Lady Godiva (with apologies to the Beatles)
|
|
<p>OK, to prepare for this read up on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Godiva">the legend of Lady Godiva</a>, and then read the lyrics of the Beatles’ <a href="http://www.lyricsfreak.com/b/beatles/lady+madonna_20014569.html">Lady Madonna</a>. You might want to take the three minutes or so to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfthrizXKOM">watch it being performed</a>.</p>
|
|
<p>Now sing this to yourself:</p>

|
Lady Godiva, peasants at your feet
|
|
Suddenly you wonder how they make ends meet
|
|
Husband takes the money when they pay the rent
|
|
Did you think that money was heaven sent?
|
|
|
|
Begging him to give the poor their stores back
|
|
Sunday has you creeping like a nun
|
|
He'll do it if you streak the town on horseback
|
|
See how they run!
|
|
|
|
Thomas the peeper, gazing at your breast
|
|
Wonders if he'll manage to see the rest.
|
|
Peeping through a knothole, blinded by delight
|
|
Monday's when he traded that to lose his sight.
|
|
|
|
Tuesday afternoon is neverending
|
|
Wednesday morning's income didn't come
|
|
Thursday night your stocking needed mending
|
|
See how they run!
|
|
|
|
Lady Godiva, servants at your feet
|
|
Suddenly you wonder how you'll make ends meet.
