To every city, every town,
Over mountains, 'cross the sea,
From Saint Tropez to Mun San Nee.
(Cloony The Clown)

Once I smiled in secret at the gossip of the starlings,
And shared a conversation with the housefly
in my bed.

And the fool gave me five pennies for them, And five is more than four And then I went and showed my dad, And he got red in the cheeks And closed his eyes and shook his head Too proud of me to speak.
