NOTE: 

A Heffalump is a type of elephant-like character in the Winnie the Pooh stories by A. A. Milne. Heffalumps are mentioned, and only appear, in Pooh and Piglet's dreams in Winnie-the-Pooh (1926),and seen again in The House at Pooh Corner (1928). Physically, they resemble elephants. 

From the nonsense poem Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll, circa 1865:

Borogoves: A thin shabby-looking bird with its feathers sticking out all round, something like a live mop.

Slithy Toves: “Slithy”: lithe and slimy. 'Lithe' is the same as 'active'. “Toves”: curious creatures that are something like badgers, something like lizards, and something like corkscrews. They make their nests under sun-dials and live on cheese."

"Come Along"

Lyrics

Cosmo Sheldrake

"Come along catch a Heffalump, 

Sit with me on a muddy clump, 

We’ll sing a song of days gone by.

Run along now don’t be glum,

Get you gone now have some fun, 

Don’t be long for the end is nigh.

Don’t let moments pass along and waste before your eyes, 

March with me and the borogoves,

Come with me and the slithy toves,

And never ask us why.

Come come come come come along now, 

Run away from the hum-drum,

We’ll go to a place that is safe from

greed, anger and boredom.

We’ll dance and sing till sundown,

and feast with abandon,

We’ll sleep when the morning comes,

and we’ll rise by the sound of the bird songs.

We’ll be here when the world slows down,

and the sunbeams fade away,

Keeping time by a pendulum as the fabric starts to fray. 

There’s no such thing as time to kill,

nor time to throw away,

So once for the bright sky,

Twice for the pig sty,

Thrice for another day.

(these 3 lines in original not in Pentatonix)

Come come come come come along now, 

Run away from the hum-drum,

We’ll go to a place that is safe from,

greed, anger and boredom.

We’ll dance and sing till sundown,

And feast with abandon,

We’ll sleep when the morning comes,

And we’ll rise by the sound of the bird songs.

Come with me catch a rare type specimen,

Cuddle up with a hesitant skeleton,

We’ll break our fast with friends.

Once we’re fed we shall disappear rapidly,

Many moons to the west of here and happily,

Our journey never ends.

Shut your ears when sirens sing,

Tie armbands to your feet,

Listen up and you won’t go wrong again,

Float along on a verse-less song and then, 

Get to where the two ends meet.

Come come come come come along now, 

Run away from the hum-drum,

We’ll go to a place that is safe from,

greed, anger and boredom.

We’ll dance and sing till sundown,

and feast with abandon,

We’ll sleep when the morning comes,

and we’ll rise by the sound of the bird songs."
