No one expected, not once in their dreams,
They would ever live to see the day
To get a response from so far away
All based on a phrasebook they had sent
Packed up on a rocket, away it went
A circular, exquisite sound museum
And tasteful nudes. Oh, you should see 'em
Decoded at last. How extraordinary!
It simply requests, "Send more Chuck Berry."
