The Song Challenge: Is That A Baby Budgie
In Your Pants, Or Are You Just Glad To See Me? -- RIO DE JANEIRO,
Brazil (Reuters) -- With parrots and snakes in his luggage and bird eggs tucked into his underwear, an
Austrian tourist has been arrested and charged for animal trafficking, Brazilian police said on Wednesday.
"He put (the eggs) near his testicles so they would be at nest temperature," a police
spokesman said. Police discovered 21 parrots, four parakeets and two snakes hidden in
two large suitcases carried by Austrian botanist Johann Zillinger. hey also found Zillinger
had rolled five parakeet eggs into a sock and nestled them in his underwear. "Since some
of the parakeets that he had with him were newborns, we assume that some of the eggs had
already hatched." Tipped off by an anonymous call, Rio de Janeiro police arrested the
Austrian on Monday in front of his Copacabana beach hotel, as he climbed into a taxi on his way to
catch a flight to Europe. According to police, Zillinger bought the animals in the
Amazon port city of Belen and planned to take them to Austria to sell them in Europe.
With The Eggs Tucked In His Underwear by Genie
(Tune: Anne Boleyn)
In the town of Rio Wednesday night
A charge of animal trafficking was made
Against a brazen Austrian in flight
Engaging in the stolen critter trade.
Chorus:
With the eggs tucked in his underwear
He crossed the borderline
Till the birds hatched in his underwear
He was doing just fine!
He's going to cross the border with a boa in his brief-
Case, and scads of parrots in his bags, 'cause he's a thief,
And just in case the customs agents try to give him grief,
He's got the eggs tucked in his underwear.
Inside his brand new attach�, he's got snake or two,
And in his trunk four parakeets he purchased in Peru,
But it's awfully awkward for the bloke when he has to use the loo
With the eggs tucked in his underwear.
Chorus
Sometimes Brazilian coppers get a tip
From nameless pals and gals that they have bought.
They've seen suspicious bulges near the hips,
And, Voila!, Se�or Zillinger is caught!
"Hold it, bud!" The federales shout,
And twenty-one Macaws come flying out.
Chorus
The day they cornered Johann, he was in the Copa bar
A-stuffing beer nuts in his pants (we noticed from afar!)--
It seems he'd spawned a parakeet maternity ward
Where there were eggs tucked in his underwear!
Chorus
The waitresses just thought he was an ordinary guy,
But when they saw those bulges in his pants, they said, "Oh, my!
It must be Long Dong Silver!" He induced a thousand sighs,
When the snake snuck into his underwear!
