<p dir="auto">As someday it may happen that a victim must be found,</p>
<p dir="auto">I've got a little list - I've got a little list</p>
<p dir="auto">Of society offenders who might well be underground</p>
<p dir="auto">And who never would be missed - who never would be missed!</p>
<p dir="auto">There's the pestilential dungeoneers who cannot spell out "SHROUD",</p>
<p dir="auto">The skull-cap-wearing Daniel's team who shouted far too loud,</p>
<p dir="auto">All children who get riddles right and floor you with 'em flat,</p>
<p dir="auto">All ugly thieves who, offered rings, then tie you up like <em>that</em>,</p>
<p dir="auto">And all advisors who on shouting, "Side-step left!" insist,</p>
<p dir="auto">They'd none of 'em be missed - they'd none of 'em be missed!</p>
<p dir="auto">*He's got 'em on the list - he's got 'em on the list;</p>
<p dir="auto">And they'll none of 'em be missed - they'll none of 'em be missed.*</p>
<p dir="auto">There's the banjo-serenader called Ridolfo by his mates,</p>
<p dir="auto">And th' inferior humourist - yes, Folly's on my list,</p>
<p dir="auto">And the dreadful Adam Battersby whom everybody hates,</p>
<p dir="auto">He never would be missed - he never would be missed!</p>
<p dir="auto">Then the idiot who praises with enthusiastic tone</p>
<p dir="auto">All dungeon quests but this and all advisors but his own,</p>
<p dir="auto">And the Series Seven tavern-wench who dresses like a tart,</p>
<p dir="auto">And who doesn't think too often, though perhaps she ought to start,</p>
<p dir="auto">And that singular anomaly the <em>Knightmare</em> novelist -</p>
<p dir="auto">I don't think he'd be missed - I'm <em>sure</em> he'd not be missed!</p>
<p dir="auto">*He's got him on the list - he's got him on the list;</p>
<p dir="auto">And he don't think he'll be missed - he's <em>sure</em> he'll not be missed.*</p>
<p dir="auto">And those monks - there's Cedric, Brother Strange and also Brother Mace</p>
<p dir="auto">Who's perenially pissed - I've got them on the list.</p>
<p dir="auto">That vain, depressed old gargoyle with its ever-changing face,</p>
<p dir="auto">It never would be missed - it never would be missed!</p>
<p dir="auto">And the ITV controllers who took <em>Knightmare</em> off our screens -</p>
<p dir="auto">Yes, let Chapman die for ruining so many people's teens -</p>
<p dir="auto">The Ice-Woman and Codsby and that faceless bore 'the Freeze',</p>
<p dir="auto">And 'armourtrons' and 'bugs' and anybody else you please</p>
<p dir="auto">Out of <em>Virtually Impossible</em> may go upon the list,</p>
<p dir="auto">For they'd none of 'em be missed - they'd none of 'em be missed!</p>
<p dir="auto">*You may put 'em on the list - you may put 'em on the list;</p>
<p dir="auto">And they'll none of 'em be missed - they'll none of 'em be missed.*</p>
