From our first album, "Busted"

lyrics

For to see Mad Tom of Bedlam, ten thousand miles I'd travel
Mad Maudlin goes on dirty toes, for to save her shoes from gravel.

Chorus:
Still I sing bonny boys, bonny mad boys,
Bedlam boys are bonny,
For they all go bare and they live by the air,
And they want no drink nor money.

I went down to Satan's kitchen, for to beg me food one morning
And there I got souls pipin’ hot, all on the spit a-turnin’.

[Chorus]

There I picked up a cauldron, where boiled ten thousand harlots
Though full of flame I drank the same, to the health of all such varlets.

[Chorus]

My staff has murdered giants, my bag a long knife carries
For to cut mince pies out of children's thighs, and feed them to the fairies.

[Chorus]

It's when next I have murdered, the Man-In-The-Moon to powder
His staff I'll break and his dog I'll bake, there'll howl no demon louder.

[Chorus]

So drink to Tom of Bedlam, he'll fill the seas in barrels
I'll drink it all, all brewed with gall, with Mad Maudlin I’ll travel.

[Chorus x2, as a round]
