Holding welks and periwinkles tingling in his hand Little does he know they hold him too
"Starfish on the Toast," Donovan
(Welks and periwinkles are foreign terms without substance to me, maybe like tumbleweeds and horn-toads are to people who've never been in the southwest. I can look them up in dictionaries, but the experience of them being held and tingling... it's like another planet.)

Buckle my shoe
Three, four
Shut the door
Who comes sliding down the bannister?
The vicar in a tutu.
He's not strange.
He just wants to live his life this way.

And if you say the word
I could stay with you

Two or three girls has he
That he likes as well as me
But I love him.

What can I do?

Meat Loaf (Jim Steinman lyrics)
We've let it go too far,
We're too young to have tied ourselves to each others' arms
We've forgotten who we are

But get me home for tea
It's all too much for me to take
The love that's shining all around...
Beatles, "All Too Much"
Our house
is a very, very, very fine house
With two cats in the yard...

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
You would cry too
If it happened to you

Can I have a little more
All Together Now
The Beatles

I think you know that you won't be away too long

In France Napoleon Bonapart
Thought beating Austria was very smart
But when he took on England too
He was beaten up by Wellington at Waterloo
