- Behold The Lord High Executioner Lyrics[NOBLES]
Behold the Lord High Executioner
A personage of noble rank and title —
A dignified and potent officer
Whose functions are particularly vital!
Defer, defer
To the Lord High Executioner!
Defer, defer
To the noble Lord, to the noble Lord
To the Lord High Executioner!
[KO-KO]
Taken from the county jail
By a set of curious chances;
Liberated then on bail
On my own recognizances;
Wafted by a favouring gale
As one sometimes is in trances
To a height that few can scale
Save by long and weary dances;
Surely, never had a male
Under such like circumstances
So adventurous a tale
Which may rank with most romances
[KO-KO & NOBLES]
Taken from the county jail
(Taken from the county jail)
By a set of curious chances;
(Liberated then on bail)
Surely, never had a male
(Surely, never had a male)
So adventurous a tale
(So adventurous a tale.)
[NOBLES]
Defer, defer
To the Lord High Executioner!
Defer, defer
To the noble Lord
To the noble Lord High Executioner!
Bow down, bow down
To the Lord High Executioner!
Defer, defer
To the noble, noble Lord
To the High Executioner!
Behold the Lord High Executioner
A personage of noble rank and title —
A dignified and potent officer
Whose functions are particularly vital!
Defer, defer
To the Lord High Executioner!
Defer, defer
To the noble Lord, to the noble Lord
To the Lord High Executioner!
[KO-KO]
Taken from the county jail
By a set of curious chances;
Liberated then on bail
On my own recognizances;
Wafted by a favouring gale
As one sometimes is in trances
To a height that few can scale
Save by long and weary dances;
Surely, never had a male
Under such like circumstances
Which may rank with most romances
[KO-KO & NOBLES]
Taken from the county jail
(Taken from the county jail)
By a set of curious chances;
(Liberated then on bail)
Surely, never had a male
(Surely, never had a male)
So adventurous a tale
(So adventurous a tale.)
[NOBLES]
Defer, defer
To the Lord High Executioner!
Defer, defer
To the noble Lord
To the noble Lord High Executioner!
Bow down, bow down
To the Lord High Executioner!
Defer, defer
To the noble, noble Lord
To the High Executioner!
