This pencil's got a nice feel to it,
It never runs out of lead,
And it looks like others in our hands,
It writes crazy things instead.

And the great communicator,
Can park across the yard.

Like something's got a hold of you
Like something's got a hold of you
Like something's got a hold of you
Like something's got a hold of you
Like something's got a hold of you
Like something's
