[tape snippet 3]

[sped-up voices:] [?]

[spoken]

One, two, three...

Though I hear you calling, I will not answer

Though I hear you calling, I will not answer

And the sun may shine

Right through your tooth, dear

And the wind may blow

Right through my ears

Though I hear you calling, I will not answer

Oh, I hear you calling

No, I will not answer

And I broke your code

And I broke your code

[sped-up voice:] [?]

[Alternating with between normal and sped-up voices:] Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Will not answer, yeah

Though I hear you calling

No, I will not answer

The sun may shine

Out through your mouth, dear

And the wind may blow

Right through my ear

Though I hear you calling, oh I will not answer

Oh, I hear you calling, but I will not answer

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Calling

Well, I broke your code (Though I will not answer)

And I broke your code (I will not answer)

And I broke your code (will not answer)

Broke your code (And I will not answer)

Broke your code (And I will not answer

Broke your code

Though I hear you calling (hear you calling)

I will not answer (will not answer)

Though I hear you calling (I hear you calling)

I will not answer (I will not answer)

No, I will not answer (And I broke your code)

(Broke your code)

Yeah

(Though I hear you calling) The sun is shining

(I will not answer) Out to your tooth, dear
