One day makeing tracks in the Prairie of Praz

Came a North-Going Zax

A North-Going Zax

And a South-Going Zax

A North-Going Zax

And a South-Going Zax

And it happened that both of them came to a place where they

BUMPED!

There they stood

Foot to foot, face to face

Look here now

the North-Going Zax said

Hey say, you are blocking my path!

You are right in my way!

I'm a North-Going Zax, and I always go norht

Get out of my way now, and let me go forth.

Who's in whose way?!

Snapped the South-Going Zax

I always go south, making South-Going tracks

So you're in my way.

And I ask you to move

And let me go south in my South-Going groove

Then the North-Going Zax said with North-Going pride,

I never have taken a step to one side

And I'll prove to you that I won't change my ways

If I have to keep standing here 59 days.

And I'll prove to you

Yelled the South-Going Zax

That I can stand here in the Praire of Prax for 59 YEARS

For I live by a rule that I learned as a boy

backk in South-Going School

"Never budge" that's my rule.

Never budge in the least

Not an inch to the west, not an inch to the east

I'll stay here, not budging

I can and I will

If it makes you and me and the whole world stand still

Well of course, the world didn't stand still

The world grew

In a couple of years, the new highway came through

And they built it right over those 2 stubborn Zax

And left them there

Standing unbudged in there tracks
