| Passing through the corridor I came upon an aging knight | |
| Who leaned against the wall in gnarly armor | |
| He was on his way to see the king | |
| Wilson Wilson Wilson | |
| He led me through the streets of Prussia talking | |
| As he tried to crush a bug that scurried underneath his boot heel | |
| He said there was a place where we should go | |
| So he lead me through the forest to the edge of a lagoon by which | |
| We wandered 'til we reached a bubbly spring | |
| The knight grew very quiet as we stood there | |
| Then he lifted up his visor and he turned to me and he began to sing | |
| He said I come from the land of darkness | |
| He said I come from the land of doom | |
| He said I come from the land of Gamehendge | |
| From the land of the big baboon | |
| But I'm never never going back there | |
| And I couldn't if I tried | |
| 'Cause I come from the land of Lizards | |
| And the Lizards they have died | |
| And the Lizards they have died | |
| And the Lizards they have died | |
| And the Lizards they have died | |
| He told me that the Lizards were a race of people practically extinct | |
| From doing things smart people don't do | |
| He said that he was once a Lizard too | |
| His name was Rutherford the Brave and he was on a quest to save | |
| His people from the fate that lay before them. | |
| Their clumsy end was perilously near | |
| The Lizards would be saved, he said, if they could be enlightened | |
| By the writings of the Helping Friendly Book | |
| In all of Prussia only one existed | |
| And Wilson had declared that any person who possessed it was a crook | |
| He said I come from the land of darkness | |
| He said I come from the land of doom | |
| He said I come from the land of Gamehendge | |
| From the land of the big baboon | |
| But I'm never never going back there | |
| And I couldn't if I tried | |
| 'Cause I come from the land of Lizards | |
| And the Lizards they have died | |
| And the Lizards they have died | |
| And the Lizards they have died | |
| And the Lizards they have died | |
| The Helping Friendly Book, it seemed, possessed the ancient secrets | |
| Of eternal joy and never-ending splendor | |
| The trick was to surrender to the flow | |
| We walked along beneath the moon | |
| He lead us through the bush 'till soon | |
| We saw before our eyes a raging river | |
| He said that we could swim it if we tried | |
| And saying this the knight dove in forgetting that his suit of arms | |
| Would surely weigh him down and so he sunk | |
| And as his body disappeared before me | |
| I bowed my head in silence and remembered all thoughts that he had thunk | |
| He said I come from the land of darkness | |
| He said I come from the land of doom | |
| He said I come from the land of Gamehendge | |
| From the land of the big baboon | |
| But I'm never never going back there | |
| And I couldn't if I tried | |
| 'Cause I come from the land of Lizards | |
| And the Lizards they have died | |
| And the Lizards they have died | |
| And the Lizards they have died | |
| And the Lizards they have died |
