Here, here! Here, I've just seen a man with a lemon stuck in his ear! A lemon stuck in his ear! So I went up to him, I said: ‘What are you doing with that lemon stuck in your ear?’ and he says: ‘Well, you know that man with a hearing aid—well, I'm the man with the lemonade.’ Thank you for that burst of heavy breathing. You should have heard what James Agate said about me!

And say: They made no fuss—

Yes, this was their finest shower!
Thank God we're normal, normal, normal,
Thank God we're normal,
Yes, this is our finest shower!
