Tennis ball | Tennis ball, canine salivation | ||
And that's not all | |||
Don't you be so perspicacious | |||
Heath bar crunch | |||
Soggy prophylactic | |||
And ants on the munch | |||
Let me tell you 'bout a man named Jumbo | |||
6'4" and full o' muscle | |||
He likes Ike and two homunculi | |||
Borneo babes and tricycli | |||
Stop, you're hurting me | |||
It's not funny anymore | |||
Oh, I had some bad broth | |||
He's my friend | |||
And my knee's on the mend | |||
Hank's spaking plankton | |||
And he does not have a hairnet yet | |||
Up and down | |||
Slam mellow craziness | |||
My laughter and forgetting | |||
Things I do not need to know | |||
??? | |||
