The Table |
This table has four sturdy legs |
A heart of very near wild oak |
When others would have screamed out loud, my friend |
This one never even spoke |
I’ve been sat upon (ooh) |
I’ve been spat upon (ooh) |
I’ve been treated like a bed |
Been carried like a stretcher when someone thinks they’re dead |
I’ve been dined upon (ooh) |
I’ve been wined upon (ooh) |
I’ve been taken for a fool |
Taken for a desk when they should have been at school |
This table’s been pushed against the door |
When tempers, well tempers flare at night |
Banged upon with knuckles clenched my friend |
When someone thinks that they are right |
Tables only turn when tables learn |
Put me on a bonfire, watch me burn |
Treat me with some dignity, don’t treat me like a slave |
Or I’ll turn to the coffin in your grave |
