[01:53.18] I wandered lonely as a cloud,
[01:56.74] Till I came upon this dirty street.
[02:00.63] I've never seen a stranger crowd;
[02:04.34] Slubberdegullions on a squeaky feet,
[02:08.26] Continually pacing,
[02:10.09] With nonchalant embracing,
[02:12.08] Each orifice disgracing
[02:13.89] And one facing me moves to say "hellay".
[02:19.61] His skin's all covered in slimy lumps.
[02:23.41] With lips that slide across each chin.
[02:27.27] His twisted limbs like rubber stamps
[02:30.96] Are waved in welcome say 'Please join in.'
[02:34.85] My grip must be flipping,
[02:36.68] Cos his handshake keeps slipping,
[02:38.47] My hopes keep on dipping
[02:40.23] And his lips keep on smiling all the time.
[02:46.91] "We like you, have tasted love.
[02:50.07] Don't be alarmed at what you see,
[02:53.84] You yourself are just the same
[02:56.07] As what you see in me."
[02:58.52] Me, like you? like that!
[03:14.34] "You better watch it son, your sentence has only just begun
[03:21.11] You better run and join your brother John."
[03:24.94]
[03:27.03] "You're in the colony of slippermen.
[03:31.23] There's no who? why? what? or when?
[03:35.40] You get out if you've got the gripe
[03:38.93] To see, Doktor Dyper, reformed sniper
[03:41.79] he'll whip off your windscreenwiper
[03:45.01] John and I are able
[03:48.10] To face the Doktor and his marble table.
[03:51.80] Understand Rael, it's the end of your tail.
[03:55.97] "Don't delay, dock the dick!"
[03:58.17] I watch his countdown timer tick......
[04:01.11]
[04:18.11] He places the number into a tube,
[04:23.90] A yellow plastic "shoobedoobe".
[04:31.33] It says: "Though your fingers may tickle
[04:35.36] You'll be safe in our pickle."
[04:39.97] Suddenly, black cloud comes down from the sky.
[04:45.91] It's a supersize black bird that sure can fly.
[05:37.13] The raven brings on darkness and night
[05:43.41] He flies right down, gives me one hell of a fright.
[05:52.99] He takes the tube right out of my hands
[05:56.38] Man, I've got to find out where that black bird lands.
[06:00.25] "Look here John, I've got to run
[06:03.71] I need you now, you going to come?"
[06:07.24] He says to me.
[06:08.81] "Now can't you see
[06:11.09] Where the raven flies there's jeopardy.
[06:15.14] We've been cured on the couch
[06:17.17] Now you're sick with your grouch.
[06:18.95] I'll not risk my honey pouch
[06:20.99] Which my slouch will wear slung very low."
[06:26.58] He walks away and leaves me once again.
[06:30.41] Even though I never learn,
[06:32.34] I'd hoped he'd show just some concern.
[06:41.61] Some concern
[06:48.84] Some concern
[07:08.58] I'm in agony of Slipperpain
[07:12.44] I pray my undercarriage will sustain.
[07:16.62] The chase is on, the pace is hot
[07:20.42] But I'm running so very hard with everything I've got.
[07:26.19] He leads me down an underpass
[07:29.28] Though it narrows, he still flies very fast,
[07:33.45] When the tunnel stops
[07:36.78] I catch sight of the tube, just as it drops.
[07:42.28] I'm on top of a bank, to steep to climb,
[07:46.00] I see it hit the water, just in time,
[07:50.65] to watch it float away.
