I want to feel some adrenaline Running through my paws of boredom I want to do something spectacular That has a high risk of death I wanna leave here, in the dead of night Get on the internet and google search crazy sports Right click on links, open in new tab I want to get out of here I want to be a mountaineer! Save to memory stick, oh my USB! Safely remove hardware in the dead of night Play some Tony Hawk, buy some rollerblades I want to get out of here Yeah! My keeper is into Sarah Palin She’s doing a rally round here tonight He’s left my cage unlocked, so I am out the door Run as fast as I can to MISSION BAY PARK! I met a willet bird who told me all about Sir Edmund Hillary and what he did on Everest I’m gonna go there with my digicam Shoot some pictures and send them to all my hoes I wanna leave here, in the dead of night Get on the internet and google search crazy sports Right click on links, open in new tab I want to get out of here I want to be a mountaineer! Save to memory stick, oh my USB! Safely remove hardware in the dead of night Play some Tony Hawk, buy some rollerblades I want to get out of here I want to be a mountaineer! Yeah! The Willet said to me, “we’ll conquer Everest, just you wait and see” He had experience in building things with wood (like nests) We’ll make a boat like no other animals could” So we built a boat and set sail for the sea! The Willet and Me!

The Willet sat up in the Crow’s Nest looking out, the skies were blue The novelty it soon wore off and we got really quite bored People romanticise sailing out to see on a voyage But the reality is rather mundane trust me But soon we spied a yacht on the waves We sailed closer for something to do There was a camp young man waving exuberantly We went onboard he said his name was Michael Perham To be honest I found him weird and overbearing But he was harmlessly English and his heart was in the right place He promised us he’d take us all the way to China He had expensive navigation tools We thought we might as well trust him And before you could say Bamboo we were there!

Hello it’s me again. If you downloaded the first Free Swim EP you’ll recognise me and yes I’ve been roped in again on this one. Anyway, back to the story. On disembarking from the boat, Yolanda and the Willet were immediately taken into custody by the Chinese authorities. I don’t know if you’re aware of this but the Chinese government charges any country that loans one of it’s Pandas one million dollars a year for a minimum of 10 years. Also, if the Panda has a baby, that baby immediately becomes property of the Chinese Government. So the Chinese authorities planned to send Yolanda back to San Diego Zoo the following morning. Yolanda, nothing rhymes with you except Rwanda On another day we’d name you Amanda But Yolanda sounds more Eastern European Which is nice But the Willet flew out of their prison cell and swooped swoopily like a swooping swooper through the forests of China calling to all other endangered species to help free Yolanda. Thousands of animals responded to her cries and helped Yolanda escape from the Chinese authorities, cross the border with Nepal and head towards Everest Base Camp. Bit of time to fill here. Diddly do. Job’s a goodun. I hope you're mother's well, I'll see you soon. Yolanda, nothing rhymes with you except Rwanda On another day we’d name you Amanda But Yolanda sounds more Eastern European Which is nice Yolanda scaled the summit, reached her destiny and became the first Giant Panda to scale Mount Everest. When she returned to base camp she discovered that thanks to sponsorship from Michael Perham she was now free to return to Gansu Province to live with her parents. The Willet flew back to San Diego. Yolanda, nothing rhymes with you except Rwanda On another day we’d name you Amanda But Yolanda sounds more Eastern European Which is nice Right I’m off, see you on the next EP. My name’s Quirrence by the way. I’m studying for a PHD in Cartography and once guffed in front of Kerstin Duffy. Hurray!

Back in the hills, you stumble and bumble for thrills Scoring Bamboo shoots like they’re pills, pills How can I sleep when I’m watching you stroll through the trees Scoring Bamboo shoots as you please. As you please As you please Watching you play in the trees Scoring Bamboo shoots in the breeze How can I sleep when I’m watching you stroll through the trees Scoring Bamboo shoots as you please I’m in love with the scenes, watching you stroll through the breeze Scoring Bamboo shoots as you please.
