A while ago I said on Facebook that I had a stupid earworm going round my head "Everybody's gotta zonky ponky". A Facebook friend who shall remain nameless (Marilisa) said I should make it into a song and she would supply choreography at the next Filk Con. So this song is ALL MARILISA'S FAULT !

Zonky Ponky
I've been looking for the answer
For the meaning and the cause of all
Twenty years and I'm still searching
So many times I hit a brick wall

I went out to see the mystic
On the mountains of Betelguese 3
I asked him about the meaning of life
This is what he said to me

chorus
Everybody gotta zonky ponky
Everbody gotta gotta zonky ponky ponk
Don't be a dope, dont be a donkey
Zonky ponky ponkin all night long

I was a little bit disappointed
I didn't know what he was talking about
Even if it took another 20 years
I knew that I had to find out

I went to all the seats of learning
I went to the British Library
In a dusty tome under zonky ponk it said
“Ask the mystic on Betelguese 3” who says

Everybody gotta zonky ponky

Everbody gotta gotta zonky ponky ponk
Don't be a dope, dont be a donkey
Zonky ponky ponkin all night long.

When I went back to see the mystic
He said “Put zonky ponky into a song”
I said “I just don't know what it means”, he said
“If you don't know, you've been doing it wrong!”

In my startship on my way home
I sat down and I wrote this song
I sang it often and I realise that
I've been zonky ponkin all along

Everybody gotta zonky ponky

Everbody gotta gotta zonky ponky ponk
Don't be a dope, dont be a donkey
Zonky ponky ponkin all night long.
