‘My tummy’s got troubles; it’s fizzing with bubbles
And frightening gurgles abound!’
The doctor said ‘Curry’s the cause of your worries,
It’s not a significant sound.’
‘My car’s going clatter! Whatever’s the matter?’
I asked the mechanic, who found
A cigarette packet was causing the racket;
‘It’s not a significant sound.’
A murmur was keeping my missus from sleeping,
So I got an exorcist round.
He told me ‘That humming is only the plumbing;
It’s not a significant sound.’
Outside there’s some liar who’s screaming out ‘fire!’
To get me to climb to the ground,
But now I’m too knowing; I just keep on going
‘It’s not a significant sound. It’s not a significant sound. It’s not a significant sound...’
