The Cretan Archers
With apologies to Paulio Vellia
Sup up your wine and collect your fags,
There�s a row going on down near Rhodes,
Get out your bow and look to the west,
I�ll get out mine and string it myself.
Thought you were smart when you took them on,
But you didn�t dish out coins to the mercenary men,
All that buggery may put hairs on your chest,
But what chance have you got against Heraklions best?
Hello-hurrah - what a nice day - for the Cretan Archers,
Hello-hurrah - I hope rain stops play - with the Cretan Archers.
Thought you were clever when you lit that pyre,
Lit up all the halls of Athens and the streets of Tyre,
Compose a revolutionary symphony,
Then went to bed with a Spartan called Steve.
Hello-hurrah - cheers then mate - it�s the Cretan Archers,
Hello-hurrah - an extremist scrape - with the Cretan Archers.
What a catalyst you turned out to be,
Pulled back the strings then you run off home for your tea,
Left me standing - like a guilty Hoplite.
We came out of it naturally the worst,
Beaten and bloody and I was sick down my greaves,
We were no match for their composite bows,
Though some of the lads said that they�d hire them next week.
Hello-hurrah - there�s a price to pay - to the Cretan Archers,
Hello-hurrah - I�d prefer the plague - to the Cretan Archers.
Hello-hurrah - there�s a price to pay - to the Cretan Archers,
Hello-hurrah - I�d prefer the plague - to the Cretan Archers
