Perfect Sense, Part I
 
 The monkey sat on a pile of stone
 And stared at the broken bone in his hand
 Strains of a Viennese quartet rang out across the land
 And the monkey looked up at the stars
 And he thought to himself
 Memory is a stranger
 History is for fools
 And he cleaned his hands in a pool of holy writing
 Turned his back on the garden and set out for the nearest town
 Hold on hold on soldier
 When you add it all up
 The tears and the marrowbone
 There's an ounce of gold
 And an ounce of pride in each ledger
 And the Germans killed the Jews
 And the Jews killed the Arabs
 And the Arabs killed the hostages
 And that is the news
 And is it any wonder that the monkey's confused

 Hold on, hold on soldier
 Darling is the child warm in the bed tonight
 (Marv Albert:) "Hi everybody I'm Marv Albert
 And welcome to our telecast
 Coming to you live from Memorial Stadium
 It's a beautiful day
 And today we expect a sensational matchup
 But first our global anthem"
 Can't you see
 It all makes perfect sense
 Expressed in dollars and cents,
 Pounds, shillings and pence
 Can't you see
 It all makes perfect sense
 (Marv:) "And here come the players
 As I speak to you now, the captain
 Has his cross hairs zeroed in on the oil rig
 It looks to me like he's going to attack
 By the way did you know that a submarine
 Captain earns 200,000 dollars a year"
 (Edward:)"That's less tax Marv"
 (Marv:)"Yeah, less tax
 Thank you Edward"
 (Edward:)"Yo
