Aldiborontiphoscophornio, where left you Chrononhotonthologos? Fatigued within his tent by the spoils of war, on downy couch reposing, Rigdumfunidos watching near him, while the prince is dozing. Aldiborontiphoscophornio, Chrononhotonthologos, Aldiborontiphoscophornio, Chrononhotonthologos, Chrononhotonthologos, Chrononhotonthologos. [Repeat several times, each time faster and faster]
