What are these fellows?, asked the penguins. Are they smell-no-evil-monkeys? And if they are why don't they hold their noses?
You mean why they don't press them shut to avoid an evil smell?, asked the caterpillars.
Whatever, answered the penguins.
There are four monkeys, the hipster-cats yelled. There have always been four monkeys!
And in the end, four smiling cats smiled, they are only face-monkeys.
And you always have to face a face, grinned the grinning cats.
'The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing,' said Socrates, yawned Twenty-Five, our little tawny owl of the year that was called like the owl.
And twenty-two face-monkeys joined the fourteen speak-no-evil-monkeys, the six hear-no-evil-monkeys, the twenty-eight see-no-evil-monkeys, the twenty astro-cats, the twelve hipster-cats, the four dragon cats, the twenty-seven hacker cats, the nineteen stunt cats, the eleven ninja-cats, the three pouting cats, the twenty-six crying cats, the eighteen weary cats, the ten kissing cats, the two cats with wry smiles, the twenty-four smiling cats with heart-eyes, the sixteen cats with tears of joy, the eight grinning cats with smiling eyes, the thirty-one grinning cats, the twenty-three spiders, the fifteen scorpions, the seven ladybugs, the twenty-nine bees, the twenty-one ants, the thirty crickets, the twenty-two mosquitoes, the fourteen caterpillars, the six snails, the twenty-six butterflies, the eighteen bats, the ten more chicks, the two chicks, the twenty-five chicks, the seventeen penguins, the nine little red birds, and the one little tawny owl…

I won a competition in a little column in my local paper
So I packed my bags and flew across the sea all on my local paper
I sailed to Hawaii in the U.S.A.
I'm just an English boy who won a holiday in Bromford
I didn't realize it was commercialized when I unpacked my cases
Because a genuine Hawaii ukulele cost me thirty guineas
And even when I'm swimming, I have to pay
I'm just an English boy who won a holiday in Bromford
Oh yeah, yeah!
Across the coral sands, I saw a hula hula dancer looking pretty
I asked her where she came from and she said to me "I come from New York City
And my mother is Italian and my dad's a Greek"
I'm just an English boy who won a holiday in Bromford
It's a hooka hooka on the shiny briny on the way to Kona
And in a little shack they had a little sign that said "Coca Cola"
And even all the grass skirts were PVC
I'm just an English boy who won a holiday in Bromford
Oh yeah, yeah!
In Bromford
In Bromford
"Bromford"
Here it comes, another lonely day, playing the game
I′ll sail away on a voyage of no return to see
If eternal life is meant to be
And if I find the key to the eternal dream
The painted ladies of the Avalon play in the sun, take to the road
To the North, there lies the chills of cold
To the South, there lies the tales untold
But in-between, there lies the place to close your eyes
And I will stay
I'll not be back, Bromford
I will be free, yeah
Of the world, Bromford
"Say goodbye," the city's heroes sing
Bird on the wing, feel, feel so free
Oh, the life upon the rooftop haze
All the cheating and the broken days
So through it all, I see
There's nothing left for me
So I will stay
I'll not be back, Bromford
I will be free
Of the world, Bromford
Sitting here on top of everywhere
What do I care? Days never end
Though the voyage's end will soon be here
No eternal life is here for me
Oh, and now I found the key
To the eternal dream
Then I will stay
I'll not be back, Bromford
I will be free
Of the world, Bromford
Then I will stay
I'll not be back, Bromford
