The Lion of Malbury Manor (Interlude) [Modern Men] Lyrics

Sire, there's been rumours of a blue fairy hanging around the grounds

Shall we address it, or shall I simply leave her be

And what makes the modern man

Is it the shoes he wears on his feet

Is it the clothes he carries on his back

Or is it the gold in his pocket

What makes the man modern

These days are frugal days, and we must hold

Any individual who carries themselves with a balanced stamina in high regard

For we live in an age when no fathers or pastors, teachers or prophets

The boy must maketh himself the man

One could compare manhood to Jesus Christ's long walk through Jerusalem

Me, I say manhood is a picnic on a hot summer's day

With tea and strawberries, surrounded by alligators

No Timothy, we shan't play outside

There's many things that can bite

Like do woops, and loglamines

And the fairies

Watch out for the fairies
