Lyrics

All lyrics from Geoffrey Chaucer's Prologue to The Canterbury Tales except this bit by Marilyn Rucker:

Now the wife of Bath
Was a gap toothed babe
She?d buried five husbands
Along the way
And she had an interesting tale of marriage
That her fellow pilgrims could not disparage.
About a knight who was forced to seek
What makes wives happy and free of pique
This answer in a nutshell will have to do:
YOUR WIFE WANTS TO BE THE BOSS OF YOU!
(Shika shika shika shika shika shika boom)
Pilgrimage. Pilgrimage. We?re all going on a pilgrimage.
