[00:24.05]So I asked me father quite seriously
[00:26.23]
[00:27.11]to tell me the story about the bird and bee.
[00:30.67]He stammered and he stuttered pathetically.
[00:31.85]And this is what he said to me.
[00:34.78]
[00:36.15]He said the woman piaba
[00:37.97]and the man piaba

[00:57.56]And the confusion made me brain go round.
[01:00.05]
[01:00.80]I went and asked a good friend of mine,
[01:03.61]known to the world as Albert Einstein.
[01:05.86]
