CIn a deep dark Fjungle Clong time aFgo

CLived a lonesome Fcaveman

CChewing meat from Fbones.

CHe only knew how to Fgroan

 Then he A♯lifted up his hands and Freached to the sky

CLet out a yell and Gmno one replied.

 FA♯rustration and torment Ftore him inside

 Then he Cfell to the groGmund and he crCied and he crGmied.

 But then Deducation Csaved the day.

AmHe learned to speak and Gcommunicate

C'Cos everybody needs an Feducation

CEverybody needs an Feducation.
