Text to record:

The dog is licking me. The roof is leaking.

Look at that ship! Look at that sheep!

What chubby chicks! What chubby cheeks!

I need to fill my glass. I need to feel better.

I need a kip. I need to keep calm.

Don’t call me a twit. Don’t tweet about me.

I’m not going to be a bitch. I’m not going to the beach.

This shit is crazy! This sheet is too short.
