I think I'm being stalked by somebody in The Meeting Room
The other day upon the stair
I met a man that wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today.
Gee, I wish he'd go away!

2. I am a fan as well...
"The one-l lama,
He's a priest.
The two-l llama,
He's a beast.
And I will bet
A silk pajama
There isn't any
Three-l lllama."

As I was going up the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today.
I wish, I wish he'd go away.

William Hughes Mearns was the author of the original bit supposedly. Here's his bio in Wikipedia...
