Текст песни Sir Thanks-A-Lot - Ray Stevens

With a "hey, nanny nanny!" and a "hi ho ho!"
He jumped on his horse and away he go
"Up big fella, up boy, up, up and away!"

With shining armor and his sword by his side
He'd rip off and roar through the countryside
"¡Arriba, Arriba! Woooha, hey!"

In days of old when knights were bold
Lived Sir Thanks-A-Lot of the ol' round table
He was brave and he was bold
And he was always willing and able
To run to the rescue of a maiden in distress
Among all the knights there he were the best
The pride of old Camelot, was Sir Thanks-A-Lot.

One shiny morning our shiny knight was bopping
Through the castle when a page boy come a-runnin'
Through the hall and handed him a page...
On which was inscribed a note, a message if you will,

"Help, thanks a lot!"

Quick like a bunny his mind was working,
Wheels were turning like a BMI machine:
"Clickety-clack, flip-flap, tching!"
And immediately he suspected what had happened.
Yes, a fair damsel was being held prisoner
In the tower of the haunted castle
By the evil, fire-breathing dragon!
What else, same old routine...

So he grabbed his sword,
Jumped on his horse and rode on over...
Just in time to see this sweet young thing
Hanging out of the tower window by her toes, hollerin':

"Save me! Save me! Save me! Owww!
Owww! Save me, baby! Save me, baby!
Save me, save me, save me, save me!
Owww! Owww! Owww!
Whooo! Saaaave me, man..."

"Forsooth!" cried he.
"Forsooooooooth, fair maiden!
Never fear, Thanks-A-Lot is here!
I have cometh to saveth thee
From the foul clutches of yonder evil dragon, oh!"

And with that he leaped on his mighty stallion,
Leveled his lance and charged, crossed the moat
Over the drawbridge through the castle door
Killed the dragon and rescued the chick
Who smothered him with kisses.

"Thanks a lot, Thanks-A-Lot."

"You're welcome."

With a "hey, nanny nanny!" and a "hi ho ho!"
He jumped on his horse and away he go
"Up boy! Up big fella! Up, up and away!"

With shining armor and his sword by his side
He'd rip off and roar through the countryside
"¡Arriba, Arriba! Woooha, hey!"

(Stronger than dirt!)

With a "hey, nanny nanny!" and a "hi ho ho!"
He jumped on his horse and away he go
Up boy! Up big fella! Up, up and away!

With shining armor and his sword by his side...
