That pit a pats through my brain
So darn persistent

Someday, and speak up to it
I hope it listens when I say

Bleep, bloop, bleep, bloop, bloopbloop, bleep
I guess I never should’ve ordered clam soup
A babbitt met a bromide on the avenue one day,
And held a conversation in their own peculiar way;
They both were solid citizens, they both had been around,
And as they spoke you clearly saw their feet were on the ground!
