And of course Alan Sherman took it to a whole new level: In Sherwood Forest There dwelt a knight Who was known As the righteous Sir Greenbaum And many dragons Had felt the might Of the smite Of the righteous Sir Greenbaum I chanced upon him one morn When he'd recently rescued a maiden fair Why, why art thou so forlorn Sir Greenbaum, is thy heart heavy laden? Said he, "Forsooth, 'Tis a sorry plight That engendered my attitude bluish," Said he, "I don't wanna be a knight That's no job for a boy who is Jewish. All day with the mighty sword And the mighty steed and the mighty lance All day with that heavy shield And a pair of aluminum pants. All day with the slaying and slewing And smiting and smoting like Robin Hood Oh, wouldst I could kick the habit And give up smoting for good." And so he said to the other knights, "You may have my possessions and my goods For I am moving to Shaker Heights Where I've got some connections in dry goods. Farewell to the dragon's paw And the other swashbuckling games and sports I'll work for my father-in-law When I marry Miss Guinevere Schwartz."
