I've always drunk water EVER so cold
And have done since I was 15 months old
Afore that, kind Sirs, I'm bound to admit
I was keen for a suck of me dear old mam's tit
And sometimes, still am.
Oh, please, Sirs, I beg you! Don't scold me! Don't chide!
From your derision, 'tis true, I have nowhere to hide
Don't hate me! Don't slate me! It's a lie! I'm not cheap!
(Though it's true I once had a fondness for sheep!)
But they wouldn't stand still for me.
Oh, Knights of the Table - Spoofsirs, so bold!
I'm pulling yer legs! You have to be told?
It's parody! It's satire! It's what we do best
Just some of the many words spoken in jest
And rarely a true one amongst them.
