about

This track is dedicated to my dear friend and brother-in-arms Michael Zawel. RIP my dear friend

lyrics

Oh…

I’m a Cavalier and I’m OK,
I wench all night and I fence all day.

It’s beer and ale I drink for lunch
I live on bread and brie.
On Wednesdays I go shopping,
And fight the bourgeoisie.

(refrain)

With dagger bright,
and rapier sharp,
I cut and thrust all day,
and when I take the war-field,
the cowards run away!

(refrain)

I eat and sleep and drink and wench,
Fight armies near and far.
I put on fancy clothing,
Then go pick fights in bars.

(refrain)

The ladies love my fancy clothes,
I have a nice Goatee,
my shirts have lacy collars
and sleeves that are poofy.

(refrain)

I sleep and eat and drink too much,
I buy lace by the yard.
I wish I’d been a doily,
Just like my dear Papa-rd.

(refrain)

(refrain)
