It`s going to happen very soon. 
The great event which will end the horror. 
Which will end the sorrow. 
Next Tuesday, when the sun goes down,
I will play the Moonlight Sonata backwards. 

This will reverse the effects of the world`s mad plunge into suffering, 
For the last 200 million years. 
What a lovely night that would be. 
What a sigh of relief, as the senile robins become bright red again, 

And the retired nightingales, 
Pick up their dusty tails, 
And assert the majesty of creation!
