SIR HUMPHREY FIDDLESTIX<\/span><\/b>
\n\u00a9Trev Teasdel Coventry 1974<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nChorus<\/span>
\nHere comes Sir Humphrey Fiddlestix<\/span><\/i>
\nRiding on his bike<\/span><\/i>
\nAll his life he’s sat on riches<\/span><\/i>
\nThe peasant’s in the dyke.<\/span><\/i>
\n
<\/span>
\nCome on Humphrey share out your wealth<\/span>
\nIt never did anything for your health.<\/span>
\nMany starving in your land<\/span>
\nWhy don’t you give them a hand.<\/span>
\nOr have you grown too fat, hat, silly old pratt!<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nChorus<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nYou’ve got more than you could ever need.<\/span>
\nYou’ve been over generous with your greed.<\/span>
\nSnoozing in your counting hut.<\/span>
\nPoor boy in the gutter with an empty gut.<\/span>
\nMust you always sit on such a hoard, Lord, I’m so bored!<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nChorus<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nAll the kings sit in their castle,<\/span>
\nAs all the dirty old rascals,<\/span>
\nWork hard to bring them riches,<\/span>
\nThen go home to holes in ditches.<\/span>
\nOh Humphry, time you gave as well as took, hook, crook crook crook!<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nChorus 2<\/span>
\nHere comes Sir Humphrey Fiddlestix<\/span><\/i>
\nFalling off his bike<\/span><\/i>
\nPeasants drag him to their ditches<\/span><\/i>
\nLike a big fat bulbous pike.<\/span><\/i>
\n
<\/span>
\nThen the peasants burnt his castle.<\/span>
\nSir Humphrey was the real rascal.<\/span>
\nThey worked hard for all they needed.<\/span>
\nSir Humphrey’s garden was promptly weeded.<\/span>
\nSir Humphrey you’ve had your day<\/span>
\nNow it’s time we had our say…<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nChorus 3<\/span>
\nThere goes Sir Humphrey Fiddlestix<\/span><\/i>
\nHe’s been overthrown.<\/span><\/i>
\nThis land is now the people’s land.<\/span><\/i>
\nNew seeds they have been sown.<\/span><\/i>
\n
<\/span>
\n…<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nThe idea for this first came in 1972 after a visit to Weston Super Mare to visit my friend Sue. Her boyfriend’s parents ran the Model Village in Weston and visited it. I noted Fiddlestix Castle and began to write some lyrics on the brochure, finishing it later in 1974.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
