"There was a little boat sailed down the river, Hull was a cup and sail was a feather, Cum peedle ump pump pay."

"I dont mind failing in this world, Ill stay down here with the raggedy crew, Cause getting up there means stepping on you, so I dont mind failing in this world."

"If you are a piano, You will laugh on evry string, And if you are a girl or boy, Youll sing."
