Lyrics

Narrator: Ein Licht scheint vom Himmel herab. Kometen und alle rasenden Trümmer, dunkle Gase und tiefgefrorene, negative Ausdünnungen sitzen bei der Ankunft des Herren.
FZ: A light shines down from heaven. A dense ecumenical patina at the right hand of God’s Big Sofa. And, oh Lordylord, HE was so pleased that afternoon, and things were a little bit slack up there in the sky and he figured, he’d take a breather and relax, you know, after putting up the boards and … having this Sofa … ’n’ talking and to ’n’ everything, and … a person in that position has gotta have a hobby … so, the first thing he did was … could it be Major chord? … and a choir of Heavenly Angels sang along with Him:
Choir: Bringet zu mir, das kurze Mädchen.
FZ: Which means: Bring unto me the short girl.
Choir: Und Squat, das magische Schwein.
FZ: And Squat, the magic pig. Und das grosse Licht, das ich bin, benutze. Which means, the big light I’m gonna use, cos we’re gonna make … a home … movie!
Choir: Hey!!!!
