prince hal's dirge

loudon wainwright iii

give me a capon

and some roguish companion

a wench

and a bottle of sack

take me to the ale house

take me to the whore house

if i vomit

keep me off of my back

my father

he thinks

i am a good-for-nothing

and that i won't amount to much

but he's not aware of my secret weapon

i can count on my self in the clutch

show me a breach

i'll once more unto it

i'll be ready for action any day

i'll straighten up

and i'll fly most righteous

in a fracas

i'll be right in the fray

i can drink you under 25 tables

fight and be a ladies man

but all this will change

when i am good and ready

to become the king of this land

give me a capon

and some roguish companion

a wench

and a bottle of sack

take me to the ale house

take me to the whore house

if i vomit

keep me off of my back
