| 0:05.1 | If you're under 18, get out of here, young and... |
| 0:07.9 | Come, come and celebrate the feast of the ass. |
| 0:16.2 | So hard and fast will penetrate through the grounds that will amass. |
| 0:25.6 | Oh, eat, taste the holy feast, the climax soon will pass. |
| 0:35.6 | Oh, come, come and celebrate the feast of the ass. |
