Lyr Add: Monty Python Songs

Subject: Lyr/Chords Add: BOLD SIR ROBIN (from Monty Python)
From: chico


   Em                                    B7   Em
  Bravely bold Sir Robin rode forth from Camelot
                            D            G
  He was not afraid to die, O brave Sir Robin
                                  D                  (7)
  He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways
  Em      D      G       D        B7
  Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin
  
  He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp
  Or to have his eyes gouged out and his elbows broken
  To have his kneecaps split and his body burned away
  And his limbs all hacked and mangled, brave Sir Robin
  
        G                       D
  His head smashed in and his heart cut out
  And his liver removed and his bowels unplugged
  And his nostrils raped and his bottom burnt off
  And his...
  
  "Well that's enough music for now, lad"
  
   Em              D    Em 
  Brave Sir Robin ran away "No!"
                G             (Em)              
  Bravely ran away, away - I didn't!
        G                 D
  When danger reared its ugly head
      Em                 B7
  He bravely turned his tail and fled - No!
        G                D
  Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about
       Em           B7
  And gallantly he chickened out
   Em      D     G       B 
  Bravely taking to his feet
  He beat a very brave retreat
   Em     D        Em        G
  Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin
  
  [From 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail' 1975 Motion Picture]

THE PENIS SONG
(From Monty Python)

Isn't it awf'lly nice to have a penis?
Isn't it frightf'lly good to have a dong?
It is swell to have a stiffy; it's divine to own a dick,
From the tiniest little tadger to the world's biggest prick.
So three cheers for your Willy or John Thomas.
"Hooray!" for your one-eyed trouser snake,
Your piece of pork, your wife's best friend, your Percy or your cock.
You can wrap it up in ribbons; you can slip it in your sock,
But don't take it out in public or they will stick you in the dock
And you won't come back.

Subject: ADD: Every Sperm Is Sacred (Monty Python)
From: Joe Offer

Iains posted a YouTube link to this inspiring song in another thread. This song has been mentioned here many times, but I don't think the lyrics have ever been posted.

EVERY SPERM IS SACRED
(Terry Jones, Michael Palin, Andre Jacquemin, David Howman)

DAD:
There are Jews in the world.
There are Buddhists.
There are Hindus and Mormons, and then
There are those that follow Mohammed, but
I've never been one of them.

I'm a Roman Catholic,
And have been since before I was born,
And the one thing they say about Catholics is:
They'll take you as soon as you're warm.

You don't have to be a six-footer.
You don't have to have a great brain.
You don't have to have any clothes on. You're
A Catholic the moment Dad came,

Because

Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

CHILDREN:
Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

GIRL:
Let the heathen spill theirs
On the dusty ground.
God shall make them pay for
Each sperm that can't be found.

CHILDREN:
Every sperm is wanted.
Every sperm is good.
Every sperm is needed
In your neighbourhood.

MUM:
Hindu, Taoist, Mormon,
Spill theirs just anywhere,
But God loves those who treat their
Semen with more care.

MEN:
Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
WOMEN:
If a sperm is wasted,...
CHILDREN:
...God get quite irate.

PRIEST:
Every sperm is sacred.
BRIDE and GROOM:
Every sperm is good.
NANNIES:
Every sperm is needed...
CARDINALS:
...In your neighbourhood!

CHILDREN:
Every sperm is useful.
Every sperm is fine.
FUNERAL CORTEGE:
God needs everybody's.
MOURNER #1:
Mine!
MOURNER #2:
And mine!
CORPSE:
And mine!

NUN:
Let the Pagan spill theirs
O'er mountain, hill, and plain.
HOLY STATUES:
God shall strike them down for
Each sperm that's spilt in vain.

EVERYONE:
Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is good.
Every sperm is needed
In your neighbourhood.

I'm glad you appreciated it. I suspect today no children would be allowed to sing those particular lyrics. Life previously was perhaps more innocent.

I sort of half remember one that was on one of the Python lps, the VD song, it started 'An inflammation of the foreskin, reminds me of your smile...'

Subject: DT Corr:Always Look on the Bright Side of Life
From: Joe Offer

Here's the one Monty Python song that we chose for the Rise Again songbook. It's in the Digital Tradition, but here's my transcription. I think the DT has the line in italics wrong.

ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE
(Eric Idle)

Some things in life are bad, they can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse
When you’re chewing on life’s gristle, don’t grumble, give a whistle!
And this’ll help things turn out for the best

CHORUS
And always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the light side of life

If life seems jolly rotten, there’s something you’ve forgotten
And that’s to laugh and smile and dance and sing
When you’re feeling in the dumps, don’t be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle: that’s the thing! / Always…

For life is quite absurd and death’s the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow
Forget about your sin, give the audience a grin
Enjoy it, it’s your last chance anyhow

So always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath

Life’s a piece of shit when you look at it
Life’s a laugh and death’s a joke, it’s true
You’ll see it’s all a show, keep ’em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you

And always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the right side of life (repeat)

I often sing 'All Things Dull and Ugly' to myself when the Mormons, or suchlike, come knocking on my door. It cheers me up no end!
