"Let's Get That Tell Exhumed"
Parody Written by:

The Lyrics
tell: a mound consisting of accumulated remains of ancient settlements
Let's get that tell exhumed.
There we will find
Anachronistic swag, a slew.
They'll be lyin'
Buried there, lyin'.
Amid all the strata
Is sure to be found
Many artifacts that
Have built up over time in the mound.
Let's get that tell exhumed
And treasures mined.
We'll find:
Swag, a slew;
Bags, a few;
Rags, a slew;
Gags, a few, written down
On parchment squares,
One, proto-Henny. . .
My laugh resounds.
Two guys speak:
"A wife would quell my gloom."
"Well, please. Take mine!"
There we will find
Anachronistic swag, a slew.
They'll be lyin'
Buried there, lyin'.
Amid all the strata
Is sure to be found
Many artifacts that
Have built up over time in the mound.
Let's get that tell exhumed
And treasures mined.
We'll find:
Swag, a slew;
Bags, a few;
Rags, a slew;
Gags, a few, written down
On parchment squares,
One, proto-Henny. . .
My laugh resounds.
Two guys speak:
"A wife would quell my gloom."
"Well, please. Take mine!"
