Ladies and Gentlemen, hobos and tramps, crossed eyed misquotes and bowlegged ants, I come before you to stand behind you to tell you something I know nothing about. Last night around 3 o'clock this morning a truck fully loaded with half loaded bricks rolled down my back alley and half killed my poor dead cat. I rushed to the hospital to see him sitting at a round square cornered table eating vinegar with a fork.
I love this and we kind of have a german version of it.
Dunkel war's, der Mond schien helle
Als ein Wagen blitzeschnelle
Langsam um die Ecke fuhr
Morgens früh um 16 Uhr
Drinnen saßen stehend Leute
Schweigend ins Gespräch vertieft
Als ein totgeschoss'ner Hase
Auf der Sandbank Schlittschuh lief
.
It was dark, and the moon was shining bright
When a fast car turned a corner oh so slowly
Early in the morning at 4pm
Inside were sitting people, standing,
Silently engaged in conversations,
While a shot rabbit
Was ice skating on a sandbank.
I heard this version:
One bright day, in middle of the night,
Two dead boys got up to fight.
Back to back they faced each other,
Drew their swords and shot each other.
The deaf policeman heard the noise
And came and shot the two dead boys.
If you dont believe what I say is true,
Go ask the blind man, he saw it too.
