Hmmm, after you said that I did some googling, and it may be “two hype feet” which… well, that’s just silly. I like mine better (I did find some links that have “Too hype beat” as well, so it’s still not definite). ---

This one might be regional… I’ve had it from a pitcher And from a German mug I’ve filled up a paper cup And poured it from a jug I’ve had beer mild, I’ve had beer bold I drink it whenever I can But, a beer, is a beer, is a beer, is a beer Until you tasted Hamms What’s more disturbing, is that I was less than 10 years old when this stuck in my head. (Must have been all those SF Giant’s games I listened to on the radio) ---

It’s about time, it’s about space, it’s about two men in the strangest place. It’s about time, it’s about flight - Traveling faster than the speed of light. Or: Out west in Gopher Gulch lived Indian tribe. Then come the pioneers, pushed them aside. All Indians leave but two, they vow to fight. What can two Indians do? (Gibberish) Go go gophers, watch them go go go. Go go gophers, watch them go go go. ---
