This is the one song everyone



would like to learn: the song



that is irresistible:







the song that forces men



to leap overboard in squadrons



even though they see the beached skulls







the song nobody knows



because anyone who has heard it



is dead, and the others can't remember.







Shall I tell you the secret



and if I do, will you get me



out of this bird suit?







I don't enjoy it here



squatting on this island



looking picturesque and mythical







with these two feathery maniacs,



I don't enjoy singing



this trio, fatal and valuable.







I will tell the secret to you,



to you, only to you.



Come closer. This song







is a cry for help: Help me!



Only you, only you can,



you are unique







at last. Alas



it is a boring song



but it works every time.
