Good evening my merry friends, my name is Samuel. You may have heard
of me from such tales as "The Legend of Samuel the Great", "The Tales of
Sam and his Merry Widows", "The Tales of Sam Bludgeoning Thousands of
People Innocently": yes, I'm a cruel, cruel man.
But everything has changed. Something happened in my life which changed everything, and I'd like to sing you a song about it, with the help of my friend Tom... They say I look a bit like Hercules Bravest guys simply look into my eyes and fall onto their knees "I beseech thee!" "Pray don't hurt me!" They beg for mercy... "PLEASE!" I am descended from the house of Ra (the Egyptian Sun God) Expectations of generations, destined to go far But new girl in town, my defenses down, Love falling out, she was calling out my name ("Sammy!") [Chorus 1:] And now all I do Clean the kitchen, water the plants, whatever she wants me to She's the one who earns our living and now my life to her I'm giving And all my hero days I'm putting in my past I'm on the wagon from killing dragons - I really can't be arsed No more damsels in distress - with a jealous girlfriend it's such a mess "I guess that you could say he was the strongest man alive" (Greater than the mightiest titan) "Beasts around came tumbling down, one two three four five...." But now I live for the girl of my fancy "But she's just turned him into a nancy boy" [Chorus 2:] All I want to do Have a quick shave, I'm off to Kwik Save where all my dreams come true I'll buy chicken wings and all manner of things And a ham and cheese slice is three for the price of two Changing my style Instead of fighting off killer bats, I'd rather stay home and feed the cats Keeping the house all spick and span takes everything out of this incredible man Yes, I have changed - for the better I feel. You may be surprised to look at me now and think that one day I inspired men with dread, women with passion... The other day I was mistaken - I came across a young little boy called Johnny. He was so afraid, you should have seen the look in his eyes! He looked at me and said "Please don't hurt me"... He said "Please - don't break my bones!" He said that - yes, he did... And I thought, "Poor Johnny, he doesn't realised I've changed". I caressed his forehead, I popped a little pepper into his top pocket, I even gave him one of those lovely chocolates you can pick up from restaurants, you know the ones I mean... I looked at him and I said:
