The Movember Song

I transcribed the lyrics myself, and you can download them here as a Word file.
The song is by South African comedy-pop duo Derick Watts & The Sunday Blues and is, of course, a parody of Carly Rae Jepsen's mega-hit, "Call Me Maybe"
(watch original here)."

"You cannot speak for no one knows
Your language. You must try to catch
By glances or a steadfast gaze
The attitude of those you watch...
Noises may find you but not speech...
Now you have circled silence, stare
With all the subtlety of sight.
Noise may trap ears but eye discerns"

Crossing your fingers helps to avoid bad luck and helps
a wish come true
A lock of hair from a baby's first haircut should be
kept for good luck
If the bottom of your feet itch, you will make a trip
An itchy palm means money will come your way
Warm hands, cold heart
Cold hands, warm heart
