I don't want anyone
to get alarmed.
I know they've probably
never seen one of these before.
But it goes by itself.

Don't stop.
Don't leave me alone.
Don't ever stop.
Sing me to bed,
sing me through the morning.
Because...
I'm so grateful to you,
because, tonight...
It's become clear to me...
Tonight the great mysteries
have unraveled.
And I've penetrated
to the very core of things.
And I have stumbled
on the answer.
And I am not the sort of chap
that would keep this
to himself.
Do you want to hear the answer?
[crowd shouting] Yes!
Are you truly hungry
for the answer?
[crowd shouting] Yes!
Then you're just the people
I want to tell it to.
Because it's a rare thing
to come up on this.
I'm gonna let you in on it now.
The answer to the mysteries...
