Believe It, It's All True
In France back in the middle ages
The courts ordered the execution of a cow
How come you're probably asking
Sat on a farmer and squished him that's how
Larry Lewis ran the 100 yard dash
Setting a record at 101 years old
A mortician happened to be standing by
Carted him off to his funeral parlour I'm told
An oak tree emits during one full season
30,000 gallons of moisture
Much like this overweight lady I know
She perspires much more than that I'm sure
“Was it Eliot's toilet I saw?” spelled backwards
Is “Was it Eliot's toilet I saw?”
Bet you weren't aware of this wee tidbit
It leaves most people in awe
About 3000 years ago, Egyptians died
By the time they were thirty years old
Were forced to write their wills at age three
Just in case they caught a bad cold
Chocolate, sex and laughter are factors
That keeping the brain sound and healthy
Larceny, deceit, thievery and embezzlement
Are excellent ways to keep you wealthy
Hedgehog's hearts beat 300 times a minute
Like mine when I see a naked woman
Now no need to get all prissy and stuff
I'm a normal and healthy REAL MAN!
