Baesik iz fued and sheltr frum hawrm
Baesik iz aer and u meenz tue keep wawrm
Baesik iz wawtr and prpus tue liv

Lief deependz awn Baesik thingz
Unchaenjubul needz tue wich it klingz

Evreething els in lief iz u Hat.

Hats uv frenships, Hats uv jobz
Hats uv reelijunz and thingumubobz
Hats uv status, Hats foergot
Hats awr impoertunt, but Baesik ^THae'r not.

Hats kan bee komun oer kustumd foer kingz
Hats awr ^THu meenz tue get Baesik thingz
Hats kan bee simpul, Hats kan bee straenj
But best uv awl, Hats kan bee chaenjd.
