Early in the middle of the day one night  
Two dead boys got up to fight.  
Back to back they faced each other  
Drew their swords and shot one another.

Great green gobs of greasy grimy gopher guts  
Mutilated monkey meat  
Perforated piggies’ feet  
A one-quart jar of all-purpose porpoise pus  
Floating in my lemonade

And me without my strawwwwwwwww…

## A deaf policeman heard the noise and came and killed those two dead boys

Twas midnight on the ocean  
Not a streetcar was in sight  
The sun was shining brightly  
And it rained all day that night.  
The barefoot boy with shoes on  
Sat standing on the grass  
A bee flew by and the streetcar  
Stopped to let it pass.

Miss Mary Mac, Mac, Mac  
All dressed in black, black, black  
With silver buttons, buttons, buttons  
All down her back, back, back  
She asked her mother, mother, mother  
For fifty cents, cents, cents  
To see the elephant, elephant, elephant  
Jump the fence, fence, fence  
He jumped so high, high, high  
He touched the sky, sky, sky  
And didn’t come back, back, back  
Until the Fourth of July, ly, ly!

Tastes like kerosene!

So buy some Comet and vomit today!

Last night I met upon the stair  
A little man who wasn’t there.  
He wasn’t there again today.  
I wish to heck he’d go away!

The night was dark, the sky was blue  
Down the alley a shit cart flew  
A wheel came off, A scream was heard  
A man was killed by a flying turd

The deaf-mute said he heard the scream  
As the dead boys drowned in the dried-up stream.

I just got back from a trip to Alaska. Here, let me show you my photos from the trip – we shot eight rolls of film – can you believe it? Here’s me standing in the snow next to a sign that says “Welcome to Fairbanks”. And that’s my friend standing in the snow next to a sign that says “Welcome to Fairbanks”. And here’s my friend and I standing together next to the sign that says “Welcome to Fairbanks”. Look, he’s making little reindeer horns behind my head. The next picture is the view out of the car on the way to the hotel – look at all that snow.  
What’s that you say – you hear the phone? I don’t hear anything. Come back! The next picture is where a whole team of huskies peed in the snow – it’s really funny.
