[Audience member, spoken]
I'll never be bitter again!

[Jane Siberry, spoken]
You'll never be thinner again? Bigger? Bitter!

You should be bitter. Bitterness gives you character if you ever get over it. If you've never been bitter, I don't think you're– I'm just saying it's good to be bitter. Bitter is better and batter and butter. 

Anyway, so anyway, we've had a great time. And I, I really am– Thanks for your warmth. It's always– It's a real thing. You don't play to a vacuum and every audience is different. And, um, I don't say this to every audience, just every audience. You're the best audience we ever had, just like all the other audiences. Yeah, no, never mind, never mind. You don't believe me anyway, you're just–

[Audience member, spoken]
Bitter!

[Jane Siberry, spoken]
Bitter. So, anyway. I wrote this next song for children, because I heard that they were moving– Are you having a great conversation? That's okay, it's normal for me, that's what my head sounds like. But I did discern a bit of difference, it's outside. 

Um, I heard that they were moving a lot of the classic traditional songs from schools because they, you know, you hit the word Savior, whatever, and it's [whistle], it's out. You know, everything, donkeys, asses, everything like that. 

Actually, did you hear about the first mention of a man made out of rubber in the Bible? Occurs, um, when somewhere in the Bible it says that Jeremiah tied his ass to a tree and walked forty miles. Wow, we're not as modern as we thought. 

This is a song for children, to children, about children, and, and our thank you song for all of you coming tonight and being part of this.
