Danger Mouse admires MC RAY AND THE 2 BLU CREW as they rap out a version
of _Happy_Birthday_ for Bill.

"That's a good prelude to what I wrote over the weekend. Yes, I was bored
again, and took out Dr Suess's masterpiece _Fox_in_Socks_ to see what I
could make of it this time. I came up with the _Fox_in_Socks_Rap_."

DM gestures to MC RAY, who wanders over. They confer quietly for a minute,
then DM hands RAY a sheet of paper. RAY walks back over to the 2 BLU CREW
and discusses the paper with them.

"Okay," says RAY, turning back to DM, "We'll do it."

The 2 BLU CREW adjust their beat-boxes to deliver an appropriate background
beat, and RAY grabs the microphone and sings:

Hey, see right here, it's my man Fox!
Hey, see right here, he's got some socks!
Hey, look right here at this here box!
Hey, look right here, it's my man Knox!
Now look at Knox, he's in that box.
Now look at Fox, he's in them socks.
Hey, Knox on Fox in socks in box.
And now socks on Knox and Knox in box.
I say, Fox in socks on box on Knox!

Now chicks with bricks are gettin' down.
Now chicks with blocks are gettin' down.
Now chicks with bricks are all aroun'
and bringin' blocks and clocks to town.
Look, man! Look, man! Mr Knox, man!
Let's do raps with bricks and blocks, man.
Let's do raps with chicks and clocks, man.
First I'll say some quick trick brick rap.
Then I'll say some quick trick block rap.
You can do some quick trick chick rap.
You can do some quick trick clock rap.

And here's a new rap, Mr Knox...
Socks on chicks and chicks on Fox,
Fox on clocks on bricks and blocks,
bricks and blocks on Knox in box!
Now we gonna rap 'bout ticks and tocks, man.
Now you gonna try to rap this, Knox, man.
The clocks on Fox, they goin' tick.
The clocks on Knox, they goin' tock.
I see six sick bricks a-tickin'.
I see six sick chicks a-tockin'.

          Hey, man, this rap's just bad news, man.
          My tongue just can't use the clues, man.
          I get all those ticks and clocks, man,
          mixed up with the chicks and tocks, man.
          I can't rap it, Mr Fox, man.

That's so nasty, Mr Knox, man.
It's time to get your hands a-clappin'.
Here's an easy thing for rappin'.

New socks, new socks, new socks, yeah!
Two socks, whose socks, Sue's socks, yeah!
Socks are sewn now, whose by who?
Socks are sewn now, Sue's by Sue!
Who sees who sew whose new socks, man?
You see Sue sew Sue's new socks, man!

          Rappin' that ain't easy, Fox, man.

Now look right here, someone's a-comin'.
It's a crow, Slow Joe Crow's a-comin'.
Now who's that sewin' the Crow's clothes?
It's Sue that's sewin' the Crow's clothes!
Slow Joe Crow sews whose clothes? Sue's clothes!
Now Sue sews socks of Fox in socks.
Now Slow Joe Crow sews Knox in box.
Hey see this Sue, she's sewin' a rose
on to Slow Joe Crow-dude's clothes.
Now watch this Fox, I's sewin' a hose
on to Slow Joe Crow-dude's nose.
This here hose goes, that there rose grows.
Nose hose goes some, Crow's rose grows some!

          Mr Fox, this rap is lame, man.
          Rappin' this is no fun game, man.

Mr Knox, dude, what a shame, man.

Let's just find somethin' new to do.
Hey look at this, it's new blue goo!
New goo. Blue goo. Gooey. Gooey.
Blue goo. New goo. Gluey. Gluey.
This gooey goo, it's for chewy chewin'.
See that Goo-Goose? It's what he's doin'.
You wanna choose to chew goo too, man?
Hey, man, if, man, you wanna chew, man,
like that Goo-Goose, hey, chew, man, do, man!

          Mr Fox, dude, I ain't doin' it.
          I ain't rappin' it. I ain't chewin' it.

Well that's cool man, just step this way.
We'll find a neater rap to say.

B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-Bim comes!
B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-Ben comes!
I say, a-Bim a-brings a-Ben a-broom!
I say, a-Ben a-brings a-Bim a-broom!

B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-Bim's bends!
B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-Ben's bends!
I say, Ben's! Bent! Broom! Breaks!
I say, Bim's! Bent! Broom! Breaks!
Ben's band! Bim-Bim-Bim-Bim-Bim's band!
Big bands! Pig-pig-pig-pig-pig bands!
Bim and Ben, they lead bands with brooms!
Ben's band bangs and Bim's band b-b-booms!

          Pig and boom bands! Big and broom bands!
          My poor mouth can't rap that. No, man.
          My poor mouth is much too slow, man.

Well stop your fussin', come this way.
I'll find a rap that you can say.

Luke Luck's my man, and he likes lakes.
Luke's duck's my duck, and he likes lakes.
My man Luke Luck, he licks them lakes.
My duck Luke's duck, he licks them lakes.
My duck, he licks them lakes Luke likes.
My man, he licks them lakes duck likes.

          I can't rap such blibber blubber!
          My tongue sure ain't made of rubber.

Mr Knox, man, get it together,
or else this rap'll go on forever.
Try and rap this, Mr Knox, dude...

I say, through. Three. Cheese. Trees.
There flew. Three. Free. Fleas.
And while these here fleas did flew,
a freezy cold-type breeze did blew.
This here freezy breeze done made
these here three cheese trees done freeze.
Then these freezy trees done made
these three cheese trees' cheese done freeze.
And I say, that's what done made these three
free cheese tree flyin' fleas done sneeze.

          Stop it! Stop it! That's enough, man.
          I can't rap such heinous stuff, man.

Right you are, then, Mr Knox, man.
Let's have a little rap about tweetle beetles...

Now I'm askin' you, man, what do you know
about tweetle beetles? Well...

When tweetle beetles get in a fight,
it's called a tweetle. B-Beetle. B-B-Battle.

And when they battle, in a puddle,
it's a tweetle. B-Beetle. P-P-Puddle. B-B-B-Battle.

AND when tweetle beetles battle, with their paddles in a puddle,
they call it a tweetle. B-Beetle. P-P-Puddle. P-P-P-Paddle. B-B-B-B-Battle.
AND...

When beetles battle beetles, in a puddle paddle battle,
and the beetle battle puddle, is a puddle in a bottle...
...they call this a tweetle. B-Beetle. B-B-Bottle.
P-P-P-Puddle. P-P-P-P-Paddle. B-B-B-B-B-Battle. M-M-M-M-M-M-Muddle.
AND...

When b-beetles fight these b-b-b-b-b-battles in a b-b-bottle
with their p-p-p-p-paddles and the b-b-bottle's on a poodle
and the poodle's eating noodles...
...they call this one, Mr Knox, dude,
a muddle puddle, I say, muddle, I say, puddle,
tweetle poodle, I say tweetle, I say, poodle,
beetle noodle, I say beetle, I say, noodle,
bottle, I say, bottle paddle battle.
AND...

            Now stop this rappin', Mr socks Fox!
            When a fox is in the bottle
            where the tweetle beetles battle
            with their paddles in a puddle
            on a noodle-eating poodle,
            THIS is what they call...
            ...a tweetle beetle noodle poodle
            bottled paddled muddled duddled
            fuddled wuddled Fox in socks, man!

            Fox in socks, our rap is done, dude.
            Thank you for some most excellent fun, dude.

RAY finishes the song, to the thunderous applause of the patrons...
