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"
