You know, your man Luke is a communist.
He gives punishments to the poor and everything.
So, for the ladies and gentlemen in the audience, not mentioning certain people who are not, we will sing a little bit of religion.
In the land of Locke lived an old saint, renowned for his learning and [E] piety.
[A] His manners were curious [D] and quaint, [E] and he looked upon [A] girls with disparity.
[D]
[E] [A] He was fond of reading a book, when he could get [E] one to his wishes.
[A] He was fond of casting [D] his hook
[E] in among the [A] young fishes.
[E] [A]
[D] [A] [E] Well, [A]
one evening he landed a trout.
He landed a fine [E] big trout, sir.
One [A] cat leaving him over [D] the way, [E] came to see what the old monk was [A] about, sir.
[E] [A] [D] [A]
[E] [A] Well, he got out of his way to the saint, for he was a man of [E] great piety.
[A] And he had good manners, he would [D] not taint, [E] not be mixing with female [A] society.
[E] [A]
[D] [E] [A]
But Kitty, she was a woman, and she was a woman.
She would not give in.
And when he got home to [E] his rockery, [A] he found she was seated [D] therein, [E] polishing up his [A] old crockery.
[D] [A]
[E] [A] Well, he gave the poor crate to the saint, and he wished that a gardener [E] had caught him.
[A] But he flew right [D] into the lake, and [E] he sang [A] to the poor bird.
