Fie on Goodness

[COMPANY]
I'm sick of goodness
Things are changing too fast
Fie on goodness, fie!
Fie on goodness, fie!
Fie on goodness, fie!
Two years of kindness to your neighbor
Making sure that the meek are treated well
Two years of philanthropic labor
Derry down dell, damn but it's hell
Oh, fie on goodness, fie!
Fie, fie, fie!

It's been depressing all the way (derry down, derry down)
And getting glummer every day (derry down, derry down)
But to burn a little town or slay a dozen men
Anything to laugh again
Oh, fie on goodness, fie!
Fie, fie, fie, fie, fie!

[KNIGHT ONE]
When I think of the rollicking pleasures that earlier filled my life
Lally lo, lally lo
Like the night I beheaded a man who was beating his naked wife
Lally lo, lally lo
I can still hear the widow say (Oh?)
Never moving from where she lay (Ah)
"Tell me what can I do
I beg sir of you
Your kindness to repay..."

[COMPANY]
Fie on goodness, fie
Fie on goodness, fie
Lechery and vice have been arrested (Arrested!)
Not a maiden is ever more in threat (Well!)
Virgins can wander unmolested (Unmolested!)
Lally lo let, gad it's a sweat
Oh, fie on goodness, fie
Fie, fie, fie, fie, fie!

[KNIGHT TWO]
How we roared and brawled in Scotland (Yes)
Not a law was e'er obeyed (Yes)
And when wooing called in Scotland (Yes)
We'd grab any passing maid
Oh, my heart is still in Scotland
Where the lasses woo the best
Yes, my heart is still in Scotland (Yeah)
Stroking someone's bonny...

[ARTHUR]
Yes, goddamn it!

[COMPANY]
Fie on Scotland, fie
Fie, fie, fie!
There's not a folly to deplore (derry down, derry down)
Confession Sunday is a bore (derry down, derry down)
But to spend a tortured evening staring at the floor
Guilty and alive once more
Oh, fie on virtue, fie
Fie on mercy, fie
Fie on justice, fie on goodness, fie, fie, fie, fie, fie!
