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 |
