The Computer
in Sammy's Head
Last night, when Sammy went to bed,
A computer turned on in Sammy's head.
Slugga-Slugga-Slugga...Sleep!
Chugga-Chugga-Chugga...Beep!
Upon my word,
You should have seen
Sammy's monitor
Fill up with a dream...
Chugga-Chugga-Chugga...From...
A Sugar-Sugar-Sugar... Plum!
Other people, it seems,
Were having different dreams.
So...
Sammy showed 'em
The modem
Connected to his jaw...
And he told what Sammy saw
When his brain was fogged in
And Sammy was logged in.
Bloopa-Doopa-Doopa...More!
Sloopa-Choopa-Choopa...Snore!
Sammy had Awful-Eiffel Apples
Dance inside his skull.
He won them in French raffles
And ate till he was full.
They had some special powers:
They spoke and said: "Beware us,
'Cause we are shaped like Eiffel Towers
And wanna go back to
Paris!"
Since Sammy knew
The Atlantic Ocean is very, very deep,
That's where Sammy threw
Those Awful-Eiffel Apples
in his sleep.
Awfula-Awfula-Awfula...App!
Eiffela-Eiffela-Eiffela...Zap!
Sammy saw a Bing-Bong Bush
With drumberries
on its sides.
Sammy gave a Ping-Pong Push
And beat those jungle hides.
Then the Bing-Bong Bush said:"Why
Do you beat on me so much?"
Sammy said:"It's just because I
Have got the drummer's
touch."
Binga-Binga-Binga...Bush!
Bonga-Bonga-Bonga...Whoosh!
Sammy milked a Can-Can Cow
All dancing with a flutter:
It's not hard if you know how
To spigot from the udder.
But when the Can-Can Cow
Kept dancing and wouldn't sputter,
Sammy saw that all her milk
Had slowly changed to
butter.
Canna-Canna-Canna...Udder!
Manna-Manna-Manna...Butter!
Sammy touched a Diddle-Doodle Dot
Upon a little poodle,
But the only thing the doggy got
Was trouble by the oodles:
As soon as Sammy touched that dog,
The poodle gave a cough
And barked his "Arf, Arf" monologue...
And then his tail fell off!
Diddla-Diddla-Diddla...
Tail!
Doodla-Doodla-Doodla... Fail!
Sammy tried to eat an Extra-Exit Egg,
But every time he touched the shell...
The
Extra-Exit Egg
Would grow an extra leg
And scramble off to New Rochelle.
Running away, light and breezy,
The egg would say:"I'm over easy."
Eggstra-Eggstra-Eggstra...Humpty!
Legstra-Legstra-Legstra...Jumpity!
Sammy walked in the Fee-Fye-Fo
Field,
Which was sticky with jelly
and jammy...
The field had a voice that squealed:
"Fee-Fye-Fo... I'm
squishy under Sammy!"
The Fee-Fye-Fo Field was SO
runny
In its land of Milk and Honey,
That Bricka-Bracka Bread ran
up to Sammy
And said: "I'll soak up that jelly and jammy!"
Jelly-O-Jelly-O-Jelly-O...Joke!
Belly-O-Belly-O-Belly-O...Soak!
Sammy in his little car
Drove into the Grib-Grab Garage.
But when he got his car that far,
He saw it was a Mip-Map-Mirage.
The Grib-Grab Garage
dissipated,
So Sammy sat and waited...
Until another garage felt her
Duty to come give his car
some shelter.
Gribbity-Groobbity-Grabbity...Helter!
Grabbity-Groovity-Gravity...Shelter!
Sammy walked into a Hoo-Doo
House
And said "Hello"
to a Hoo-Doo Mouse.
But neither the house nor the mouse could say:
"So Sammy, how are you doing today?"
They couldn't say: "How do you do?"
They couldn't say: "What's new with you?"
The only words they knew were two:
One was "Hoo" and
the other was "Doo."
Hoobity-Hoobity-Hoobity...Doo!
Doobity-Doobity-Dooobity...You!
Sammy sucked on Easy-Sneezy
Ice
I think he even licked some twice.
It melted in his little mouth...
In the mouth of Sammy
South.
Sammy said:"As a rule,
This ice is cool.
But what I find less appe-teasing
Is that it makes me keep on sneezing..."
Eezity-Eezity-Eezity...A few!
Sneezity-Sneezity-Sneezity...
A-choo!
Sammy swam with Jingle-Jangle Jellyfish
'Til
they became the best of friends.
The Jingle-Jangles lived inside a jelly dish...
But not too deep: they didn't want to get the bends.
Those Jellyfish swam with Jingle-Jangles
At the end of every
tentacle.
They jingled at the weirdest angles,
Maybe because their jangles
were bentacle.
The Jingle-Jangle Jellyfish, one day,
Said: "We will grant
you one wish!"
But they were surprised to hear Sammy say:
"I want a sandwich of peanut butter and
jellyfish!"
Jingly-Jingly-Jingly...Dish!
Jangly-Jangly-Jangly...Fish!
Sammy jumped all over the zoo
With his Karate-Karma
Kangaroo.
The Kangaroo said:"I can vouch
I have a black belt in my pouch!"
Just to show how strong I am,
I'm going to fight with little Sam!"
Sammy thought about the fight for a minute,
Knowing the Karate-Karma Kangaroo would win it.
Then he said: "Mr. KKK,"
Fighting's bad karma every day!"
Krotty-Krotty-Krotty...Chop!
Body-Body-Body...Shop!
Sammy saw a Little-Lentil-Lion
Just lyin'
on the ground.
He thought he heard it cryin,'
As it made this little lion sound:
"Somebody did a bungle
On me, the King of the Jungle:
I'm supposed to be tough and mean...
But I'm made of little beans!
That's the image I'm carryin':
Little-Lentil-Lion... 100% vegetarian!
Tryin-O-Tryin-O-Tryin-O...Roar!
Lion-O-Lion-O-Lion-O...Herbivore!
Sammy ate a White-and-Yellow Marshmallow Pie
That was stacked up very high
With lots of Ring-Rang
Meringue.
When Sammy chewed the meringue, it rang,
And it rang and it rang and it sang...
'Til Sammy followed
With his teeth and swallowed
The white and the yellow
Marshmallow.
Ringaboo-Ringaboo-Ringaboo...Rang!
Singafew-Singafew-Singafew...Sang!
Sammy climbed up in a nest
To take a nap and rest.
But before he got to doze...
What flew in, but:a Narrow-Nested Nose!
The Narrow-Nested Nose
said
through its narrow nostril
(With a voice that was prepostril):
"Hey, you little
human!
Why are you sitting on my albumen?"
Said Sammy:"I'm just taking a little nap."
Said the nose:"I live here, you little sap!"
So Sammy said: "Why don't you go
Like a good little nose and blow?"
Nesty-Nesty-Nesty...Nose!
Nasty-Nasty-Nasty...Blows!
Sammy
Swammy
In the Oaky-Soaky Ocean
With a gentle swimming
motion.
Sammy tasted the Oaky-Soaky water,
And the water got hotter.
When Oaky-Soaky got to his
stomach... Bloop!
t
turned itself into split-pea soup.
Oakity-Oakity-Oakity...Water!
Soakity-Soakity-Soakity...Got hotter!
Sammy saw a Pineapple Chapel
Inside his left-most brain,
And whenever the Pineapple
People went inside, it started to rain.
It rained and rained Pineapple juice
Over the ceiling and over the pews,
'Til Pineapple People got
thoroughly juiced...
Even over Sammy till his nerves synapsed...
But because of the prayer
the
Pineapple Preacher used,
The pineapple chapel never collapsed.
Piney-Piney-Piney... Apple!
Tiny-Tiny-Tiny...Chapel!
Sammy snuggled up
In a Queeny-Quiny Quilt,
Which was warm as a Fuzzy-Wuzzy
Pup
And padded like a Very-Furry Vanderbilt.
Sammy hugged the Quilt
like
a duck hugs a quack...
And the Queeny-Quiny Quilt
liked
that Snuggly-Snug
So much that the Queeny-Quiny
Quilt
squeezed
back
And gave Sammy South
a
Hacken-Smacken Hug
Queeny-Queeny-Queeny...Snuggle!
Quiny-Quiny-Quiny...Huggle!
Sammy tried to wash his hands
In the Runny-Rolly River,
But the closer he got, the more the sands
Of the Runny-Rolly River would
shiver
And run away, 'cuz the river
was shy.
If you ever felt scared, then you'll know why!
Sammy said to the River Rolly-Runny:
"I want to be your Runny-Rolly
friend!"
And the river said: "Don't try anything funny!,"
And it let Sammy wash in the River bend.
Sammy washed his hands and his Sam-Sum face.
Sammy washed apricots and pickles.
But when Sammy washed an old shoelace,
The Rolly-Runny River said:
"Stop! That tickles!"
Funnity-Funnity-Funnity...Pickles!
Runnity-Runnity-Runnity...Tickles!
Sammy jumped in a great big dish
And asked with a great big grin
If Silly-Sally Sailfish
Would give him a ride on
her fin.
Silly-Sally Sailfish said: "Of course
I'm not a horse,
But if you'd like to ride about
In this lake of Sauerkraut,
You can perch up on my fin
While I finish up this
perch."
Silly-Sally Sailfish gave a Silly-Sally grin
And swam off with a lurch.
She swam off with Sammy
To somewhere near
Silly-O-Silly-O-Silly-O...Grin!
Sally-O-Sally-O-Sally-O...Fin!
Sammy climbed up, knee by knee...
He climbed right up a Trim-Tram Tree.
Now that's a tree that moves by sails
Along its iron Trim-Tram rails.
Sammy said:"I see little shoots
Growing from your trunk so
round.
But where, oh where, are your Steep-Deep Roots
To hold you in the ground?
The Trim-Tram Tree said: "I've got no roots!
Roots are no good for a tree that scoots!
Travel on, travel on, travel I must...
I'm just a tree with wanderlust!
What a sight!
With Sammy holding on tight,
With a billow in her sails,
The Trim-Tram Tree took off on rails!
Trimmity-Trimmity-Trimmity...Rails!
Trammity-Trammity-Trammity...Sails!
Sammy looked out in the night sky
And saw a Hooey-Fooey UFO,
A flying saucer that might try
To scare you, you know.
When Sammy saw those aliens
With Pointy-Jointy Ears,
He said:"We
mammalians
Haven't seen you folks in
years!"
Aliens tried to scare Sammy South...
But Sammy was too sure of himself.
Hooey-Hooey-Hooey...UFO!
Fooey-Fooey-Fooey...You know!
Little Sammy walked among
Local Chapters of Velociraptors
And sing-sang-sung
Sing-Sang songs of dinosaur
captors.
When the Local Velociraptors
Heard all Sammy's Sing-Song chapters,
They slunk-slank slinked
Off to become extinct.
What a lark
In Jurassic Park
For Sammy:
Whammy!
Chobba-Chobba-Chobba...Chapters!
Velobba-Dobba-Dobba...Velociraptors!
Sammy waved at the Wady-Wavy
Woman
Who was wading, we're assumin,
Through a plate of Spigotty Spaghetti sauce.
She was doin' that because...
She knew Spigotty Spaghetti
sauce is good
For wading in.
Also, she thought it was something she should
Do some waving in.
So the Wady-Wavy Woman waved
back
At Sammy, then ate a stack
Of Rickety-Rackety Ravioli.
She only
Wanted to say goodbye,
Then off she went to Uruguay.
After she was gone,
The only thing left was some parmesan.
Wady-Wady-Wady...Woman!
avy-Wavy-Wavy...Zoomin'!
Sammy asked the Perplexy-Vexy
X-Ray:
"What is it that you see each day?"
The X-Ray was perplexy
And said to Sammy with vexy
Groans:
"All I ever see are bones!
I've wondered now for weeks and weeks...
When can I please see some cheeks?"
Said Sammy to the X-Ray: "Have you tried
Not to look so far inside?
Don't despair and please don't weep:
Just try not looking quite so deep!"
Plexity-Plexity-Plexity...X-Ray!
exity-Vexity-Vexity...Next day!
Sammy sniffed some Yodel-Yellow Yogurt
That had a voice like Humprey
Bogart:
"Eat me, Sammy, and you will see
That you can Yodel-Yellow,
like me!"
So Sammy ate that Yodel-Yellow Yogurt down
And started yodeling all
over town.
Everything Sammy touched (hot or cold)
Turned a Yodel-Yellow color
of gold.
Then Sammy ate a Creamy-Crummy Caramel
Made of cream and milk and eggular...
And all the colors went back to normal:
Everything was back to regular.
Creemity-Creemity-Creemity...
Yellow!
Crummity-Crummity-Crummity...Mellow!
Sammy visited the Zig-Zag Zoo
Where everybody zig-zags: me
and you
And even the donkeys and even the pigs
Walk in zags and walk in zigs.
There are no straight-line zig-zag
paths;
Turtles swim in zig-zag baths.
Monkeys
zig-zag through the trees,
And elephants are cooled by the zig-zag
breeze.
Sammy ate popcorn from a bag,
But it went to his mouth with a zig...
and a zag.
Ziggy-Ziggy-Ziggy...Zoo!
Zaggy-Zaggy-Zaggy...You!
These are a few of the trillion things...
Things the slip-sloop-sleepster
brings
Into Sammy's computer head
When he is dreaming in his
bed.
Sammy, I hope it wasn't hard to share
The trillion things you have in there!
But... what things will come to Sammy
Next time he puts on his pajammy?
Pajammy-Jammy-Jammy...Mouth!
Sammy-Sammy-Sammy... South!
