SEVEN DEADLY VIRTUES

Virtue and proper deeds, Your Majesty?
Like what?
Courage, Milord?
Purity and Humility, my liege?
Diligence? Charity? Honesty? Fidelity?
The seven deadly virtues?
No thank you, Your Majesty.

The seven deadly virtues
Those ghastly little traps
Oh no, my lord, they weren't meant for me
Those seven deadly virtues
They're made for other chaps
Who love a life of failure and ennui

Take Courage - Now there's a sport
An invitation to the state of rigor mort
And Purity- A noble yen
And very restful every now and then
I find Humility means to be hurt
It's not the earth the meek inherit - it's the dirt
Honesty is fatal and should be taboo
Diligence, a fate I would hate
If Charity means giving, I give it to you
And Fidelity is only for your mate
You'll never find a virtue unstatusing my quo
Or making my Be-ezlebubble burst
Let others take the high road
I will take the low
I cannot wait to rush in
Where angels fear to go
With those seven dealy virtues
Free and happy little me has not been cursed.
