i farm - william shatner speaks esperanto, do you? lyrics

the year is 1953 and he is twenty-two years old
he's finding his true calling, his true destiny
a language never heard on the continent as such:
a mixture of french, polish, portuguese, and dutch
last night he had a dream and so he called me on the phone
he asked me if i knew what his name was
i said "bill" and then asked "why?"
he said because he had forgotten it
i said he was better off without it
william shatner! bill shatner!
