lyrics

When the kilogram of gold fell in the yard the other day, it knocked the downspout off of the gutter. Using the method of Archimedes, well, we measured it in the tub, and we’re pretty sure that it’s pretty pure. When the kilogram of gold fell in the yard the other day, it left a slightly unsightly crater. Astronomers say that the heavier elements can only be forged in a supernova. In a couple of days we’ll, maybe, get an appraisal. I thought that you might like to have a pinky ring, girlfriend. You always said that just a little bling can go a long way. Isn’t that what you always say? - So yeah, a kilogram of gold fell in the yard the other day. You’d think that it might be worth a fortune, so naturally, we looked it up on Wikipedia, and yeah, it’s worth about thirty grand - I mean, we’re pretty sure that it’s pretty pure. Who knows? Maybe we’ll clear off a shelf and just park it. Let us know if you’re on the market for more or less a kilogram of gold.
