Scintillate, scintillate tiny astronomical body,
To what extent do I contemplate the nature of your existance
Above the surface of the Earth at such an altitude,
Resembling a cut and polished shard of crystalline carbon.

I express a desire to be, once again, located in territory associated with Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense
In that region, the past does not slip from memory
Avert your gaze, Avert your gaze,
Avert your gaze, Region south of the Maryland/Pennsylvania border.
In the American states south of the aforementioned border, where I was bought forth by birth
In the small hours of a day when the temperature dropped to or below the triple point of water,
Avert your gaze, Avert your gaze,
Avert your gaze, Region south of the Maryland/Pennsylvania border.

I invoke a desire to be South of the Mason-Dixon line,
At a distance, at a distance
In said territory I intend to resist all personal attacks
To experience both life and death in the aforementioned region.
At a distance, at a distance
At a distance directionally opposed to the North and deeply immersed in the states 'below' the Mason-Dixon line
At a distance, at a distance

Patella skywards Mater Sienna! Patella skywards Mater Sienna!
You must duck beneath the refectory furniture
And if there's the slightest hint that you are contorting yourself in order to do so, I shan't hesitate in my decision to amputate your lower extremities
Patella skywards! Patella skywards! Resist the jet stream,
Patella skywards Mater Sienna!

Goodness! This really does appear to be a putrefying tune!
A putrefying tune!
Really, a putrefying tune!

May I enquire as to the general health of your sire? Fabulous darling!

Being enamoured of matelots is a marker of feminine decency,
Virtuous young women are fond of seagoing servicemen.
Members of the Navy have a certain je ne sai qouis --
A fact of which you are more than aware.
Luminescent, and registering Force One on the Beaufort Scale,
Not involving financial outlay, and lacking in complication,
Personnel of the Senior Service are an object of both esteem and euphoria among the female population.
He evinces amatory feelings towards Catherine and Jane,
Only to resume his oceanic peregrinations --
Behold, a marine vessel! Behold a marine vessel!

The Constabulary are an honourable organisation
who ensure the security of our domestic environs
Their ability to control fear when facing danger is beyond doubt
And their are remarked upon regarding their pedal extremities
If one has an enquiry
Said officers will reply with facial gestures incicating pleasue
Indeed each individual member has enough information to form an encyclopedia.

Therefore, If you wish to enquire the temporal co-ordinates, enquire of a constable
The correct temporal co-ordinates, as verified by the Royal Observatory, enquire of a constable
Each member of the organisation, carries a timepiece and retainer, (naturally),
If you wish to enquire the temporal co-ordinates, enquire of a constable

May I enquire the source of your headgear?
What is the origin of said item?
Is it not most elegant
and of the correct mode for the occasion?

Wheresoever I perambulate, people greet me
Asking "What is the source of your headgear?"

My elderly spouse iterated "Make pursuance of the light,enclosed-sided,commercial vehicle
And do not procrastinate and dawdle en route"
The afore-mentioned vehicle drove away with the contents of my domicile contained within
I made pursuance with my ageing male Carduelis Cannabina
I procrastinated and dawdled, dawdled and procrastinated
Became disorientated and have no cognisance of which route to perambulate
Oh, one cannot place as much confidence in a voluntary, part-time member of Her Majesty's Police Force as one can in a long-established, paid member of the profession
When one is unable to trace one's route to one's residence

Your appearance is the epitomy of sartorial elegance,
Such as to promote gift-related discourse.
Your clothing is such that your appearance is impressive from your cranium, through to your lower extremities.
In the height of fashion, with recently-purchased headgear,
And neckwear inherited down the partilineal line.
However, I am uninterested in purchasing your timepiece, not even at a bargain price.
Antique ferrous metal.

Au revoir to the young lady who has been elected to represent the very best of America's oven-baked pastry-topped comestibles.

I directed my vintage Detroit-built automobile to the flood protection embankment, but found the aforementioned facility totally deficient in aqueous fluid.

And the elderly Southern gentlemen there assembled were consuming various distilled liquors, including both imported varieties (Caledonian or Hibernian?)* and locally produced options.

While chanting that this specific point in the calendar would be the occasion of their(or possibly my own?)* demise.

*ask Mr Maclean for further details

On a singular occasion during a vocal musical rendition designed to encourage a state of nocturnal restorative unconsciousness in an infant.

Indicate the way to my abode
I am fatigued, and I wish to retire
I partook of a little alchohol about an hour ago
And it's gone right to my cranium
Wherever I may perambulate
On terra firma, H2O or atmospheric density
You will always find me chanting this melody
Indicate the way to my abode.

"I am in accordance with your useful fellow craftman's suggestion" replied Frederick as he ascended the portable structure consisting of two long sides crossed by parallel rungs.

With the tool that he had consisting of a metal bar with a single curved end with flattened points, equipped with a small fissure on the curved end, he executed a impact of considerable kinetic energy.

At this juncture he found himself at some professional disadvantage as approximately 453.6 kilograms of waste building aggregates fell under gravity onto the apex of his parietal bone, close to the sagittal suture, being unprotected as it was by approved safety headwear made to the appropriate standard.

In the event Charles and myself retired from the workplace to the designated rest area and had a further infusion of the leaves of the plant Camellia sinensis (L.) before subsequently clocking off from the site and returning to our respective abodes.

We are below, in the basement where dust accumulates on the casements. We have utilised what anthracite was at our disposal , and hence are reduced to the igneous residue. Were the landlord's representative to make social intercourse, we might prove difficult to locate, if not impossible ; for we are, as aforesaid, below, in the basement, where the dust, notwithstanding, accumulates on the casements.

Does your low-calorie additive-free long-lasting comestible suffer deterioration in its oral stimulation factor when deposited on the upright supporting member of your sleeping facility during the nocturnal hours?

If your maternal parent forbids you to indulge in further mastication, do you allow this product to undergo an aesophagal transit as a gesture of hostility?

Can you secure it to either of the oval lymphoid tissues situated in your throat, and then propel it vigorously from side to side?

My husband is a refuse operative and he wears the requisite refuse operative's protective headgear as specified under current health and safety legislation. He wears hi-viz protective clothing on his lower body, and rents a simplex apartment in a multi-occupancy dwelling owned by the local housing authority. He resembles the fruit of plants of the genus musa by wearing size 14 slip-resistant protective footwear, and because he struggles to get them on in the morning he refers to them deprecatingly through the medium of horticultural cockney rhyming slang.

Almost certainly been done before but it kept me amused at work this morning making it up!

Any other songs that could benefit from similar reworking?
