Lock Up Your Daughters (M.Brooks)

Hey! Feel the ground a-shaking
Hey! The dragon is awaking
Across the kingdom peasents 'scurrying
Across the kingdom landlords 'worrying
For their daughters being deflowered
For the livestock being devoured
For their sons being beaten
For their wives being eaten

CHORUS
     Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
     Lock up your daughters lock 'em up tight
     Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
     Dragons on the prowl tonight

Years ago they chased and caught him
Years ago some brave knight faught him
All the king's men thought they'd destroyed
All the king's men just annoyed him
St George a dragon's coming
St George you'd better start running
St George he didn't forget you
St George he's going to get you

CHORUS

          St George came out of hiding
          Feeling a little bolder
          The crowd yelled "George are you gonna kill the dragon?!"
          George said "*?#!  that for a game of soldiers!"

CHORUS

St George said "I've retired"
"St George!" said the king "You're fired!"
The king said "In my knights I trust"
The king's men took off in a cloud of dust
The age of the dragon is on it's way
The age of the dragon begins today
The age of the dragon is dawning
The age of the dragon began this morning

CHORUS
