H 35 A Knight To Remember
Acheron von Drachenwald
Sung To The Tune Of The Girl With April In Her Eyes -
Chris de Burgh (Tune w/ no chorus)
There once was a knight
Who was called out to fight
By his enemies waiting outside;
But the knight did a bunk,
For he was weary and drunk,
And he cared not a whit for his pride.
So he mounted his steed,
Drained his flagon of mead,
Set off for his liege-lord's abode,
Then discovered the flaw
As he rode through the door:
He was too drunk to make out the road,
He was too drunk to make out the road.
He turned on his heel,
Drew his sword and his shield
And roared out his challenge to fight;
Then he spotted the foe,
Twenty warriors or so,
(No-one ever had said he was bright),
But he charged at the men
Taking down the first ten
Without making a mis-step or sound,
Then his belt came undone
And the foemen had won,
As his trousers fell down to the ground,
As his trousers fell down to the ground.
Now the moral of this
Is you never should miss
Belting up before running away,
Or just like this knight,
If you enter a fight,
Your equipment could end up displayed
On a trophy room wall
Or a castle's Great Hall
In a foreign land like Atenvelt,
And the rest of your days
Will be spent in a haze
With you walking 'round dressed like a Celt,
With you walking 'round dressed like a Celt.
