_I never gargled,  
I never gambled,  
I never smoked at all  
Until I met my two good amigos,  
Nick Teen and Al K Hall_

Oh, and by the way:  
_Now the noses on the faces of the ladies of the harem of the court of King Caractacus  
Are just passing by . . ._

a gratuitous bump, to be sure but the verses just had to be completed.

_Now the fascinating witches who put the scintilating stitches in the britches of the boys who put the powder on the noses on the faces of the ladies of the harem of the court of King Caractacus  
Are just passing by…_
