Speak Medieval

[Verse 1]

Rattle my birdcage, shake my tree

Take out all my teeth and set them free

Tickle my tonsils, pickle my tongue

Grease up my geese with the fife and drum

[Pre-Chorus]

All those little things, they've got me in despair

Here comes the chopper to chop, to chop-chop off their heads

[Verse 2]

I am trickster, mischief-maker

Watch me put a wasp in the incubator

Clock me at the docks with the stevedores

We'll be trading stories with the dirty words

[Pre-Chorus]

All those little things, they've got me in despair

Here comes the chopper to chop, to chop-chop off their heads

[Chorus]

And it goes on and on and on

Speak medieval

And we go hardy-hardy-har

In the upheaval

[Verse 3]

Making waves with the mystery handshake

Unlocking all the secrets of an ancient language

Half a pound of golden treacle

Of all the animals I like most

You can't go wrong with a baby goat

Half a pound of golden treacle

Bleed the wound, prick the needle

[Pre-Chorus]

All those little things, they've got me in despair

Here comes the chopper to chop, to chop-chop off their heads

[Chorus]

And it goes on and on and on

Speak medieval

And we go hardy-hardy-har

In the upheaval

(Yeah! I like that!)

[Bridge]

I am liar, hear me roar

It's much darker than the dawn

I am Lepus, myxomatosis

Who put the ergot in the Hovis?

And then they're doing it again

They try to twist my words, man

No hallelujah in the end

And then they boiled my bon-bon

[Pre-Chorus]

All those little things, they've got me in despair

Here comes the chopper to chop, to chop-chop off their heads

[Chorus]

And it goes on and on and on

Speak medieval

And we go hardy-hardy-har

In the upheaval

[Outro]

Here comes the chopper

Here comes the chopper

Here comes the chopper

He do it proper
