in order to make the last line of the song a pun!Am C D F
There is a House in Old Challain
Am C E7
They call the “Rising Pun “
Am C D F
It's been the ruin of many a young squire
Am E7 Am E7
And gods, I know I'm one!Am C D F
2. Tanstaafl is a silly word
Am C E7
That will not make you sigh:
Am C D F
“There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch”, they say
Am E7 Am E7
With a knowin' wink of the eye.Am C D F
3. Now, I started out a serious lad
Am C E7
My fighting skills were keen
Am C D F
Tanstaafl turned my head around
Am E7 Am E7
Now they call me Sir (pause) Mister Bean!Am C D F
4. Got one eye on the fightin' field
Am C E7
The other on a lass
Am C D F
And when this tourney's over, my friend,
Am E7 Am E7
I think I'll get some (pause) water!Am C D F
5. Now, knights go tell your squires all
Am C E7
Not to do what I have done!
Am C D F
Spend your time with sword and shield
Am E7 Am E7
Instead of poking Fun!Return to HFS Filks
