about
(Pennyfeather)
lyrics
History surrounds me
And I become the
King of ancient Greece
Surrounded by sultry ladies
And then I let the slaves go free
And everyone loved me
Yes, everyone loved me
Cos I was their beloved king
They all loved me
Cos I was their King
And if they didn’t it would mean
A beheading
Then I wound up in gay Paris
Where I serenaded girls pretty
And we
Sat and sipped coffee
And bathed in a fizzy sea
Of champagne so bubbly
And everyone thought I was lovely
Yes, they all thought I was lovely
All the French ladies
Thought I was lovely
Yes, that’s right … me!
Yes, they all loved me
Then I was under a tree
In cloudy 1860
Outside of Bletchley
And dined with Charlie
D. oh he
Was happy
To have a guest like me
To have a guest like me
And as his wife gave us seconds
I said, "Mr Dickens
You really know how to pick ‘em
But now another adventure beckons
And I must leave in a few seconds."
And Charles said then,
"Paul, you’re a cherished friend
And I’ll write about you when
I pick up the pen again."
I was Charles Dickens’ best friend
Well, maybe not best but still a friend
And he loved me
Cos everyone did, you see
They all loved me ...
