The Serengeti (Radio Play Version)
lyrics ©StormGarner2006

Martha: Oh Alfred, it's really over this time, isn't it?
Alfred: Martha dearest, let's just go to the Serengeti!
Martha:

The Serengeti
is a long way off;
your friend the long-haired Yeti
might get pissed off
to hear you telling all these tales
and swelling all these sails--
don't sell me no rip-offs.

don't sell me no rip-offs!
don't sell me no rip-offs!
don't sell me no rip-offs!
don't sell me no don't sell me no don't sell me no don't sell me no
DON'T SELL ME NO RIP-OFFS!

if you tell me something new
I'll believe that too:
why yes, I've always wanted to go to
Timbuktu
go on and tell me one more tale
swell up my near-full-blown sail
one more time and
let's take off
let's take off
but please, but please, but please:
DON'T SELL ME NO RIP-OFFS!

don't sell me no rip-offs!
don't sell me no rip-offs!
don't sell me no rip-offs!
don't sell me no don't sell me no don't sell me no don't sell me no
DON'T SELL ME NO RIP-OFFS!

now there's nothing wrong with looking
for the Holy Grail
but no point in overcooking
dreams that have gone stale
so let's get on to booking
our flights
my left brain into your right
we'll keep one another
in sight this time
and won't derail...

it's not too late to bail
it's not too late to bail
it's not too late it's not too late it's not too late it's not too late
it's not too late to bail
but we won't fail!
we won't fail....

DO inoculate
DO NOT copulate
DO inoculate
DO NOT copulate

the Serengeti
is a long way off;
your friend the long-haired Yeti
might get pissed off
to hear you telling all these tales
and swelling all these sails--
don't sell me no rip-offs!

don't sell me no rip-offs!
don't sell me no rip-offs!
don't sell me no rip-offs!
don't sell me no don't sell me no don't sell me no don't sell me no
DON'T SELL ME NO RIP-OFFS!

Alfred: Come now, Martha.
(aside) She isn't necessarily making any sense, is she now...
Martha: Oh Alfred... Shut up!
