  Look at this #{nouns}, isn`t it neat?
  Wouldn`t you think my collection`s complete?
  Wouldn`t you think I`m the #{nouns}
  The #{nouns} who has everything?

  Look at this #{nouns}, treasures untold,
  How many wonders can one #{nouns} hold?
  #{present_verbs} around here, you`d think,
  Sure, she`s got everything

  I`ve got #{plural_nouns} and #{plural_nouns} a-plenty
  I`ve got who`s-its and what`s-its galore
  You #{verbs} thing-a-mabobs?
  I`ve got #{@number} 
  But who cares? No #{adjectives} deal. I #{verbs} more!
  I wanna be where the #{plural_nouns} are,
  I wanna see, wanna see `em #{present_verbs},
  Walkin` around on those
  Whaddya call `em? Oh, #{nouns}!

  #{present_verbs} your fins, you don`t get too far,
  Legs are required for #{present_verbs}, dancin`,
  Strollin` along down the,
  What`s that word again? #{nouns}
  Up where they #{verbs},
  Up where they run,
  Up where they stay all day in the #{nouns}!
  Wanderin` free, wish I could be,
  Part of that #{nouns}.

  What would I give, if I could live,
  Outta these #{plural_nouns}?
  What would I pay, to spend a day,
  #{adjectives} on the #{nouns}?

  Betcha on #{nouns} they understand,
  Bet they don`t reprimand their #{plural_nouns}
  Bright young #{plural_nouns}, sick of #{present_verbs}
  Ready to stand!

  And ready to know what the #{nouns} know,
  Ask `em #{adjectives} questions, and get some answers,
  What`s a #{nouns}, and why does it,
  What`s the word? #{verbs}!

  When`s it my turn?
  Wouldn`t I #{verbs}?
  #{verbs} to explore that #{nouns} up above,
  Out of #{adjectives} #{nouns}, wish I could be,
  #{verbs} of that #{nouns}
