Lend me your ears and I'll take them for spares I believe I've a box for them under the stairs
But don't think to flee b'fore you've learnt what's about
You can run from me maybe but I'll sniffle you out
If you think this is madness then you're definitely right
If you fear it's contagious I can tell you it's quite
If you start to hear words in this song that don't fit
You'll be wheelbarrow microphone before you can spit
Wey-ho! and collies and cabbage And ammonia and chocolate and other word salad
Wey-ho! And a flow on the mare And the sparrows are sparkling in the sweet
sunburnt air
Flow is the king of this poetry pump- -ing chaos and order col-ex-iding in lumps
Where rhythm lends structure and rhyme patterns by
While meaning is mangled and hung out to dry
Pray let us dive deeper and throw out-side chains
'till meaningless phonemes are all that remains Each utt'rance illusion in everyone's brain
Unawarely seek meaning for each soundly saying
Wey-ho and bean the black barnacle Goes bounding in buttercups like a bunny on
springs O things I will tell of you to cast up a spell
on you To mis-step your mind with an unforeseen rhyme
We can close here get nearer to ana-ha-rchy Wrixling places to words of set grammar him
free Can we try to a listener confound we two ears
But a filter so failure we noise interferes
In a quest on we go now to play beyond words In the breakdowndries offrupping such meaningless
terms Evoliquidly mutaterising along
Like a handful of chocolate with the sun up too strong
If a careful tell toltec till tallygon treen So the welper on holodeck in mammogram spleen
Maybe too far we've sailed into seaceans unknown So it's time to head homeward to reap what
we've sewn
Wey-ho I sing we a silliness Of holy old phonemes and whimsical words
Where your brain makes connections as per nature's directions
And our mind reveals meaning even when there's none there
So if I were a tardigrade my name'd rhyme with marmalade
Your mind reveals meaning when no meaning's there
