<![CDATA[Parody of Gotta get away by Jackie Trent & Tony Hatch]]>After hearing that Steve Coogan might be bringing back The Persuaders! I was suitably convinced to revise this jaunty little number from the original. It mostly focuses on beating a certain 8 legged arachnid but also ends with the futility of going for one particular quest object...enjoy!

This ol' forest's a getting sticky

Feel the spider is gaining on me

every way

Spells can give me faster motion

We could drink a strange looking potion

Cannot stay

Like a gazelle we're deftly gaining

Tree stump objects close by

And then we play our Joker card

Say goodbye

Make our getaway

Once we're heading down the track

Make our getaway

There's never any turning back

Make a getaway

Where the sky is purple above

When Ariadne descends from above

Gotta get away

Leave behind the webstrewn lair

We can find Level 3 together

If we can pay

Pay the Boatman some denomination

Heading for our destination

Far away

We sure showed that chamber of extraction

Merlin even gave us Mercury's shoe

And bring your advisors

Waiting there for me and you

Gotta get away

Once we're heading down the track

Gotta get away

There's never any turning back

Gotta get away

Where the sky is purple above

When all you have is some silly glove

Gotta get away

So we've beat blades, but not a tertiary door

Don't we get a chance for more?

We almost got the cup to see

Christmas is close by

Now we're saying bye

This ol' forest's a getting sticky

Feel the spider is gaining on me

every way

Spells can give me faster motion

We could drink a strange looking potion

Cannot stay

Like a gazelle we're deftly gaining

Tree stump objects close by

And then we play our Joker card

Say goodbye

Make our getaway

Once we're heading down the track

Make our getaway

The chalice never gets brought back

Come what may

Where the quest objects to choose are above

When Pickle tries to advise from above

Choose differently!

Hopefully now inspiration has finally broke through it can continue a little sooner next time.

December 2016! I like the way you've built it around "no turning back".

I can't recall hearing the original song before. It reminds me of the 'urban myth' that:

Myth: The Knightmare theme tune was written by Tony Hatch.
