"When I was quite young and quite small for my size, I met an old man in the desert of Drize. And he sang me a song I will never forget. At least, well, I haven’t forgotten it yet.
He sat in a terribly prickly place. But he sang with a sunny sweet smile on his face.
When you think things are bad, when you feel sour and blue, when you start to get mad… you should do what I do!
Just tell yourself, Duckie, you’re really quite lucky! Some people are much more… oh, ever so much more… oh, muchly much-much more unlucky than you!"
and quite small for my size,
I met an old man in the desert of Drize.
And he sang me a song I will never forget.
At least, well, I haven’t forgotten it yet.
He sat in a terribly prickly place.
But he sang with a sunny sweet smile on his face.
When you think things are bad,
when you feel sour and blue,
when you start to get mad…
you should do what I do!
Just tell yourself, Duckie,
you’re really quite lucky!
Some people are much more…
oh, ever so much more…
oh, muchly much-much more
unlucky than you!"
