The Black Adder<\/strong><\/p>\n

(episodes 1-5)<\/strong>
\nThe sound of hoof beats ‘cross the glade,
\nGood folk, lock up your son and daughter,
\nBeware the deadly flashing blade,
\nUnless you want to end up shorter.
\nBlack Adder, Black Adder, he rides a pitch black steed.
\nBlack Adder, Black Adder, he’s very bad indeed.
\nBlack: his gloves of finest mole,
\nBlack: his codpiece made of metal,
\nHis horse is blacker than a vole,
\nHis pot is blacker than his kettle.
\nBlack Adder, Black Adder, with many an cunning plan.
\nBlack Adder, Black Adder, you horrid little man.<\/p>\n

“The Black Seal” (episode 6)<\/strong>
\nSo now the wage of sin is paid,
\nThe blameless dead, the black steed grazes.
\nThe only sound across the glade
\nIs Edmund pushing up the daisies.
\nBlack Adder, Black Adder, a shame about the plan.
\nBlack Adder, Black Adder, tha’ worked, you horrid man.<\/p>\n

\n

Blackadder II<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Bells”<\/strong>
\nLord Flashheart tweaked the Adder’s beard.
\nFrom now he always shall be single.
\nTo fall in love with boys is weird,
\nEspecially boys without a dingle.
\nBlack Adder, Black Adder, his taste is rather odd.
\nBlack Adder, Black Adder, the randy little sod.
\nLord Flashheart, Lord Flashheart, I wish you were the star.
\nLord Flashheart, Lord Flashheart, you’re sexier by far.<\/p>\n

“Head”<\/strong>
\nHis great-grandfather was a king,
\nAlthough for only thirty seconds.
\nWhen put in charge of beheading,
\nHe felt that fame and glory beckoned.
\nBlack Adder, Black Adder, no such blooming luck.
\nBlack Adder, Black Adder, Elizabethan shmuck.
\nBlack Adder, Black Adder, nothing goes as planned.
\nBlack Adder, Black Adder, life deals him a bum hand.<\/p>\n

“Potato”<\/strong>
\nSir Francis and Sir Walter had
\nDiscovered new worlds and new nations.
\nAnd though Black Adder thought them mad,
\nHe tried his hand at navigation.
\nBlack Adder, Black Adder, he saw the ocean’s foam.
\nBlack Adder, Black Adder, he should have stayed at home.
\nBlack Adder, Black Adder, he heard the new world’s call.
\nBlack Adder, Black Adder, discovered bugger-all.<\/p>\n

“Money”<\/strong>
\nTake heed the moral of this tale:
\nBe not a borrower or lender.
\nAnd if your finances do fail,
\nMake sure your banker’s not a bender.
\nBlack Adder, Black Adder, he trusted in the church.
\nBlack Adder, Black Adder, it left him in the lurch.
\nBlack Adder, Black Adder, his life was almost done.
\nBlack Adder, Black Adder, who gives a toss? No one.<\/p>\n

“Beer”<\/strong>
\nBlack Adder couldn’t hold his beer.
\nThe art of boozing he’s not mastered.
\nAnd I, your merry balladeer,
\nAm also well and truly plastered.
\nBlack Adder, Black Adder, a bit like Robin Hood.
\nBlack Adder, Black Adder, but nothing like as good.
\nBlack Ad<hic>, Black Adder, I thought that he had died.
\nBlack Adder, Black Adder, our writers must have lied.<\/p>\n

“Chains”<\/strong>
\nBeware all ye who lust for fame.
\nThe path of life is most uncertain.
\nPrince Ludwig thought he’d won the game.
\nBut now the Kraut’s gone for a burton.
\nBlack Adder, Black Adder, he beat the Hun by luck.
\nBlack Adder, Black Adder, he’s smarter than a duck.
\nLord Melchett, Lord Melchett, intelligent and deep.
\nLord Melchett, Lord Melchett, a shame about the sheep.<\/p>\n

\n

Blackadder’s Christmas Carol<\/strong>
\nHe’s kind & gen’rous to the sick,
\nHe’d never spread a nasty rumour.
\nHe never gets on people’s wick,
\nAnd doesn’t laugh at toilet humour.
\nBlackadder, Blackadder,
\nHe’s sickeningly good.
\nBlackadder, Blackadder,
\nAs nice as Christmas pud.<\/p>\n

\n

Blackadder Back & Forth closing song<\/strong>
\nLet joy fill every Briton’s heart,
\nFor now the country’s going to make it.
\nAt last a King who looks the part,
\nAt last a Queen who looks good naked.<\/p>\n

Blackadder,
\nBlackadder,
\nA monarch with panache,
\nBlackadder,
\nBlackadder
\nHe’s got a nice moustache<\/p>\n

Everything he wants he’ll get,
\nThe world is now Blackadder’s oyster,
\nMost Prime Ministers are wet,
\nBut Baldrick he is even moister.<\/p>\n

Blackadder,
\nBlackadder,
\nA dog who’s got his bone,
\nBlackadder,
\nBlackadder,
\nA bastard on the throne<\/p>\n

Blackadder,
\nBlackadder,
\nHis beard is neatly curled,
\nBlackadder,
\nBlackadder,
\nHe’s going to rule the world.<\/p>\n
