This is for the pub quiz
Put your thinking cup on, time is ticking by
The first round is on you, you who is buying
The skin of the Polar Bear is black, you know
One of those things by chance, you know
You pick up along the way, like novelty gifts
And one wonders
Dear, dear , dear
Oh how so intriguing
Fascinating,
What do you know, mine, mine
What do you know, till the penny drops
Let me talk you
Through the pub quiz
Rules of engagement,
No contraband
iPhone, smart phone, blackberry
Google search, allowed
You see, I sat down by chance
On coincident and watched a ballerina
Move like she danced for the gods
I loved it dearly into an infatuation
I am now a fun, like that of football craze
Oh mine what do you know
Did you know that the human eye
Blinks 4,200,000 times a year
Wait what did I miss
Diamonds are 100 percent carbon
Would global warming w' increase in carbon
Make them cheaper to get, I wonder
What is my carbon foot print
For the life of me, for my life to be
And my life time, wondering minds on overdrive
The human body in ash form
"Of course cremated, what a question
Get me that drink", can be turned into diamond
Did you know that
Just one of those things one
Pick up along the way, so where is the drink
So what is my worth
98 percent of the dead in Japan
Shikimoto and all the others are cremated
Guess that just simplifies
Things to be done for the land use
We can all do without the confusion
A diamond necklace with sparkle
Or a grave stone estate
Either way the end is in a box
Where is my pint, dry throat, dry throat
I thought this was meant to be
A pub quiz, where is my pint of beer
