Yes, I wear animal skins.
Haven’t you heard? It’s the latest!
All the rage on catwalks,
From London to Paris,
And the fashion started from me.

Yes, we live in bushes
And I own the biggest one, no less
Than the President himself.
Three bushes down, he’ll stop over
For a short chat and a cup of tea.

Yes, I live in the grasslands,
Managing Smoke-Message Services
Communication like you couldn’t believe
And our transport! It’s something
I tell you, something to see.

I’ve got an internet connection
And yes, I live in a tree.
