What are your favorite songs that have been in a Monty Python performance (Holy Grail, Flying Circus, Spam-a-lot, anything!)?
My three favorites are "Knights of the Round Table" (Holy Grail), "Brave Sir Robin" (Holy Grail), and "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" (Life of Brian). I will try to post the lyrics once I find them. Also, I have a habit of annoying people on chat with Bright Side of Life (and getting kicked as a result).
EDIT:
Knights of the Round Table
We're the Knights of the Round Table!
We dance when ere we're able!
We do routines and chorus scenes,
With footwork impeccable!
We dine well here in Camelot,
We eat ham and jam and spam a lot!
*Musical Break*
We're the Knights of the Round Table!
Our shows are formidable!
But many times, we're given rhymes,
That are quite unsingable!
We're opera mad in Camelot,
We sing from the diaphragm a lot!
*Musical Break*
In war we're tough and able,
Quite indefatigable!
Between our quests, we sequin vests,
And impersonate Clark Gable!
It's a busy life in Camelot!
Bass: I have to push the pram a lot!
*Musical Break*
*End*
Brave Sir Robin
Bravely bold Sir Robin,
Rode forth from Camelot.
He was not afraid to die,
O brave Sir Robin!
He was not at all afraid,
To be killed in nasty ways!
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin!
He was not in the least bit scared,
To be mashed into a pulp.
Or to have his eyes gouged out,
Or his elbows broken!
To have his kneecaps split,
Or have his body burned away!
And his limbs all hacked and mangled!
Brave Sir Robin.
His head smashed in,
and his heart cut out!
And his liver removed,
and his bowels unplugged!
And his nostrils raped,
and his bottom burnt off!
And his pen-
Sir Robin: That's...that's enough music for now, lads...
Brave Sir Robin ran away,
Robin: No!
Bravely ran away, away!
Robin: I didn't!
When danger reared its ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled!
Robin: I never!
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about,
and gallantly he chickened out!
Robin: You're lying!
Bravely taking to his feet,
He beat a very brave retreat!
Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin!
