  • @Tnovak1000 This song has existed for far longer, lol

  • This song is exactly like the elements song by Tom Lehrer!

  • @mandygracerox101 ya so can I, but I know more tongue twisters, ever tried the Sorcerer John Wellington Wells?

  • "I'm very good at integral

    and differential calculus

    I know the scientific names of

    beings animalculus,

    In short in matters vegetable

    animal and mineral I am the very model

    of a modern major general."

    Yay I know almost one verse by memory!

  • I wonder you can sing this song so fast. 

  • @mandygracerox101 I have some of it memorized, it would take a real effort to get the whole number memorized. Good work! :)

  • @mandygracerox101

    You are the very model of a wordy antiquarian.

  • @Elementlmage Yes - there's one "patter song" in each operetta. And it takes a brilliant singer to bring it off.

    Maybe wit is beyond you?
