Africa

Mr. Poet who was a sophisticated parasol it was a parasol
Paprika parachute sophisticated Mr. Poet out on the prairie
Summer’s, if it’s a parasol, it would run, summer’s.
African vegetarian African vegetarian
Parachute prairie clouds are Mr. Poet in Africa laterite
Mr. Poet if so how sophisticated
Giraffe’s viridian’s giraffe’s viridian’s giraffe’s viridian
Also
Parachute of the African road we drive in our jeep falling umbrella
Africa falling vegetarian, vegetarian viridian, pilaf
Put on Tabasco don’t put on Tabasco pilaf afternoon
Ketchup Tabasco ketchup Tabasco ketchup Tabasco

It was a parachute so drive and there’s pepper sauce
It was a prairie it was summer vegetarian viridian, sum
