I heard the news the other day
Though I scarce could be believing
Concerning of poor Erik's fate
It set my heart a grieving
It's not that they had dragged him off
To the war with all its horrors
He'd gone to a fate much worse than that
For they'd taken him for the Morris

Eric used to like to singaround
Lord Franklin with bold relish
But now he's gone and blacked his face
And with bells he is embellished
While walking past he stopped to watch
A move that was not clever
They shoved a stick into his hand
And now he's gone forever

Singing

Dance, dance with wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance" said he
Mutant ninja Morris dancers
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Do you want my body, do you think I'm sexy
Somehow I don't think so
Come back to my campervan and maybe ,later on
I'll show you my manboobs and...(nudge nudge
You can play on on my melodeon, melodeon
Yes, you can play on my melodeon

The guilty look upon his face
Told us that they had got him
And now he's gone beyond recall
Twas better that they had shot him
They could have chosen Bill or Ben
Or Brian, Stan or Horace
With copious promises of beer
They lured him to the Morris

Singing

Dance, dance with wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance" said he
Mutant ninja Morris dancers
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Do you want my body, do you think I'm sexy
Somehow I don't think so
Come back to my campervan and maybe, later on
I'll show you my manboobs and... (Nudge nudge)
You can play on on my melodeon, melodeon
Yes, you can play on my melodeon

When e'er I think about the dance
Though done so trim and neatly
My heart will groan and heave a sigh
They've taken him completely
An estate agent called Trevor
An accountant who's named Derek
They all dance in formation now
Alas, alas poor Erik

Singing

Dance, dance with wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance" said he
Mutant ninja Morris dancers
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Do you want my body, do you think I'm sexy
Somehow I don't think so
Come back to my campervan and maybe, later on
I'll show you my manboobs and... (Nudge nudge)
You can play on on my melodeon, melodeon
Yes, you can play on my melodeon
Melodeon, yes, you can play on my melodeon
