- Can't remember where I first heard this:
-
- (After the song 'Show me the way to go home')
-
- Oh, indicate the route to my abode,
- I am fatigued and desirous of repose.
- I imbibed a minor shnifter approximately 60 minutes ago,
- And it's ascended to my cranial extremity
-
- ...
-
- Damn, can't remember the second verse, but doesn't it have the phrase
- 'wheresoever I might peripitetically perambulate' in it ...? Perhaps someone
- can fill in the rest
