Oh c'mon, it's a classic! And you're a scarecrow! It's like you're betraying God by not singing it. But it's okay, I'll start you off.
[Oh god why he's singing. Kinda flat and nasally, but not bad all things considered.]
I could while away the hours, conferrin' with the flowers
Consultin' with the rain.
And my head I'd be scratchin' while

If I only had a brain.

... What is that?
Why?
What are pancakes? [Oh sure, America. Just confuse the boy.]

Because it's American history, and nothing is better than American history. It's basically a law of the universe.
...Have you seriously never had pancakes before. They're delicious!

Oh. Okay that sounds good. If it is a law.
... I do not eat like the people.
