guess which one Jeffrey Dahmer used them for?
The song uses a few phrases from Lewis Carroll's 'The Jabberwocky'

lyrics

55 Gallon Drum
Oh happy glorious sunny day!
The sun is shining just for me
I found him hanging in the tree
I cut him bits one two and three
To fit in my sack and take him back
To my 55 gallon drum

My next stop is the barber’ shop
Where many razored hands
Let severed heads drop
To the floor, no use to the body anymore
A sackfull of heads then swept away
Into the sack bought in today
To take away to my 55 gallon drum

Oh rapturous glorious sunny day!
Frabjous joy! Callooh calay!
The sun it shines, shines just for me
My drum’s full to the brim
Blood to the brim,to the lid
To the brim, oh happy day!
Oh happy day callooh callay!

Great music. The t-shirt didn't meet my expectation though :( The print is way smaller and abstract than showed here on the image. Gnseblmchen
