FAMILY TRIPS

WHEN MY DAD WAS LITTLE HE WOULD GET IN THE CAR AND ASK HIS FATHER
THE SAME QUESTION. HE'D SAY, "WHERE ARE WE GOING?" HIS DAD WOULD
ALWAYS GIVE THE SAME REPLY. HE'D ASK ALL THE OTHER CHILDREN
"WHERE ARE WE GOING, BOYS?" THEN EVERYONE WOULD ANSWER,
"WE'RE GOING TO THE HAMBURG SHOW.
TO SEE THE ELEPHANTS AND THE WILD KANGAROOS.
AND WE'LL ALL STICK TOGETHER IN THE RAINY, STORMY WEATHER.
CAUSE WE'RE GOING TO SEE THE WHOLE SHOW THROUGH."
