Ray Stevens - Sir Thanks-A-Lot lyrics

With a "hey nanny, nanny" and a "hi-ho-ho"
He'd jump on his horse and away he'd go
"Up,  big fella, up,  boy, up, up and away"
With shining armor and his sword by his side
He'd rip off and roar through the countryside
"Arriba, arriba,  whoo hah, hey"

In days of old when knights were bold
Lived Sir Thanks-A-Lot of the ol' round table
He was brave and he was bold
And he was always willing and able
To run to the rescue of a maiden in distress
Of all the knights there, he were the best
The pride of old Camelot was Sir Thanks-A-Lot
One shiny morning
Our shiny knight was bopping
Through the castle
When a pageboy come runnin' down the hall
Handed him a page
On which was inscribed a note, a message
If you will sayin', "Help, thanks a lot"
Quick like a bunny, his mind was working
Wheels were turning like a BMI machine
"Clickity-clack, flip-flap, ching"
And immediately
He suspected what had happened
Yes, a fair damsel was being held prisoner
In the tower of the haunted castle
By the evil, fire-breathing dragon
What else? Same old routine
So he grabbed his sword
Jumped on his horse and rode on over
Just in time to see this sweet young thing
Hanging out of the tower window by her toes
Hollerin'

"Save me, save me, save me
Ow, ow, save me, baby, save me, baby
Save me, save me, save me, save me
Ow, ow, ow whoo, save me, man"

"Forsooth", cried he "Forsooth, fair maiden
Never fear, Thanks-A-Lot is here
I have cometh to saveth thee
From the foul clutches of yonder evil dragon
Oh" and with that
He leaped on his mighty stallion
Leveled his lance and charged
Crossed the moat over the drawbridge
Through the castle door
Killed the dragon and rescued the chick
And was smothered with kisses

"Thanks a lot, Thanks-A-Lot"
"You're welcome"

With a "hey nanny, nanny" and a "hi-ho-ho"
He'd jump on his horse and away he'd go
"Up, boy, up, big fella, up, up and away"
With shining armor and his sword by his side
He'd rip off and roar through the countryside
"Arriba, arriba, whoo hah, hey"

(Stronger than dirt)

With a "hey nanny, nanny" and a "hi-ho-ho"
He'd jump on his horse and away he'd go
"Up, boy, up, big fella, up, up and away"
With shining armor and his sword by his side
