Behold the Lord
High Executioner!
a personage
of noble rank and title
A dignified
and potent officer
whose functions
are particularly vital!
Defer, defer, to the
Lord High Executioner!
Defer, defer, to the
noble Lord
to the noble Lord
to the Lord
High Executioner!
Taken from the
county jail
by a set of
curious chances
Liberated then on bail
On my own
recognizances
Wafted by a fav'ring gale
As one sometimes is
in trances
To a height that
few can scale
Save by long
and weary dances
Surely never had a male
Under such-like
circumstances
So adventurous a tale
which may rank
with most romances
Taken from
the county jail
by a set of
curious chances
Surely, never had a male
so adventurous a tale
Defer, defer, to the
Lord High Executioner!
Defer, defer, to the
noble Lord
to the noble Lord
High Executioner!
Bow down, bow down
to the Lord High
Executioner!
Defer, defer, to the
noble, noble Lord
the High Executioner!
