First you tickle ups And then you tickle downs Just when you think you've had enough Why then you tickle rounds and rounds! The space suit's hard and thick and rough. Through it you cannot scratches! You cannot usher out an itch by opening up the 'atches! You jump and bump. You itch and twitch. You make a thousand wishes! The perils of Deep Outer Space Are nothing ... When you itches!

LAMENT OF THE ITCHY ASTRONAUT
First you tickle ups And then you tickle downs Just when you think you've had enough Why then you tickle rounds and rounds! The space suit's hard and thick and rough. Through it you cannot scratches! You cannot usher out an itch by opening up the 'atches! You jump and bump. You itch and twitch. You make a thousand wishes! The perils of Deep Outer Space Are nothing ... When you itches!
