There’s an obscure little song in the SCUNA songbook called Now Oh Now, and we were practicing it one time when this modified version came to me. Basso Ergo Drool.
[Early 2002]
Now, oh fuck I needs must fart
Farting for on beans I dined
Farting is an ancient art,
Unlike others much maligned.
Since I ate I must expell
Gas that forms when I digest.
Please forgive the nasty smell —
Beans from Woolworths aren’t the best.
Flatulence will drive you hence,
Loud your curses rent the air
Take, I pray you, no offense;
Wrath from you I could not bear!
