 NARRATION:
  " Now here give pause, for as you know I've seen the wonders down below
    The pants of under on the floor, you know I've seen that all before
    Get in your pants, I need not try, for pants as these will surely fly
    Right off your waist, into a ball, when all can hear the wailing wall
    The shaking bed, the aching head, a good time will be had by all...   "
