I was afraid to say it before because I thought you might be offended. Still it doesn't matter, you know. You've heard those songs before, haven't you?

I'm a bit of a devil, you know. I'm carrying on today a bit, aren't I? I'm a bit of a jolly sport, you know.

I do as I like. I'm 21. I think I am.

I think I am. Maybe I'll be 22 next year. I don't know.
