This has been driving me nuts for ages- I can't make out what they said

...At least I _think_ that's what it says. Quay is something like straw,
maybe. A quivvey (sp?) holds your arrows. We all know what a quarry is.
Quoh (sp?) I was told, once, is a corner.

One Hen
Two Ducks
Three Squalking geese
Four Limerick oysters
Five corpulent porpoises
Six pairs of Don Alvarsos' tweezers
Seven thousand Macedonians in full battle array
Eight brass monkeys from the ancient sacred crypts of Egypt
Nine apathetic, sypathetic, diabetic old men on roller skates with a marked
propensity toward procrastination and sloth
Ten lyrical, spherical, diabolical denizens of the deep, who haul quay
around the quo of the quivvy of the quarry all at the same time

THE SAME TIME!
(note: I'm not absolutely sure about the last part of the last line,
especially as it was only spoken once. My memory was from Flo and
Eddie's (aka the Turtles) album. Lord, I haven't heard that in ten
years.)
(ps. Note to all those people I have met whose name I can never
remember...*this* is why I couldn't remember! The "Tibetian Memory
Trick" was occupying that part! At *last*! I am able to discharge
this! Maybe I can have this portion of my mind back....)

Anyone have the complete words for this? Please email too since I'm posting

Thanks!

Sounds right otherwise. Note that "quay" is pronounced "key".
