Did You Know
Humans blink over ten million times
Each and every year of their lives
So keep those eyelids watered real good
Sad movies will get rid of dry eyes
Not being married can shorten a man's life
By maybe ten years or more
Being married can also shorten a man's life
By twenty years, I'm pretty sure
The most used expression in any language
Is the positive and upbeat “OK”
Standing on top of a mountain you can see
A lit match 50 miles away
Ants will stretch when waking each morning
Like sneezing, it feels so damn good
Camel's three eyelids protect them from sand
They should think of wearing a hood
Some scientists say that the higher your IQ
The more you will dream at night
Yours truly even dreams throughout the day
Bumping into things gives me a fright
The average iceberg weighs 20 million tons
What kind of a scale do they use
Urged my large friend to maybe investigate
It upset him and he vehemently refused
Some people baptize their baby in beer
Gives them a problem with booze
Out of every pore in their overweight bodies
The alcohol continues to ooze
Camels can survive in the desert for 3 months
Without water, now how bout that
Of course a lot of them had to join AA
Drinking beer out of very big vats
The electric chair was invented by a dentist
Why we try, their appointments, to miss
Some lions mate more than fifty times a day
And I was born a human, boo hiss!
