The Monk of Priory Hall

[slowly]
There was a monk of Priory Hall
There was a monk of Priory Hall
There was a monk of Priory Hall
[quickly] Who bashed his balls against the wall

Spoken (one person):
The old sod.
The dirty old bastard.
The bugger deserves to die

Chorus (tune "Ach, Du Lieber, Augustin) (everyone!):
Balls to Mr. Banglestein, Banglestein, Banglestein
Balls to Mr. Banglestein,
Dirty old man
When he's not copulating
Then he's masturbating
So balls to Mr. Banglestein
Dirty old man.

[slowly]
He met a girl with jet black hair
He met a girl with jet black eyes
He met a girl with jet black eyes
[quickly] And jet black hair between her thighs.

Spoken (one person):
The old sod.
The dirty old bastard
The bugger deserves to die

Chorus (tune "Ach, Du Lieber, Augustin) (everyone!):
Balls to Mr. Banglestein, Banglestein, Banglestein
Balls to Mr. Banglestein,
Dirty old man
When he's not copulating
Then he's masturbating
So balls to Mr. Banglestein
The dirty old man.

[slowly]
He took her to his lily white bed
He took her to his lily white bed
He took her to his lily white bed
[quickly] And fucked her and fucked her 'til she was dead.

Spoken (one person):
The old sod.
The dirty old bastard
The bugger deserves to die

Chorus (tune "Ach, Du Lieber, Augustin) (everyone!):
Balls to Mr. Banglestein, Banglestein, Banglestein
Balls to Mr. Banglestein,
Dirty old man
For he keeps us waiting
While he's masturbating
So balls to Mr. Banglestein

[slowly]
He bowed his grief and pain
He bowed his grief and pain
He bowed his grief and pain
[quickly] So he fucked her back to life again

Spoken (one person):
The old sod.
The dirty old bastard
The bugger deserves to die

Chorus (tune "Ach, Du Lieber, Augustin) (everyone!):
Balls to Mr. Banglestein, Banglestein, Banglestein
Balls to Mr. Banglestein,
Dirty old man
For he keeps us waiting
While he's masturbating
So balls to Mr. Banglestein
Dirty old man.
