    Intro.


Alas, gallant Errant, I am not a maiden,
I'm the wife of Sir Cuthbert, that cunning old C-C-C-Celt,
He's off to the Wars for some ten months or longer,
And he's taken the keys to my chastity belt.

Ch: Chastity belt, nonny nonny, chastity belt
     He's taken the keys to her chastity belt.


Fear not, gentle Lady, for I know a locksmith.
To his house we'll go and on his door we'll knock (knock,knock)
And we shall avail us of his specialis-ed K-nowledge,
And see if he's able to unpick your lock.

Ch: Unpick your lock, nonny nonny, unpick your lock,
    And see if he's able to unpick your lock.


Alas, Sir and Madam, to help I'm unable,
My teck-i-nical k-nowledge is of no avail.
I cannot find the see-ker-ett of your combina-shi-on.
The cunning old bastard has fitted a Yale.

Ch: Fitted a Yale, nonny nonny, fitted a Yale
   The cunning old bastard has fitted a Yale


I'm back from the Warth with thad news of dithathter,
A tewwible mithhap I have to confide.
Ath my Thyip wath paththing the Thtwaitth of Gibwaltar
I carelethly dwopped the key over the thide.

Ch: Over the side, nonny nonny, over the side,
    He carelessly dropped the key over the side.


"Alas and alack, I am locked up forever!"
When up steps a page-boy saying "Leave this to me.
"If you will allow me to enter your chamber,
I'll open you up with my duplicate key!"

Ch: Duplicate key, nonny nonny, duplicate key,
    I'll open you up with my duplicate key!
