Sir Greenbaum's Madrigal-Allan Sherman

Sir Greenbaum's Madrigal - Allan Sherman In Sherwood Forest There dwelt a knight Who was known As the righteous Sir Greenbaum And many dragons Had felt the might Of the smite Of the righteous Sir Greenbaum I chanced upon him one morn When he'd recently rescued a maiden fair Why why art thou so forlorn Sir Greenbaum is thy heart heavy laden Said he "Forsooth 'Tis a sorry plight That engendered my attitude bluish" Said he "I don't wanna be a knight That's no job for a boy who is Jewish" All day with the mighty sword And the mighty steed and the mighty lance All day with that heavy shield And a pair of aluminum pants All day with the slaying and slewing And smiting and smoting like Robin Hood Oh wouldst I could kick the habit And give up smoting for good And so he said to the other knights "You may have my possessions and my goods For I am moving to Shaker Heights Where I've got some connections in dry goods Farewell to the dragon's paw And the other swashbuckling games and sports I'll work for my father in law When I marry Miss Guinevere Schwartz"
