The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog

So! You want to buy a typewriter? Make sure you get the best!
Before you sign the contract
 you should make one final test:
You just grab a piece of paper (and ignore the salesman's hype)
feed the paper through the roller
 sit yourself right down and type:

  :/:The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog:/:
  The Fox Is Hyperactive
  But The Dog Sleeps Like A Log;
  The Quick Brown Fox Jumps -
  Over The Lazy Dog!

Now if you've got an office
 you may need a secretary.
She may be quite a weirdo
 she may be quite ordinary.
But don't ask her where she came from or to where she wants to go -
If you know that she can type
 then that is all you need to know!

  :/:The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog:/:
  The Dog Just Wants To Sleep All Day
  the Fox Prefers To Jog;
  The Quick Brown Fox Jumps -
  Over The Lazy Dog!

(A little weirdness: In the second line of the chorus - right after the repeating line - the vocalist is supposed to sing what it says while the chorus sings the same as before (The Quick Brown Fox etc.). I think that would actually work.)
(Another thing that could work is using typewriter sounds in the music.)

Or how about a Norwegian chorus for a change!

:/:En Rask Brun Rev sprang over Den Late Hund:/:
For Reven den var aktiv selv når Passopp tok en blund!
En Rask Brun Rev sprang -
over Den Late Hund!
