I don't fancy a Knight in shining armor He busies himself with the task of polishing and scrubbing Pleased with himself, thinking ev'ry female's a damsel in distress. No, I don't fancy a Knight in shining armor His demeanor is convincing Chivalry is maintained Yet he cares nothing but his reputation. What life could he offer me? He'll spend days and nights galloping with his fierce stallion slaying enemies and woes I pity the lady who becomes his wife for she'll feel lonely and deserted even in her loveliest attire and castle. Compared to him, a peasant's more pleasant A peasant will stay and form a solid family A knight will ride off and forget his family Stability and reality is stronger than jewelled hopes.
