The Brave Sir Robin Song

Written by Eric Idle and Neil Innes, the Brave Sir Robin Song was feautred in The Holy Grail and was sung by Neil Innes and Sir Robin (Eric Idle)'s Minstrals. The first part was sung in the beginnig of his journey, and the second half right after he ran away from the three-headed knight.

Bravely bold Sir Robin, rode forth to Camelot.
He was not afraid to die, O Brave Sir Robin.
He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways.
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin!

He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp,
Or to have his eyes gouged out, and his elbows broken.
To have his kneecaps split, and his body burned away,
And his limbs all hacked and mangle, brave Sir Robin!

His head smashed in and his heart but out,
And his lover removed and his bowels unplugged,
And his nostrills raped and his bottom burned of,
And his penis......
(Robin Interrupts Song)

Minstrel: Brave Sir Robin ran away

Robin: No!

Minstrel: Bravely ran away away

Robin: No!

Minstrel: Yes Brave Sir Robin turned about

Robin: I didn't!

Minstrel: And gallantly he chickened out Bravely taking to his feet

Robin: I never did!

Minstrel: He beat a very brave retreat

Robin: All lies!

Minstrel: Bravest of the brave Sir Robin

Robin: I never!


(Later.......)

Minstrel: Packing it in and packing it up
And steaking away and buggering off
And chickening out and pissing off home
Yes, bravely he is throwing in the sponge
