Let the singing singers With vocal voices, most vociferous, In sweet vociferation out-vociferize Even sound itself.

— Henry Carey

What a monstrous tail our cat has got!

Of all the days that's in the week I dearly love but one day, And that's the day that comes betwixt A Saturday and Monday.

God save our gracious king! Long live our noble king! God save the king!

Genteel in personage, Conduct, and equipage; Noble by heritage, Generous and free.

Of all the girls that are so smart, There's none like pretty Sally.

Aldeborontiphoscophornio! Where left you Chrononhotonthologos?
