Richard the First Coeur de Lion	A
Is a name that we speak of with pride	B
Though he only lived six months in England	C
From his birth to the day that he died	B
	-
He spent all his time fighting battles	D
Dressed up in most rigid attire	E
For he had his suits made by the Blacksmith	F
And his underwear knitted of wire	E
	-
He married a lady from Flanders	G
Berengaria's what they called her	E
She turned out a good wife to Richard	H
In spite of a name like that there	I
	-
For when he came home from his fighting	J
She'd bandage the wounds in his sconce	K
And every time a snake bit him	L
She'd suck out the poison at once	M
	-
In their 'ouse they'd a minstrel called Blondel	N
To amuse them at t'end of the day'	H
And the King had but one thing against him	L
He had nobbut one tune he could play	N
	-
The Queen saw nowt wrong with the number	E
And would have it again and again	O
And when Richard said Put a sock in it	H
She'd give 'im a look full of pain	P
	-
The King got fed up at the finish	Q
And were so sick of 'earing it played	H
That he packed his spare suit on a wagon	A
And went off and joined the Crusade	H
	-
He got fighting the moment he landed	H
And though Saracen lads did their best	H
He cut off their heads in such numbers	G
That the hatmakers lodged a protest	H
	-
The Sultan whose name were Saladin	R
Thought he'd best try this business to stem	S
So he rode up to Richard and told him	L
He mustn't do that there to them	S
	-
Said Richard Oh Who's going to stop me	T
Said Saladin I will and quick	U
So the King poked his sword at the Sultan	A
Who in turn swiped his skimpter at Dick	U
	-
They fought all that day without ceasing	J
They fought till at last they both saw	V
That each was a match for the other	E
So they chucked it and called it a draw	V
	-
As Richard rode home in the moonlight	H
He heard someone trying to croon	W
And there by the roadside stood Blondel	N
Still playing his signature tune	W
	-
He'd worked out his passage from England	H
In search of his Master and Lord	H
And had swum the last part of the journey	T
'Cos his tune got 'im thrown overboard	H
	-
This meeting filled Richard with panic	U
He rode off and never drew rein	P
Till he got past the Austrian border	E
And felt he could breathe once again	O
	-
He hid in a neighbouring Castle	N
But he hadn't been there very long	X
When one night just outside his window	H
Stood Blondel still singing his song	X
	-
This 'ere took the heart out of Richard	H
He went home dejected and low	H
And the very next fight he got into	H
He were killed without striking a blow	H
