Canterbury - Momus

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
