~ !.Q.!! ERICH HLODOI'/ECHSSIDl

(Tune: "The Jolly Tinker")

Well, when I first met Erich, He was quiet and demure. How he's just like Baron Stephen; He's tossed it in the sewer .

CHORUS: --- Yes, indeed he did, Don't you know he did, Tell me right-fa-lor-e-laddie, Yea, indeed he did.

~hen Erich looked at Stephen, A-stAndinp, proud and tall, He said , "ldaybe I can ~et some tail, If I'm a seneschal."

CHORUS: Yes, indeed be did , etc.

He said, "I'll be like Stephen, flo matter l'lhat the cost." He reads maps just like Stephen, And like Stephen he eets lost.

CHORUS: Yes, indeed he does, etc.

He's just like Stephen when he says , "I never s et no tush." But if a lass sits in his lap, He goes into a blush.

CHORUS: Yes, indeed be does, etc.

And like out traitor he did say , He'd serve Meridies. He said , "They'll call me traitor!" He also ·said, "It pays."

CHORUS: Yes indeed he did, etc.

We've had to shackle Stephen; So he cannot have fun. ·,ve can't let him have bad habits; Erich picks up every one.

CHORUS: Yes, indeed he does, etc.

-Lord Brom Blackband (from The Dead Sea Scrolls, 18 (.:~nearl'Y"i1amefor The Pews) )
