Run Away! lyrics

[FRENCHMAN, spoken]
Fetchez la vache!

[ARTHUR, spoken]
Run away!

[ROBIN, spoken]
Run away!

[LANCELOT, spoken]
Run away?

[BEDEVERE, spoken]
Run away!

[KNIGHTS, spoken]
Run away!

(sung)
Run away!
Run away!

[ARTHUR]
Run away from the stench and the trenches

[KNIGHTS]
Run away!
Run away!
[BEDEVERE]
From these horrible, nasty old Frenchies

[ROBIN]
These frogs and their terrible prattle
Are fighting a battle with cattle

[LANCELOT]
We're all full of fear
So let's get out of here

[KNIGHTS]
Run away, run away, run away!

[FRENCHMEN]
You English all are bugger folk
Your mothers all are rugger folk
Your army is a bloody joke
You couldn't beat an artichoke
If battle you choose to renew
We'll taunt you 'til you all turn blue
We turn our asses as you part
In your direction we all fart

[FRENCHMAN]
Fetchez la can-can dancers!
[KNIGHTS]
Run away! Run away!
Run away!
Run-run-run-run-run-run run away!
Run away! Run away!
Run away! Run away!

Run away!
Run away! Run away!

[ARTHUR]
It seems like a helpful solution

[KNIGHTS]
Run away! Run away!

[ARTHUR]
To avoid this French revolution!
We're stuck in a nasty position
Why don't you take a short intermission?
Have a drink and a pee, we'll be back for Act Three -

[PATSY, spoken]
Two, sir!

[ARTHUR]
Two!
[KNIGHTS]
Run away! Run away! Run away! Run away! Run away!
Run run run run run away!
