<p dir="auto">A bold little dungeoneer was standing one day</p>
<p dir="auto">On the side of a green painted vale</p>
<p dir="auto">And hanging above 'im here, the face of a fay</p>
<p dir="auto">With a penchant for making us quail</p>
<p dir="auto">In the antechamber, sat watching the screen</p>
<p dir="auto">The rest of the dungeoneer's team</p>
<p dir="auto">Old Mogdred was charmless and quite far from harmless</p>
<p dir="auto">With dangerously high self-esteem</p>
<p dir="auto">SHRUD, SHRUD, glorious SHRUD</p>
<p dir="auto">Nothing quite like it for showing up duds</p>
<p dir="auto">So burst out your bubble</p>
<p dir="auto">Put down your shovel</p>
<p dir="auto">And then let us chuckle at glorious SHRUD</p>
<p dir="auto">The white-faced malevolence said he was the boss</p>
<p dir="auto">And he shut up Lord Treguard so proud</p>
<p dir="auto">The team will not have a chance if Mogdred gets cross</p>
<p dir="auto">He's hit them with magic called SHROUD</p>
<p dir="auto">Like thunder the letters had echoed, all six</p>
<p dir="auto">Of the word that the team must dispel</p>
<p dir="auto">If they cannot manage to undo the damage</p>
<p dir="auto">Then they will look stupid as hell</p>
<p dir="auto">SHRUD, SHRUD, glorious SHRUD</p>
<p dir="auto">Someone took three brains and swapped them with spuds</p>
<p dir="auto">While they fail the level</p>
<p dir="auto">Watch them and revel</p>
<p dir="auto">And laugh like a devil</p>
<p dir="auto">At glorious SHRUD</p>
<p dir="auto">The friends sitting on the stalls, they heard Treguard moan</p>
<p dir="auto">The significance they didn't know</p>
<p dir="auto">So Treguard upon the fools bestowed a long groan</p>
<p dir="auto">And it sounded much like "Letter O"</p>
<p dir="auto">They finally realised the letter left out</p>
<p dir="auto">And blundered on thanks to that aid</p>
<p dir="auto">But when they met Cedric</p>
<p dir="auto">Again they were dead thick:</p>
<p dir="auto">And tried to cast SHOVEL as SPADE</p>
<p dir="auto">SHRUD, SHRUD, glorious SHRUD</p>
<p dir="auto">Gets my jaw hitting the floor with a thud</p>
<p dir="auto">So turn off the light, yeah</p>
<p dir="auto">Come and sit right there</p>
<p dir="auto">And we will watch Knightmare</p>
<p dir="auto">And glorious SHRUD</p>
