Those Wacky Crazy Canadians
(Nutra Stick Productions, 1999)
The Stuttering Alchemist
I had an idea for a song
Not knowing if it would be short or long
All I knew was that it would end
So I showed the idea of a stuttering alchemist to a friend
And he said
"Who would want to write a song about a stuttering alchemist?
Rumple Stiltskin could do it without speech impediments
Who would want to hear a song that makes about as much sense as this?
And often people omit
Useless words like alchemist
From their vocabularies
Or they never learned anything
So this has been the song to hear
As you can see you needn't to have had fear
The Alchemist never appeared
Just for the plain reason that a stuttering alchemist would be weird
One more time
Who would want to write a song about a stuttering alchemist?
Rumple Stilkskin could do it without speech impediments
And that just shows that I am an idiot
'Cause Stiltskin wasn't an alchemist
But I needed syllables
