When Aldous huxley was involved in a theatrical adaptation of the Brave New World, he was encouraged to introduce lyrics and musical theme into it, otherwise people would never appreciate(understand) it. This is an excerpt of what he came up with... brilliantly ludicrously sublime.
No more Mammy, no more Pappy;
Aint we lucky, aint we happy?
Everybody's oh so happy,
Everybody's happy now!
Sex Galore, but no more marriages;
No more pushing baby carriages;
No one has to change a nappy-
Ain't we lucky, ain't we happy:
Everybody's happy now.
Dope for tea and dope for dinner,
Fun all night, and love and laughter;
No remorse, no more after.
Where's the sin, and who's the sinner?
Everybody's happy now.
Girls pneumatic, girls exotic,
Girls ecstatic, girls erotic-
Hug me, Baby; make it snappy.
Everybody's oh so happy,
Everybody's happy now.
Lots to eat and hours for drinking
Soma cocktails- no more thinking.
NO MORE THINKING, NO MORE THINKING!
Everybody's happy now.
