So longa Tonga soggidie moke
And higgity jiggity soggidie poke,
So often, body, I'd better walk
All on the Tongo Island.

Well, a maid was fair, you might suppose;
She had great feathers in her nose,
And finger rings all on her toes,
All on the Tongo Island.


(Mr. Ferrell: "That's just about all of it I know."
Dr. Wolf: "Well, that's good.")
