Devon Or Derby
Devon or Derby
There is something firm about nobility
You will hardly ever find any mobility
Unless they have a change of heart
It is still unto death when we do part.
All of their honor is highly displayed
Do anything against it would be afraid
They all appear to be mighty fine fed
Look at those people with a big head.
Is a crown required to have much glory
Or is it just a part of the same old story
Forget about having my fortune and fame
And also always hallowed be my name.
Who else has a name rhyming with heaven?
Unless you live in some shire called Devon
But at all wouldn't really disturb them or me
Everyone there are all actually from Derby.
Put on slick shoes and tighten long laces
And lets all of us head off for the races
If you can't find any roses heard someone say
You can play ring around great island anyway.
Great Britain, that is and humorous
of course for subject.
