Stank you very much, for picking me up,
And bringing me back to this world.

I thank, I wanna say, I thank, I wanna say;
Stank you, stank you, smelly much!
For picking me up and bringing me back to this world.
Hey, hey John! Are we recording our ad libs? Really??
Were we recording just then?
Let me hear that that first one, when I first started.
