THE CONE OF SILENCE
Sung to the tune of 'the sound of silence'
{1}
Hello Chief, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
About a mission so secret
It'll be hard to keep quiet
So I suggest the one thing we can do
We'll review
Inside the Cone of Silence
{2}
You say no, it doesn't work
I point out it's just a quirk
I tell you that it's a great device
In your office it looks very nice
And besides it's right here in the rules
We must use
The faithful Cone of Silence
{3}
You say 'absolutely not!
Only havoc it has wrought.
I say 'I will not be denied
My request is justified
If you want to talk I will refuse
Unless we use
My favorite Cone of Silence'
{4}
You explain 'it's hard to hear
So pay attention, give an ear.'
I didn't quite get what you said
So I shrug and shake my head
'Did you say that you wanted a beer?
Can't drink in here,
Not in the Cone of Silence.'
{5}
We talk like that for quite a while
On your face is not a smile
'In here I cannot hear a sound
Let us stop all this messing around
I do not care if it is in the rules!
We were fools
To use the Cone of Silence'
