Okay. This is hit #3, "Only the Slow Die Young" to the tune of "Only the
Good Die Young" by Billy Joel.

Come on, have mercy, let's go now Twoflower,
We've walked through this city for nearly an hour,
The looks I'm getting are becoming sour:
I'm thinking that we should run.
Uh oh, they're coming; they've got spears and knives,
I think around now we should run for our lives,
And now I believe it is safe to surmise:
Our touristing days are done.
Only the slow DIE YOUNG, Only the slow die young.
Here is a shed, let's bolt inside,
(There is a science in just where to hide)
Now aren't you glad you've got me as a guide;
So what if we're standing in dung.
Oh good they've passed us, I prayed that they would,
Now just look natural, okay that's good,
Yeah, I'd wipe my shoes off too if I could;
But I never said this'd be fun.
And only the slow DIE YOUNG, only the slow die young.
We've got a five-minute head start and we've almost got past the villas!
If you don't slow,
Then I know where to go,
And if we hide in the woods then I don't think they can find or kill us!
I can't figure out why they want us both dead,
Was it something you or I said?
But they can't catch us now; we're too far ahead
And thank the gods that is done.
And only the slow DIE YOUNG, only the slow die young.
Yes I'm glad that's over and I wonder what we'll do for dinner
You remembered? Oh great! Oh,
I wouldn't suppose that we have potatoes?
