Those Who Live in Grass Houses

Nine to Five

Nine to Five

Another day, another damsel,
another call to go and save,
puff out the chest and feel manful,
buff the armour, have a shave.

Saddle Dobbin and hit the road,
wend the way to dragon’s nest,
stab the brute and prod and goad,
eternal round, he knows you’re best.

Free the gentle charming lady,
set her on your tired steed,
lead the way to Castle Brady,
drop her off and home to feed.
