| Born, oh I suppose in 1812, Leopold’s mother a mademoiselle
|
| His father, the General whisked them away, to a colony in Africa where they
|
| would stay
|
| They’d irrigate the land and teach mathematics
|
| But then a surprise attack, the warlords wouldn’t have it
|
| Direwolves appeared, to search for scraps amongst the ashes
|
| They found young Leopold, hidden in the water brackish
|
| Mother wolf raised Leopold, as her own critter
|
| And paired him up with the runt of the litter
|
| Its name was Taki Büm Büm, brave as a pup could be
|
| Along with Leo’s smarts, a more adept team you’re not likely to meet
|
| Taki Büm Büm and Leopold Expeditus, where are you off to now?
|
| Where will you guide us?
|
| Taki Büm Büm and Leopold Expeditus, your journey begins here
|
| And soon you will unite us
|
| Leopold sprouted his first chest hair, and then grew bored of doggy dares
|
| His peach fuzz turned mustache, his curiosity never abashed
|
| He swam the Balearic Sea, and enrolled in university
|
| He learned to chart maps, graduated top of his class
|
| His peers shied away, they could never truly grasp
|
| Reared in the wild, an abandoner of his pack
|
| With newfound knowledge he would embrace his canine past
|
| Leopold made his way back to the African continent
|
| He searched the northern lands, for their scent
|
| He followed a trail, to a Dire Wolf den
|
| Reunited with his friend, their adventures would soon begin
|
| Taki Büm Büm and Leopold Expeditus, where are you off to now?
|
| Where will you guide us?
|
| Taki Büm Büm and Leopold Expeditus
|
| Explore Africa, discovery the impetus
|
| Near the Gulf Of Guinea they tried to teach a cannibal tribe
|
| To instead eat produce, they barely escaped with their hides
|
| In the Basin of Congo they found iridescent colossi
|
| Tried to enact a trade they were, nearly thrown into the sky
|
| They crossed the Saharan Desert, explored the Egyptian pyramids
|
| They swam the Nile River and even tried to tame the Jaguar Basilisk
|
| In Mozambique they steered, clear of the blue glowing fissure
|
| But failed to reunite, a baby rhino with its lost herd
|
| What are you looking for Leopold Expeditus?
|
| What are you searching for in the middle of the desert?
|
| What are you doing it all for Leopold Expeditus?
|
| What are you searching for in the middle of nowhere?
|
| But one night Taki Büm Büm, heard a howl at the moon
|
| And left Leo’s side in the middle of the night
|
| For twenty four weeks and sixty two days
|
| Leopold waited for his friend to come back in sight
|
| «Day two hundred thirty, old Büm Büm has yet to return
|
| I should move on, yet, I am compelled to stay and wait
|
| Taki, mon ami poilu
|
| If you’re out there, please, give me a sign
|
| Sacrebleu! |
| Ca fait longtemps!»
|
| «They crested the Dunes, there were at least seven
|
| A Dire Wolf parade, it could not be mistaken
|
| I did not recognize their faces, but I knew their patterns
|
| They are Taki Büm Büm's litter, they have the same hunger for adventure!
|
| HeHa! |
| On y va!»
|
| Leopold and his pack, travelled as a brigade
|
| Reformed those cannibals with creme brulee
|
| They even managed to trade man-flambé
|
| For extra large slacks iridescent colossi made
|
| Charted many oases, of the Saharan desert
|
| They tamed the Jaguar Basilisk, and no one got real hurt
|
| They waded deep into the blue glowing fissure
|
| Pulled out the Rhino’s crash, the excitement could not be dashed
|
| Explorer Leopold, Wolfkin Expeditus, Seven Büm Büm Pups, fear can bite us!
|
| On to Europe, and then onto Asia, we’ll trot the entire globe, its mysteries
|
| can’t escape us
|
| «Taki Büm Büm, you and your kin, on multiple occasions saved my skin
|
| People may cheer, Leopold Expeditus, but I’ll always know, our friendship was
|
| the tightest
|
| HeHa! |
| On y va.» |
