So I sat in the attic

A piano up my nose

And the wind played a dreadful cantata (cantata)

Sore was I from the crack of an enemy's hose

And the horrible sound of tomato (tomato)

Ketchup (ketchup)

Soup and puree (Soup and puree)

Don't get left behind (get left behind)

When a rattle of rats had awoken

The sinews, the nerves and the veins

My piano was boldly outspoken, in attempts to repeat its refrain

So I stood with a knot in my stomach

And I gazed at that terrible sight

Of two youngsters concealed in a barrel

Sucking monkberry moon delight

Monkberry moon delight

Monkberry moon delight

Well, I know my banana is older than the rest

And my hair is a tangled beretta

When I leave my pajamas to Billy Budapest

And I don't get the gist of your letter (your letter)

Catch up! (catch up)

Cats and kittens (cats and kittens)

Don't get left behind (get left behind)

Monkberry moon delight
