[06:14.29]And the word spread about him on the radios and TV's [06:17.55]In appropriately sober tone they asked [06:20.41]Who can it be [06:25.80] [06:29.50]He was a very dull boy very taciturn [06:33.54] [06:34.29]Not much of a joiner he did not want to learn [06:38.22]No no [06:39.62] [06:43.12]No no [06:44.76] [06:47.91]They're coming to get me they don't want to let me [06:51.74]
