There's a trail that takes you everywhere. Just be patient, that trail will get you there. Up ahead, there is the town of Everywhere, USA. When I got there, there was nobody. I wanted to know where there was action. So there was nobody to ask. Nobody said that it's down there in the center of town. When I got there, there was nothing. Nothing said that the center of town is up ahead. He said when I get there, just go right around the corner. That is where the place action will be. So there I was. I finally made it here. In the center of town, standing by the saloon. Just Go Right Around the Corner. There was Action. Prettiest little thing you've ever seen.

A bit of a smile there, methinks. Thanks, Sara. Aloha, William
