The End of The Song

This is the most exciting thing that's ever happened to me Polynesia

I can't wait to start

It's incredible, it's impossible but it's true

A man can talk to foreigners

It's a miracle in a year from now I guarantee

I’ll be the marvel of the British

Playing chess with Yiddish

No more just a  boring old study

I’ll study every single teacher’s language

So i could speak to all of them on sight

If friends say can he talk in slang in Mexican

You‘ll say you’ll bet he can

And you would be right

And if you just stop to think of it

There's no doubt of it

I shall win place in history

I can walk with the Foreigners, talk with the Foreigners,
Grunt and squeak and squawk with the Foreigners,
And they can squeak and squawk  and speak and talk to me!

More of the Song

I conferred with our lovely friends, Han to Foreigner,
Think of the amazing repartee
If I could walk with the Foreigners, talk with the Foreigners,
Grunt and squeak and squawk with the Foreigners,
And they could talk to me!

If I consulted with A to Zed
Think what fun we'd have asking over petty girls for tea!
Or maybe lunch with two or three Irish, Welsh misses and North Irish
What a lovely place the world would be!

If I spoke slang to Canadians
The advantages any fool on earth could plainly see!
Discussing Eastern art and dramas
With intellectual mamas
That's a big step forward you'll agree!

I'd learn to speak in Icelandic and Turkish
My Cantonese would be extremely good
If I were asked to sing in Scottish dialect
I'd say “oh what the heck!" and would!

If I could parlay with wacky dames
It's a fairy tale worthy of Hans Anderson and Grimm
A girl/guy who walks with the Foreigners, talks with the Foreigners
Grunts and squeaks and squawks with the Foreigners

I started to chant when I reached the second line and laughed for quite a while, you are brilliant, Scotch Martin!

So good Martin - I don't when you got time to do this today - we're so busy getting ready for the trip. I'm so surprised. We should record the song.

The song I haven't tried yet but it should fit the original song from the original film 

'If I could talk to the animals" - maybe it needs a little adjustment so try and feedback.

A little cartoon to say farewell for a few weeks and thank a lovely Choonie for all her work.
