The Knight That Drove the Old Pixie Down

Virgin Brain is my name, Served on the Disneyworld choo-choo 'Til my supervisor came, and tore up my time card again... In the summer of '95... I joined the Templar Knights Kind'a dig that kind of jive.... By August the tenth, My assignment to me had fell, And it was one that would lead me straight to hell... The Knight I Drove the Old Pixie Down, and tom bell was ringin' The Knight I drove the Old Pixie Down, and the children were singing, The Knight Who Drove the Old Pixie Down! They went; da, da, da, how friggin' dumb da,da, da, your brain is numb da, duh?, da, duh?, da, da, da! da, da, da, da, da, da, da.... Back in my tenement in Brooklyn, When one day a young cop did call me, Virgin , come quick, you're wanted for robbery!! Now I don't mind servin' time But the food is no good, Just be sure, the crime is mine... Ya take the sentence given, and ya gotta' serve your time.. But they never should have taken... My denim vest! Like my mother before me, I will work the ol' rockpile... Like the guards above me, I will seldom smile.. I was just dumb, stupid and niave But the cops got me, so they could save.... The little pixie I was stalking Prepared to take her down, And they got me just before I was about to have found... The nasty little pixie, So evil and so sly, No wonder someone had paid me, To see that pixie die... The Knight Who Drove Old Pixie Down, The Knight Who Drove Old Pixie Down And the stoolies were singin' They went....Ya, ya, ya, he's guilty Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya... I swear by the ball and chain On my feet You can't release a con too soon.... When he's up for parole, He'd have a better chance, on the moon..... Repeat chorus and fade...
