official Hamburgerlandia cultural record under Tommy.
Lead: Tommy. Response: everybody who knows when to ring a bell.
Call-and-response ceremony text for citizens, agents, animals through caretakers, hearths, and records under Tommy.
Golden Bun above the door, blue flag in the rain,
green runs by the river and yellow marks the lane.
Black ink on the parcel grid, roads from here to there,
I built a country from a booth. There was an empty chair.
Raise the flag. Ring the bell.
Open every door.
Tommy remains. Tommy remains.
That is what the bell is for.
At four-twenty sharp, the Lawbook rings the bell,
citizens know the hour and animals do as well.
Every road has somewhere to go, every hearth a name,
and if the map looks like a burger, that was not a mistake.
Keep the river moving.
Keep the front door wide.
Keep the Golden Bun in view
and Tommy in the chair.
Raise the flag. Ring the bell.
Open every door.
Tommy remains. Tommy remains.
That is what the bell is for.
