<p dir="auto">Knightmare Series Eight</p>
<p dir="auto">Might leave you quite impressed</p>
<p dir="auto">The CGI's great</p>
<p dir="auto">And it's in every quest</p>
<p dir="auto">But watching the show can become a bad dream</p>
<p dir="auto">Whenever Bartram encounters a team</p>
<p dir="auto">If Scaramonger and Ah Wok come back</p>
<p dir="auto">Hope they'll see Bartram, take clubs and attack</p>
<p dir="auto">Honesty Bartram's grating</p>

<p dir="auto">Honesty Bartram's grating</p>
<p dir="auto">I don't like your beard</p>
<p dir="auto">Nor do I like your hat</p>
<p dir="auto">And your name suggests</p>
<p dir="auto">To me that you're a prat</p>
<p dir="auto">Your gestures, your patter, they irritate me</p>
<p dir="auto">Watching you is, like your potion, risky</p>
<p dir="auto">Don't try to charm me, you're wasting your time</p>
<p dir="auto">I'd tell me dad that your acting's a crime</p>

<p dir="auto">About <a href="http://interactive.knightmare.org.uk/lexicon/entry/Bimboid" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">this incident</a>.</p>
<p dir="auto">Back when I was a young boy</p>
<p dir="auto">I heeded Tommy Boyd</p>
<p dir="auto">I drew living room curtains</p>
<p dir="auto">And Knightmare I enjoyed</p>
<p dir="auto">But a certain technomancer</p>
<p dir="auto">He got me quite annoyed</p>
<p dir="auto">That dastardly Lord Fear</p>
<p dir="auto">Sure makes a mean Bimboid!</p>
<p dir="auto">It stands like a statue</p>
<p dir="auto">It's a skeletal machine</p>
<p dir="auto">Showing its obedience</p>
<p dir="auto">In a spyglass scene</p>
<p dir="auto">Ordered to kill Hordriss</p>
<p dir="auto">Oh no, he'll be destroyed</p>
<p dir="auto">Won't somebody warn him</p>
<p dir="auto">Here comes a mean Bimboid!</p>
<p dir="auto">It's a Bimboid, wizard</p>
<p dir="auto">It's gonna kill you</p>
<p dir="auto">A Bimboid, wizard</p>
<p dir="auto">Unless you see it true</p>
<p dir="auto">Who do you think will warn him?</p>
<p dir="auto">(I don't know!)</p>
<p dir="auto">Nathan it should be</p>
<p dir="auto">Ain't got no distractions</p>
<p dir="auto">Has magic energy</p>
<p dir="auto">It looks a lot like Sidriss:</p>
<p dir="auto">Iona Kennedy</p>
<p dir="auto">Lord Fear's made it evil</p>
<p dir="auto">With its mind he's toyed</p>
<p dir="auto">A dead, dumb assassin's</p>
<p dir="auto">Also a mean Bimboid</p>
<p dir="auto">I thought I saw</p>
<p dir="auto">A black gigantic cat</p>
<p dir="auto">But it's just Hordriss</p>
<p dir="auto">The Bimboid's not here yet</p>
<p dir="auto">Then they find it at the trapdoor</p>
<p dir="auto">Waiting with a knife</p>
<p dir="auto">Nathan's teammates tip him off</p>
<p dir="auto">And he saves Hordriss' life</p>
<p dir="auto">He reveals it and destroys it</p>
<p dir="auto">I was overjoyed</p>
<p dir="auto">That pompous old wizard</p>
<p dir="auto">Sure saw off that Bimboid!</p>

<p dir="auto">About Leo's quest in Series 3.</p>
<p dir="auto">(So the story begins)</p>
<p dir="auto">Bromley dweller</p>
<p dir="auto">Successful fella</p>
<p dir="auto">Said to his friends</p>
<p dir="auto">"Hey, Matthew and James and Simon,</p>
<p dir="auto">Let's go on Knightmare</p>
<p dir="auto">In Series Three."</p>
<p dir="auto">And he meets Melly and Merlin</p>
<p dir="auto">While the quest's unfurling</p>
<p dir="auto">Tells Motley a joke and it's an oyster, no pearl in</p>
<p dir="auto">Fluffed it in the level's anxiety</p>
<p dir="auto">Yes, it's Level Two</p>
<p dir="auto">And Leo's through (so simple)</p>
<p dir="auto">He went on a quest</p>
<p dir="auto">A very big quest</p>
<p dir="auto">In the Dungeon</p>
<p dir="auto">Watching Challenge for repeats</p>
<p dir="auto">Hordriss he defeats</p>
<p dir="auto">In the Dungeon</p>
<p dir="auto">He has all manner of spells</p>
<p dir="auto">And climbs in one or two wells</p>
<p dir="auto">In the Dungeon</p>
<p dir="auto">You're not supposed to take arms</p>
<p dir="auto">Even if you've qualms</p>
<p dir="auto">In the Dungeon</p>
<p dir="auto">He's got Mogdred's GLORY and life's a different story</p>
<p dir="auto">Listening to Treguard's oratory</p>
<p dir="auto">Dispelled a SWORD then ENERGY</p>
<p dir="auto">He's shaking Stardust, trying his hardest</p>
<p dir="auto">Needs a helping hand, that window's not at all bland</p>
<p dir="auto">Oh, if he'd just said, "Avebury"</p>
<p dir="auto">Wasn't faint at heart</p>
<p dir="auto">Rode that cart (down the mine tracks)</p>
<p dir="auto">He went on a quest</p>
<p dir="auto">A very big quest</p>
<p dir="auto">In the Dungeon</p>
<p dir="auto">It was in search of the Cup</p>
<p dir="auto">He did well then messed it up</p>
<p dir="auto">In the Dungeon</p>
<p dir="auto">He doesn't drink, smoke, laugh</p>
<p dir="auto">Takes the wrong path</p>
<p dir="auto">In the Dungeon</p>
<p dir="auto">You should come to no harm</p>
<p dir="auto">With good knowledge and charm</p>
<p dir="auto">In the Dungeon</p>
<p dir="auto">In the Dungeon</p>
<p dir="auto">In the Dungeon</p>
<p dir="auto">In the Dun-ge-o-on</p>
<p dir="auto">The largest ring on English ground? I don't know where</p>

<p dir="auto">About a Series 6 room.</p>
<p dir="auto">Each Se-ries Six team starts with a decision</p>

<p dir="auto">They gotta make their choice, out of a whole four missions</p>
<p dir="auto">They can choose the Sword or</p>
<p dir="auto">The Cup, Shield or Crown</p>
<p dir="auto">But hooow can Sophia's team choose it</p>
<p dir="auto">When it's only just been found?</p>

<p dir="auto">If they get a hand from Hordriss</p>
<p dir="auto">Then they're gonna beat Lord Fear</p>

<p dir="auto">This time, we know they're free to stand where they may</p>
<p dir="auto">With four symbols it's all up to them</p>
