AND THE WIND PLAYED A DREADFUL CANTATA. (cantata, cantata)
SORE WAS I FROM A CRACK OF AN ENEMY'S HOSE
AND THE HORRIBLE SOUND OF TOMATO. (tomato, tomato)
CATCH UP! (Catch up!)
SUPER FURY
DON'T GET LEFT BEHIND. (get left behind)
CATCH UP (Catch up!)
SUPER FURY (Super Fury)
DON'T GET LEFT BEHIND. (get left behind, get left behind, get left behind)
WHEN A RATTLE OF RATS HAD AWOKEN
THE SINEWS, THE NERVES AND THE VEINS.
MY PIANO WAS BOLDLY OUTSPOKEN
IN ATTEMPTS TO REPEAT THIS REFRAIN.
SO I STOOD WITH A KNOT IN MY STOMACH,
AND I GAZED AT THAT TERRIBLE SIGHT,
OF TWO YOUNGSTERS CONCEALED IN A BARREL,
SMOKING MONKBERRY MOON DELIGHT, (om pah om pah pah) HO!

OH -
OH-OH, OH-OH.
WELL, I KNOW MY BANANA IS OLDER THAN THE REST
AND MY HAIR IS A TANGLED BERETTA. (beretta, beretta)
BUT I LEAVE MY PAJAMAS TO BILLY BUDAPEST,
AND I DON'T GET THE GIST OF YOUR LETTER. (your letter, your letter)
CATCH UP, (catch up)
CATS AND KITTENS (cats and kittens)
DON'T GET LEFT BEHIND. (get left behind)
CATCH UP, (catch up)
CATS AND KITTENS (cats and kittens)
DON'T GET LEFT BEHIND. (get left behind, get left behind, get left behind)
