Theme: Homophony

lyrics

The merchant pedals to town where he peddles his wares
A suite of sweet food next to things you can wear
Clothes old and new, then a woman he knew
Comes to buy pairs of pears, and two tu-tus too.

Under a knot in a bough a man issues a bow
Says "wise baron, this field is barren now I know not how"
With a wry groan, "Why's no rye grown?
Can't make flour when nothing will flower"

CHORUS
We're sentenced to these sentences
But there there, they're their own reward, he said
You can hear them here, or join in instead
And as the words whirred through your head
You've mined your mind for others you've heard read
But you see red

Sir you must air a complaint ere you err by your heir
He bored hunting boar, rode out bareback and brough a pet bear back
Now we pray it won't choose us for prey
As it chews bones of eight men it ate yesterday

The coward cowered, then was threw through a bayside window
A spectator sees the seas seize him
They've seen the scene lapse: As the sea laps
He sinks like lead, led down the world whirled up over his head

-CHORUS-

On the English language, here's my two cents
The sentence that will follow this has no right to make sense:

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo (x8)

*That's Buffalo, the city in New York , buffalo, the animal otherwise known as a bison, and buffalo, the little used verb meaning to outwit, intimidate, or baffle. And for those of you thinking I should have stopped after eight buffalo, no! Any number of times you repeat the word buffalo in a row, the sentence still bloody makes sense - look it up! /Sigh. Alright, one more chorus and then we're done*

-CHORUS-
