The Joy of Fortifications
|
|
(To the tune "Cats on the Rooftop").
|
|
|
|
When You wake up in the morning,
|
|
And your castle's under siege
|
|
Your troops are on the walls
|
|
And they're looking to their liege
|
|
Better close up your portcullis
|
|
'Fore the barbican they seize
|
|
As you contemplate the joy of fortifications
|
|
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
|
|
Knights on the guardwalk,
|
|
Knights in the towers
|
|
Knights who are batchelors comtemplating dowers
|
|
Knights in their armour of authority and power
|
|
As they contemplate the joy of fortifications
|
|
|
|
If on the field of battle,
|
|
In defeat you have to run
|
|
You'll find no cause for worry
|
|
If your home is made of stone
|
|
You can taunt 'em from the crenels
|
|
Up until your day is done
|
|
As you contemplate the joy of fortifications
|
|
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
|
|
Catapults and trebuchets
|
|
may cause you some concern
|
|
With the proper use of fire
|
|
most contraptions you can burn
|
|
You'll surely have to sally forth
|
|
Before you get your turn
|
|
As you contemplate the joy of fortifications
|
|
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
|
|
Stone offers you safety,
|
|
All throughout the year
|
|
It's a place to spend your taxes,
|
|
As your peasants quake in fear
|
|
It's a place to keep you comfy
|
|
For a "Droit de Seigneur"
|
|
As you contemplate the joy of fortifications
|
|
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
|
|
Now if your safe security,
|
|
Your neighbours do abuse
|
|
Perchance you may avail yorself
|
|
Your neighbours to amuse
|
|
Laying siege around their castle
|
|
Its an act you can't refuse
|
|
As they contemplate the joy of fortifications
|
|
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
|
|
|
