Brobdingnagian Bards A Fairy Story Lyrics

In days of old in a kingdom bold, there lived a
fearsome dragon.
And the King he was in great distress and the countries
spirits flagoned.
Until one day there came a knight, he was handsome,
bold, and charming.
And he slew the dragon with his sword with a smile that
was so disarming.
With a hey and a ho and a hey nany no, a smile that was
so disarming.

Said the King I wish to know your name, but the knight
said do not bother.
For the name of a knight of the realm says he, is the
same as any other.
Said the King tonight in my daughter's bed you shall
take your leisure.
And she'll reward you for your deed, with a night of
exhausting pleasure.
With a hey and a ho and a hey nany no, anight of exhausting pleasure.

One daughter she had raven hair, a maiden young and
chaste.
And she slept all night in the pale moonlight, naked to
the waist.
The other daughter she was fair, the fairest in the
town.
And she slept all night in the pale moonlight naked
from her small waist down.
With a hey and a ho and a hey nany no, naked from her
small waist down.

Well the knight he spends many hour behind the castle
wall.
But the ending to my story dear, isn't what it seems at
all.
For in neither bed of neither maid was he repaid for
his glory.
But he slept all night with the King instead for this
is a fairy story.
With a hey and a ho and a hey nany no, for this is a
Fairy story.
