sure as Kilimanjaro rises like a lepress o'er the
Serengeti

The story:

nothing really embarrassing except that i heard it
in my teens and still didn't know what they were
saying until i was 50 and looked it up on a lyrics
page.
BTW,my fiance thought they said 'a hundred
men on Mars' until i told her the right words, and
she was 37.
