I want to tell a story of a Horse and a Canadian

Well, a "A Horse With No Name" called it and said, "I Will Survive" as he asked the Canadian "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart" as the two "Escaped" and drink some The Piña Coladas. They were drunk as fucked as the Horse told the Canadian "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" as they "Get Down Tonight", "Rocking on The Boat" doing some "Shadow Dancing" "Kung Fu Fighting" style as they sunset sets and sings "Love Will Keep Us Together"
