(An old favorite of the Long Patrol, from their Salamandastron Dance days.)
"Some silly words go here, oh yes!
Some silly words go here
Like fizzle, fozzle, swizzle, swozzle,
Fric an' frac an' freer
So say your silly words, wot wot!
Shout 'em loud 'n' clear,
Then toddle off an' toodle pip,
An' have some tea, m'dear!
"Then dance a silly dance to do
Your silly words right proud
Whirl, twirl, swirl, fwirl,
That'll draw a crowd!
Kick up high to touch the sky
Then bring 'er down again
I haven't had such fun, not since
I can't remember when
"It's pitter-pat and clitter-clat
An' hoosker-doo-la-roo
Chitter-chat, an' this an' that
And tickety-boo to you!
Mix 'n' match a fine mishmash
Hubbub an' hullaballoo
Then add a dash of balderdash
Claptrap an' ballyhoo
"Babble on an' burble on
An' ramble on as well
Chunner on until the dawn
You just can never tell
Bruhaha an' fruhaha
That faintly rings a bell
Whomp an' clomp an' stomp an' romp
Then give a yell, m'gel!
"Some words are just too silly
They simply should not be
Like shroom-a-room an' floom-a-toom
Who'd talk like that? Not me!
I like my nonsense sensible
'Cos I'm a hare, you see
So spare me your hornswoggle
An' I'll go on merrily!
"So bally-ho an' jolly-wot
An' wot! wot! wot! some more
As I bloomin', blinkin' slide
Across the dancehall floor
These spiffin', spankin', flippin' words
I truly do adore
That's why you'll hear us Long Patrol
Speak thus forever more!"
