4. Long Live Politzania

Through a fortunate turn of events, this original transcription has been acquired of a dissertation given by the late Professor Charles Pamplemousse R.C.B. at the Eighteenth Assembly of the Heirs of the Politzanian Empire.

Professor Pamplemousse was a distinguished anthropologist of his time whom many believed to be the world's leading authority on the subject of extinct civilizations.

The program concludes with the singing of "The Politzanian National Anthem."

As facts are few and far between hypothesis denies all logic as to what precisely, er, led to her demise. For what appears sheer grandiosity, no legacy remains except her crumbling ruins on which these words were found engraved:

Politzania
Politzania
Long live Politzania
Politzania
Politzania
God save Politzania

Now these ancient Politzanians as far as archeologists have traced had most thoroughly convinced themselves they were a superior race. Quite a ridiculous notion, granted, however if we assume her sister rivals rose to quell such monstrous claims, I most humbly submit her unpleasant end is satisfactorily explained.

Politzania
Politzania
Long live Politzania
Politzania
Politzania
God save Politzania

Those citizens who questioned, those suspect harborers of doubt, were brought before a panel of the Ministry of Health.
They were tested and encephalographed
'Til rendered quite insane
When in accordance with the laws
They reprocessed their brains
They reprocessed their brains ha ha ha ha
They reprocessed their brains

The Politzanian National Anthem

Politzania, brave strong and true
Politzania, we all love you
We'll smite our foes for we are right
And God is on our side

Politzania, red, white and green
Politzania, reigning supreme
Victors in war
Champions of peace
Unto eternity

(Everybody now)
La la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la
La la la la la la
We're the masters of the world

The Loneliest Of Creatures
(John Woloschuk)
Sometimes I feel like I'm the loneliest of all creatures in the universe
Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! Oh no!
Oh no you're not the loneliest of all creatures in the universe
Oh no! Oh no!

If I am not the loneliest of creatures
There must be someone lonelier than me
But I can't believe despair could be much deeper
When I'm as lonely as a man can be

Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! Oh no!
Oh no you're not the loneliest of all creatures in the universe!
Oh no! Oh no!

Suppose I'm not the loneliest of creatures
Then tell me who this wretched soul might be
In the dark of night there lives a lighthouse keeper
And the lone survivor of his world is he
The lone survivor of his world
Is he

But I feel like I'm the loneliest of all creatures in the universe
Yet I know I'm not the loneliest of all creatures in the universe
