Lyr Add: Correction to Philosopher's song

Subject: Lyr Add: Correction to Philosopher's song
From: pavane

Following the two lines:

There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya
'Bout the raising of the wrist.

I think there should be another line :
Socrates himself was permanently pissed

I think that's:
Socrates himself is particularly missed -
Nice little thinker but a bugger when he's pissed.

Cheers

I seem to remember both those lines as correct. The latter coming at the end of the song.
C-flat.

Yes both should be in the song (maybe ..a lovely little thinker..) but as Pavane says the 1st is missing in the DT.

It is indeed, a lovely little thinker but a bugger when he's pissed.

Incidentally, this song was the subject for a round in 'University Challenge' a few weeks back - one of the rare occasions that I've ever got all three and the starter questions right... the other occasion was about bagpipes and I'd rather not go into that....
