[00:01:49] Ich bin Maroon

[00:01:53] Ah you're a sofa

[00:01:57] Once upon a time way back a long time ago

[00:02:02] When the universe consisted

[00:02:03] Of nothing more elaborate than

[00:02:04] Mark Volman thank you Frank

[00:02:06] Trying to convince each and every member

[00:02:08] Of this extremely hip audience here tonight

[00:02:10] That he was nothing more nothing less

[00:02:13] Than a fat maroon sofa

[00:02:15] Suspended in the midst of a great emptiness

[00:02:18] A light shined down from heaven

[00:02:26] And there he was ladies and gentleman

[00:02:28] The good Lord and he took

[00:02:30] He took a look at the sofa

[00:02:32] And he said to himself

[00:02:35] "Quite an attractive sofa"

[00:02:37] "This sofa could be commercial"

[00:02:43] With a few more Margaritas

[00:02:44] And the right company

[00:02:48] However I digress

[00:02:51] "What this sofa needs" said the Big 'G'

[00:02:56] "Is a bit of flooring underneath of it"

[00:02:58] And so in order to make this construction project possible

[00:03:05] He summoned the assistance of the celestial corp of engineers

[00:03:11] And by means of a cute little song in the German language

[00:03:16] Which is the way he talks whenever it's heavy business

[00:03:21] The good Lord went something like this

[00:03:25] Take it away Jim Pons

[00:03:28] Gib zu mir etwas Fussbodenbelag

[00:03:37] Unter diesen fetten fliessenden sofa

[00:03:43] Everybody

[00:03:44] Gib zu mir etwas Fussbodenbelag

[00:03:50] Unter diesen fetten fliessenden sofa

[00:03:57] And of course ladies and gentlemen that means

[00:04:00] Give unto me a bit of flooring under this fat floating sofa

[00:04:05] And sure enough boards of oak appeared

[00:04:08] Throughout the emptiness as far as vision permits

[00:04:11] Stretching all the way from Belfast to Bogner Regis

[00:04:16] And the Lord put aside his huge cigar

[00:04:20] And proceeded to deliver unto the charming

[00:04:25] Maroonish sofa the bulk of his message

[00:04:28] With the assistance of a small electric clarinet

[00:04:33] And it went something like this
