An Ode To Thieves
AN ODE TO THIEVES
The legislators and bankers went off to sea
In a beautiful pea green boat.
They took some honey and lots of money
Wrapped in a beautiful pea green tote
The legislators looked up at the stars above
And sang to a small guitar.
O worshipful banker! lovely banker my love!
What a wonderful benefactor you are.
Let us be married
Too long we have tarried
But, what shall we do for a ring?
Oh what shall we do for a ring?
Hey! Hey!
They sailed away for a year and a day
To the land where the tax trees grow
And there in a wood some taxpayers stood
A ring at the end of their nose
glorious day, a ring at the end of their nose.
And hand in hand at the edge of the sand
They danced by the light of the moon
By the light of the silvery moon
The moon the moon
the light of the silvery moon.
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
