based on the japanese number counting song, which goes:
itchi ni no san no shi no ni no go
san itchi shi no ni no shi no ni no go
lojban version:
pa ra ni shi no vo no mu no xa
ze bi no so no pa no re no shi
vo mu no xa no ze no bi no so
and, of course, the classic:
pa, a word, it's french for not
re, a drop of golden sun
ci, it's her, and noone else
vo, the start of a great shock
mu, a word, it's french for soft
xa, the start of a great laugh
ze, the number after xa
bi, the letter after A
so, a needle pulling thread
that would bring us back to pa
