  13. #JustLeavingThisHere #GeneWilder

    Adding to the over all feeling of "Is this man safe/sane/ dangerous?"

    The increasingly manic way Gene Wilder delivers this, it's classic for that reason!

    Round the world and home again
    That's the sailor's way
    There's no earthly way of knowing
    Which direction we are going
    There's no knowing where we're rowing
    Or which way the river's flowing
    Is it raining, is it snowing
    Is a hurricane a-blowing
    Not a speck of light is showing
    So the danger must be growing
    Are the fires of Hell a-glowing
    Is the grisly reaper mowing
    Yes, the danger must be growing
    For the rowers keep on rowing
    And they're certainly not showing
    Any signs that they are slowing
