This is the story of foolish Prince Bass Fiddle and wise Jerry Kemal. |
|
As you remember, last time, the Prince was found without a dime on the Ponce Valdez while Jerry |
|
Watched from a tree... |
|
In the land of Ali Baba near the Sea of Babalee, |
|
Lived a man who played the zither with a pronoun on his knee. |
|
He would dance among the fuzzy trees and bring the birds to life |
|
And his name was Prince Bass Fiddle and he loved his ugly wife. |
|
He would sing the songs of Lutvee in his very special way |
|
And he puffed tea with his lumpy head and sleep all night and day. |
|
With his turban and his leicester faced the thieves of Germany |
|
But beware great Prince Bass Fiddle, you'll be hanging from a tree. |
|
Fifty days and nights they waited for a sign from old Ratan |
|
To pretend to wear the colours of the Emperor Charlie Chan. |
|
So they strolled into the forest with a song and energy |
|
To find bay leaves in the cauldron of the mad witch Betty Lee. |
|
Came the answer from a leaf top that was found upon the ground |
|
"Only time and Prince Bass Fiddle will repair your bellies round. |
|
Search the highlands search the lowlands, cruise the Sea of Babalee, |
|
But remember that your children need the food from filigree." |
|
Then one day in Abalone came a messenger to say |
|
That onion-head Bass Fiddle broke in half no more to play. |
|
Will we lose our land of Lutvee to the bearded men of Cleaves? |
|
Only miracles can save us and some tricks inside our sleeves. |
|
From the sky there was an answer to the question of the plebes |
|
"You will meet a tall dark stranger wearing black and blue cannives. |
|
Who is Lucy, who is Nestor? We should only be there now. |
|
Why it's Aphrodite Milton and his keeper Prince Kemal. |
