[English]

why it's the paperwork to separate you

two it's really incredible I can

actually see the end of your friendship

and it ends right here on this dotted

run George

do something

but to pin down mr. Krupp or will

hypnotize you what what you said do

something what is that the Lord's from

the molten plastic of shim dog China

from the lowest floor of the darkest

basement were only toy prizes dare be

made exist the most powerful island ever

to be found in the box of frosted sugar

noodles no hypnotize me with that piece

of plastic what do you think I'm warning

you if you don't do what we say you're

gonna get really sleepy Oh will I

I'll get sleepy with that thing boy it's

not making me see

I reckon it's classic hookah mistakes

what was that I don't know how's even

think that what happened

gotcha you're safe now little turtle

when I snap my fingers you will obey our

every command wait how do you know this

I don't know just say the first thing

that comes to my mind with great

authority you are now a chicken

sidekick sidekick this planet is safe

under my watchful eye let's see what's

afoot wait mouth

well that was invigorating we gotta stop

him thank you vehicle person we should

probably go get him

[Music]
