For the joy that he has given
The music was great

Some things haven`t changed all that much
Men still like to prove they are butch,

They fought wars with lances and spears
Some went on for several years
Maidens, left behind
To lose men resigned,
And alas, they shed many tears.

Her dictionary was so old
In nineteen forty it was sold
It`s words were obscure
From days of old yore
When knights were still known to be bold

They fought wars with lances and spears

There was a housewife who hated
Those who were sophisticated
She used words so plain
Again and again
Till her store of words abated

Her dictionary was so old

I'd rather have a pair of boots
For following winter pursuits
Liking hiking to Wales
Or the Yorkshire Dales
Must exercise my daisy roots.

He doesn`t wear them, oh dear no
He`ll display them, charge at the door,
Cheap rate for oldies
Keep out the `coldies`
Says they`ll keep you warm in the snow

Now, Sebastian is really most strange
He has asked me to rearrange
His socks and his ties
Shows off to the guys
He really does have quite a range
