| A thing of beauty is a joy for ever: | A thing of beauty is a 😹 for ever: |
| Its lovliness increases; it will never | Its lovliness increases; it will never |
| Pass into nothingness; but still will keep | Pass into nothingness; but still will keep |
| A bower quiet for us, and a sleep | A bower 🔕 for us, and a 🛏 |
| Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing. | 💯 of 🍮 dreams, and health, and 🔕 breathing. |
| Therefore, on every morrow, are we wreathing | Therefore, on every morrow, are we wreathing |
| A flowery band to bind us to the earth, | A flowery band to bind us to the 🌐, |
| Spite of despondence, of the inhuman dearth | Spite of despondence, of the inhuman dearth |
| Of noble natures, of the gloomy days, | Of noble natures, of the gloomy days, |
| Of all the unhealthy and o'er-darkn'd ways | Of all the unhealthy and 🅾'er-darkn'd ways |
| Made for our searching: yes, in spite of all, | Made for 🔍 searching: yes, in spite of all, |
| Some shape of beauty moves away the pall | Some shape of beauty moves away the pall |
| From our dark spirits. Such the sun, the moon, | From our 🌑 spirits. Such the 🌤, the 🌚, |
| Trees old and young, sprouting a shady boon | 🎄 🗝 and young, sprouting a shady boon |
| For simple sheep; and such are daffodils | For simple 🐑; and such are daffodils |
| With the green world they live in; and clear rills | With the 📗 🌎 they live in; and clear rills |
| That for themselves a cooling covert make | That for themselves a 😎 covert make |
| 'Gainst the hot season; the mid-forest brake, | 'Gainst the ☕ season; the mid-forest brake, |
| Rich with a sprinkling of fair musk-rose blooms: | Rich with a sprinkling of fair musk-🌹 blooms: |
| And such too is the grandeur of the dooms | And such too is the grandeur of the dooms |
| We have imagined for the mighty dead; | We have imagined for the mighty dead; |
| An endless fountain of immortal drink, | An endless ⛲ of immortal 🍾, |
| Pouring unto us from the heaven's brink. | Pouring unto us from the heaven's brink. |
| — A Thing Of Beauty (Endymion) - Poem by John Keats |

I wanna be famous, a ✡ on the screen
But you can do something in between"
👶 you can drive my 🚓
Yes I'm gonna be a ✡
👶 you can drive my 🚓
And maybe I 😻 you
I told a 👧 that my prospects were good
And she said 👶, "It's understood
Working for 🥜 is all very fine
But I can show you a better time"
👶 you can drive my 🚓
Yes I'm gonna be a ✡

And maybe I 😻 you
Beep beep'm beep beep yeah

And she said, "Listen 👶 I got something to say
I got 🙅 🚓 and it's 💔 my 💘
But I've found a driver and that's a start"
👶 you can drive my 🚓
Yes I'm gonna be a ✡

Beep beep'm beep beep yeah
Beep beep'm beep beep yeah
Beep beep'm beep beep yeah
Beep beep'm beep beep yeah (fade out)
ToDo
— flags and other combineds are not treated properly;
— stopwords (like “us” above);
— NLP + stemming.
