"There's firm abroad Cook.

If you overcome boredom

And you want to see the world -

Cook for you in one minute

The ship will prepare the cabin,

Or order the plane to file,

Or a camel for you will send,

He will give you a room in the best hotel,

Warm bath and breakfast in bed.

Mountains and mineral resources, the north and south,

Palm trees and cedars show you cook. "
