Behold the Lord High Executioner lyrics
Behold the Lord-High Executioner!
A personage of noble rank and title!
A dignified and potent officer!
Whose functions are particularly vital!
Defer, defer,
To the Lord High Executioner!
Defer, defer,
To the noble Lord, to the noble Lord
To the Lord-High Executioner!
Taken from the County Jail
By a set of curious chances
Liberated then on bail,
On my own recognisances.
Lifted up so all would hail,
Given weakly allowances,
To a height that few can scale,
Saved by long and weary dances.
Surely never had a male,
Under suchlike circumstances:
So adventurous a tale,
That might rank with most romances!
Taken from the County Jail
By a set of curious chances
Surely never had a male,
So adventurous a tale!
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-defer!
To the Lord High Executioner!
Defer, defer,
To the noble Lord, to the noble Lord
To the Lord-High Executioner!
Bow down, bow down!
To the Lord High Executioner!
Defer, defer,
To the noble Lord, to the noble Lord
To the Lord-High Executioner!
