Feeling showed more than the words they said
What a lady, what a knight

I sat there, I could only think "Why me?"
Oh what a knight
Starts a war to keep his lady near
Nothing but sheer bone from ear to ear
Teeth of Torak, what a knight

Nearly caused an ice age - oh well, everybody blunders

Oh what a knight!
Oh I
I got a funny feeling when she walked in the room
Oh why
Could she think it happened much too soon
Oh what a knight
Why did it take so long to see the light
Seemed so wrong, but now it seems so right
What a lady, what a knight!
