A half a block off of Red Square N.C. In a karaoke bar having a few drinks with some of his friends N.C. There was the dog that flew Sputnik N.C. And a blind red-headed, one legged parrot N.C. Who had done some minor research for Dow Chemical N.C. They were drinking American Vodka N.C. Imported all the way from Paducah, Kentucky N.C. And reportedly had their arms around each other's N.C. Shoulders singing. N.C.
