lyrics

And this is my pledge
Whenever I fear those rumors
I’ll scotch them right away
When evil words are spread about you
Words swinish and numerous
I’ll leap from the ledge
I conquer those who would doubt you
I’ll swoop and scotch
And bring you a bright new day

I will scotch I’ll unbesmirch
>From the shadow I will lurch
I will scotch Unsully your name
You’ll never be the same

(starting to sing the wrong verse):

And when I return to my — Banana bring pain
I bring the force of the sun and he’s a small stain
A pack of wandering dogs With pure hate
Dare to speak against you Dead, they’re dead, they’re…

I will scotch Revoke the bad
Slanderers will wish they never had
Exhibited such bias toward disdain
Never be the same

I will scotch I’ll unbesmirch
From the shadows I will lurch
I will scotch Unsully your name
You’ll never be the same

When-en I return to my room
I sob and sob and sob in my tiny room gloom
Who is there to protect me?
Where is my shining light?
And hang up pork and beans Sob ’til morning’s light

I will scotch Honor restore
Those who would defy me I’ll implore
To cast away words that defame
You’ll never be the same

I will scotch I’ll unbesmirch
>From the shadow I will lurch
I will scotch Unsully your name
You’ll never be the same

I will scotch I’ll unbesmirch
From the shadows I will lurch
I’ll scotch Unsully your name
You’ll never be the same

Bryan Beller.
