When you walk through the garden
You gotta watch your back
Well, I beg your pardon
Walk the straight and narrow track
If you walk with Jesus
He's gonna save your soul
You gotta keep the devil
Way down in the hole

Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe
And he keeps it out of sight

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to Heaven
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to Heaven

Hello, is this the White House? It is? That’s great! Ummm… yeah, well, I’d like to report an example of some serious antisemitism at the Coast Guard. I’m sure you’ll want to begin combating it as soon as possible.

So the genius who brags about being able to identify a drawing of an elephant and repeat the words “person, woman, man, camera, tv” knows which door leads to his office.
