Momus - Canterbury lyrics

When we get to Canterbury
It'll be great, wait and see
The food? Hot! The women? A lot!
And a crypt fit to make you
Wanna die on the spot

Hey my name is Nick
I'm a scholar and a mover
Alisoun's my lover, Absolom you are a loser
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey hey hey

Pressing on ahead to Canterbury
It'll be wonderful, probably
Also the flowers, great along the way
And the tales we tell both night and day

Well I'm the Wife of Bath and I'm a real lady
What women most desire is sovereignty
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey hey hey

Well they call me Chauntecleer
I'm the king of the cocks
And I'm proud of the way I escaped from a fox
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey hey hey

Well I start to feel a
Hope that we never arrive
Art is the dope that makes me feel alive
The flowers grow huge along the way
And we tell big fibs the livelong day
Ladies and gentlemen and Geoffrey
Forget Canterbury

Brother Symkyn, I'm a miller and a swindler
Swyve my daughter you'll be living in a river
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey hey hey
