I'm a few letters short of you with "Olymakittylucachichichi"... but in
Tonga that means "no".

If I ever have the money,
'Tis to Tonga I shall go.
For each lovely Tongan maiden there
Will gladly make a date.

And by the time she's said
"Olymakittylucachichichi"
It is usually too late!

Flanders & Swann, c. 1956

|Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh . . .
|Rennenhenninnahenninneninahennnn
from a 1973/1974 song with the word "penguin" in its title
- Frank Zappa (US) (1940/1993)

The longest "real" word I can find also occurs in a song
by Frank Zappa:

|Hermann: Wir sind Deutschlands Kommunikationsgesellschaft.
"This Ain't CNN" (1994) - Frank Zappa (US) (1940/1993)

. The longest word outside a Frank Zappa song that I can
find occurs in:

|So you're gonna be institutionalized
"Institutionalized" (1982/1983) by Suicidal Tendencies (US) (1980/)

.

I was always a slow talker
One time I was at my girlfriend's place for dinner,
and I noticed the cat licking milk off its lips.
I said "Oh, look at that. Your cat is so cute".
By the time they looked it was licking its balls.

My sister used to talk slowly too.
She was out on a date one night,
and before she could say "I'm not that kind of girl",
she was.

My friend SA Rothwell posed the riddle: Why do dogs lick their balls?
The answer he wanted was: Because they can!
