Lyrics

[01:16.29] We like the Northern Hemisphere
[01:21.45] That's where the strangest things appear
[01:27.08] The conjurer takes off his head
[01:32.68] Now watch him make it disappear
[01:38.40] Recess of the torso, said the actress to the hero
[01:43.57] Now watch him make it reappear
[01:55.22] It's in the Western Hemisphere
[02:00.47] That's where the nicest things appear
[02:06.10] You even see a bird in flight
[02:12.18] Flying 'round the diamond tree
[02:17.33] Travelling incognito, said the actress to the hero
[02:22.79] She has a longing to be free
[02:33.94] There's a golden pleasure dome, complete in every home
[02:39.12] You see the strangest things in the Northern Hemisphere
[02:44.77] And Ollibute the gnome, tries entering the phone
[02:49.87] He's waiting for a call from the upper atomosphere
[03:23.33] You know the Southern Hemisphere
[03:28.68] That's where the warmest things appear
[03:34.37] In tiny islands in the sun
[03:40.10] Some people make it their career
[03:45.69] Please straighten my kimono, said the actress the the hero
[03:51.17] High in the upper atmosphere
