Thank you, Frank

... trying to convince each and every memberof this extremely hip audience here tonight, that he was nothing more, nothing lessthan a fat maroon sofa,Suspended in the midst of a great emptinessa light shined down from heaven (* twinkling sounds *)

And there he was ladies and gentleman, the good lordAnd he took, he took a look at the sofa,And he said to himself"Quite an attractive sofa""This sofa could be commercial"

With a few more Margaritas and the right company

However, I digress"What this sofa needs" said the Big 'G'

"Is a bit of flooring underneath of it"and so in order to make this construction project possible,he summoned the assistance of the celestial corp of engineers,and, by means of a cute little song in the German language(which is the way he talks whenever it's heavy business)the Good Lord went something like this:(take it away Jim Pons!)

Everybody!

Gib zu mir etwas Fussbodenbelagunter diesen fetten fliessenden Sofa

and of course ladies and gentlemen that means:"give unto me a bit of flooring under this fat floating sofa"and sure enough boards of oak appeared throughout the emptinessas far as vision permits,stretching all the way from Belfast to Bogner Regisand the Lord put aside his huge cigarand proceeded to deliver unto the charming maroonish sofathe bulk of his messagewith the assistance of a small electric clarinetand it went something like this...

take it away Jim Pons!

Ich bin der himmelIch bin das wasser

(I am the sky and the water)

Ich bin der Dreck unter deinen WalzeIch bin dein geheime SchmutzUnd verlorenes metal GeldMetal GeldUnter deine RitzenIch bin deine Ritzen und Schlitze

Ich bin Wolke
Ich bin Bestickt
Ich bin der Autor aller Werken und Damast Paspern
Ich bin der Chrome Dinette
