Soggy Old Blondes

From the CD free with certain Spamalot programmes.    

King Arthur: Riding one day by a body of beautiful water 

I saw a strangle and wonderful, magical thing 

And out from the lake with a sword in her hand came the lady 

A beautiful lady that told me that I'm your king 

Ooooooooooooooooh 

She's got what I wanted 

Ooooooooooooooooh 

She's got what I need 

Ooooooooooooooooh 

This lady's enchanted 

Lady of the lake, all covered in weeds 

Dennis: Soggy old blondes with their backsides in ponds is no mandate 

You can't be the king through some moistened old thing in a pool 

You don't get the word from some half-naked bird in a pond, mate 

Executive power from girls in a shower, you're a fool! 

Ooooooooooooooooh 

That's not what we wanted 

Ooooooooooooooooh 

That's not what we choose 

Ooooooooooooooooh 

She may be enchanted 

But ladies in ponds just wearing frongs, we refuse 

Lady Of The Lake: Come with me now young man, and you won't regret it 

Why don't you come and join me here in my lake? 

I'll make you a knight like you won't never forget it 

You'll see what a difference a fabulous lady can make 

All: Oooooooooooooooooh 

She's got what she wanted 

Ooooooooooooooooh She's got what you need 

Oooooooooooooooh 

This lady's enchanted Go with her into the reeds
