Lyrics
- Well my bags have all been packed,
- All my clothes and neckerchiefs
- I’ve kissed my mum, I’ve fed the cat,
- It’s time for me to leave,
- I’m off for Camelot
- Big city walls,
- I’m off for Camelot
- The future calls…
- But wait now, what is this?
- You’ve got to be kidding!
- Did I just hear the king say
- magic is forbidden?
- My greatest asset I must somehow now keep hidden
- And it’s clear that I could use some wisdom
- Slash dragon, won’t you tell me what’s my destiny
- Slash dragon, must you always speak so cryptically
- I need some guidance, not a goddamn mystery, slash dragon!
- Well I fought with the king’s son,
- And then I saved his life,
- Now I am his manservant,
- Like that’s some kind of prize,
- But this is Camelot,
- Land of silly hats
- Yes this is Camelot,
- Where the princes all are prats
- And I bet all the girls think
- Arthur’s such a charmer
- But I’m nostalgic
- For the lifestyle of a farmer
- Back when my days were filled
- By things other than armor,
- His stupid, heavy, complicated armor,
- That stupid, shiny, gorgeous…armor.
- Slash dragon are you sure
- Our Arthurs are the same?
- Cause yours sounds pretty cool
- And mine is pretty lame
- I don’t mean “mine” like “mine”
- But um, uh, anyway
- Slash dragon
- So, I drank some poisoned wine
- Collapsed into a heap
- And Arthur bravely saved my life
- While I was asleep
- Asleep in Camelot
- Where men are more than they seem
- Asleep in Camelot
- Having interesting dreams…
- And I may be wise someday but there’s so much I don’t know
- Slash dragon you said that the half can’t hate what makes it whole
- Did you mean it how I think you might’ve meant it,
- And what should I do if so?
- Slash dragon
- Slash dragon told me Arthur’s fate is tied with mine,
- Slash dragon said that our two futures intertwine
- And then he handed me a book of pick-up lines,
- Slash dragon
