Now Lionel he ****ed in a breaker
Looks like he's temptin' his Maker
When a hundred and ten volts
Hits your pecker it jolts..
And can send you to hell's half-acre.

220 volts here in Europe. :-D

Two hundred and twenty volts you say?
Now THAT would be hell to pay...
An' I have no doubt
That'd put you about
Six feet beneath the clay... :-(

230 volts even, it's true
that's nothing to play with, mind you
The amp that I tried
got thoroughly fried
'cause it was set to 110 from new.

Your amp got fried, so you wrote
But it can be replaced, please note
With that you can cope
But note that the hope
Of replacing your pecker is remote.

What need do I have for a dick
When The She can insert any old stick
Not that she will
When mine does still
Most of the time, its old trick.

An amp can be easily replaced
But what can one do when one's faced
With no music at hand
From one's favourite band
That'd feel like lifelong encaged!

That'll remind you of following fact
To always check voltage select
Because if you don't
Your amplifier won't
Survive this event and defect.
