Wow! I posted to this thread after a three-year gap and Joe replied in fifteen minutes. I am impressed. Can't tell you how good it feels to have the real words. As I mentioned before, I've been singing them (and a few other songs like the Monks of St. Bernard) incessantly, in order to get rid of what I call the "Go stick your head in a pig syndrome." (A phrase taken from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, in which there's a reference to a giant sign with a company slogan, "Share and enjoy," which after being partly destroyed appeared to read in another language "Go stick your head in a pig." I've always thought it a useful shorthand for the pitfalls of mispronouncing foreign languages.)
