Passing through the corridor I came upon an aging knight[00:10:04]

Who leaned against the wall in gnarly armor[00:10:04]

He was on his way to see the king[00:10:04]

Wilson, Wilson, Wilson[00:10:04]

He led me through the streets of Prussia talking[00:10:04]

As he tried to crush a bug[00:10:04]

That scurried underneath his boot heel[00:10:04]

He said there was a place where we should go[00:10:04]

So he lead me through the forest to the edge of a lagoon by which[00:10:04]

We wandered 'til we reached a bubbly spring[00:10:04]

The knight grew very quiet as we stood there[00:10:04]

Then he lifted up his visor and he turned to me and he began to sing[00:10:04]

He said, "I come from the land of darkness"[00:10:04]

I said, "I come from the land of doom"[00:10:04]

He said, "I come from the land of Gamehendge[00:10:04]

From the land of the big baboon[00:10:04]

But I'm never, never going back there[00:10:04]

And I couldn't if I tried[00:10:04]

'Cause I come from the land of lizards[00:10:04]

And the lizards they have died[00:10:04]

And the lizards they have died[00:10:04]

And the lizards they have died[00:10:04]

And the lizards they have"[00:10:04]

He told me that the lizards[00:10:04]

Were a race of people practically extinct[00:10:04]

From doing things smart people don't do[00:10:04]

He said that he was once a lizard too[00:10:04]

His name was Rutherford the Brave[00:10:04]

And he was on a quest to save[00:10:04]

His people from the fate that lay before them[00:10:04]

Their clumsy end was perilously near[00:10:04]

The lizards would be saved, he said, if they could be enlightened[00:10:04]

By the writings of the Helping Friendly Book[00:10:04]

In all of Prussia only one existed[00:10:04]

And Wilson had declared that any person who possessed it was a crook[00:10:04]

He said, "I come from the land of darkness"[00:10:04]

I said, "I come from the land of doom"[00:10:04]

He said, "I come from the land of Gamehendge[00:10:04]

From the land of the big baboon[00:10:04]

But I'm never, never going back there[00:10:04]

And I couldn't if I tried[00:10:04]

'Cause I come from the land of lizards[00:10:04]

And the lizards they have died[00:10:04]

And the lizards they have died[00:10:04]

And the lizards they have died[00:10:04]

And the lizards they have"[00:10:04]

The Helping Friendly Book, it seemed[00:10:04]

Possessed the ancient secrets[00:10:04]

Of eternal joy and never-ending splendor[00:10:04]

The trick was to surrender to the flow[00:10:04]

We walked along beneath the moon[00:10:04]

He lead us through the bush 'till soon[00:10:04]

We saw before our eyes a raging river[00:10:04]

He said that we could swim it if we tried[00:10:04]

And saying this the knight dove in forgetting that his suit of arms[00:10:04]

Would surely weigh him down and so he sunk[00:10:04]

And as his body disappeared before me[00:10:04]

I bowed my head in silence[00:10:04]

And remembered all the thoughts that he had thunk[00:10:04]

He said, "I come from the land of darkness"[00:10:04]

I said, "I come from the land of doom"[00:10:04]

He said, "I come from the land of Gamehendge[00:10:04]

From the land of the big baboon[00:10:04]

But I'm never, never going back there[00:10:04]

And I couldn't if I tried[00:10:04]

'Cause I come from the land of lizards[00:10:04]

And the lizards they have"[00:10:04]
