It's all Bristow's fault...
Oct. 11th, 2006 08:40 pmWell, it's taken me a day but I did it...
Oh, this is a story 'bout a guy named Dent
Who lived on a planet where nobody went
Till the Vogons blew it up to make a space bypass
And his buddy Ford Prefect tried to save his ass
But the Vogons read them poetry and blew them into space
And they ended up alive and in a very strange place
It was a ship that ran on infinite improbability
That was stolen by the President of all the galaxy
Who enjoyed watching news about himself on TV
But that's really not important to the story.
Well, the very next thing he met a paranoid robot
With a super-duper positronic brain
And he went to Magrathea where they used to build planets
Till the galaxy's economy collapsed from the strain
But some crazy pan-dimensional beings woke them up
'Cause they wanted a replacement for the Earth
And the answer to the ultimate question's forty-two
For what it's worth
Then the coppers had him cornered and he figured he was dead
And he ended up in Milliways but didn't get fed
'Cause he stole a black ship and away he did fly
And that's where the story goes a little awry
And you can't make it logical no matter how you try
There's birds and frogs and dolphins and much more beside
And that's the story of Hitch-Hi-kers' Guide!!!
No, it doesn't go to the Beverly Hillbillies theme...
