Recite all of the lyrics to the Theme tune to 'The Fresh Prince of Bel Air'? Is it the full version?

As far as I know, it goes something like this:

*clears throat*

Well this is a story all about how
My life got flipped turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute to just sit right here
And tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air

In West Philladelphia, born and raised,
On a playground was where I spent most of my days
Da dada dool
And relaxing all cool, shooting some meatballs (??) outside my school
When a couple of guys that were up to no good
Started making trouble in my neighbourhood
I got in one little fight and my momma got scared
She said "you're moving with you're aunty and uncle in Bel Air"

The cab pulled up to the house about seven or eight
And I said to the cabbie "yo homie, smell ya later"
And I looked at my kingdom, I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the Prince Of Bel Air.


I have no idea how close that is to the real thing.


Recite all of the lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody?

*clears throat*

Is this the real life... is this just fantasy...
Caught in a landslide..





Ach, never mind. Yes.


Kick higher than your head? Hahaha. No.
Crack your knuckles? Oh yes.
Drive a car? What's a car?
Put somebody into the recovery position? Kinda. I have a certificate to say I can. I tend to rely on people not being unconscious near me though.
Curl your tongue? Yes.
Get your foot behind your head? I'm not even going to try that for fear of getting stuck.
Whistle? Oh yes

Thank you Zooty

Foots I know it's just steering but to be honest why does it matter? I only need a car to get me from A to B and then possibly on to C, why does it matter how I do it?
