Parody of Reasons To Be Cheerful - Ian Dury & The Blockheads

[Drassil]

Drawing inspiration from the parody 'Reasons To Be Fearful' in Charlie Brooker's 2014 Wipe. Original lyrics, official video

It is a dungeon path you tread
Don't let your Life Force go to red
x5

Reasons to watch Knightmare with tea

Never need a brolly
Cedric and Folly
The mining trolley, or cart
Hammers on troll heads
And Bhal-Shebah's red
Looking upon Mogdred
The dice room start

Playing with a plunger
Getting rid of hunger
Mister Scaramonger: will they buy it?
Potions on the table, always read the label
Guildmaster from Fable: Hugo Myatt

From Lissard into Marta
The levels getting harder
Melly and Gundrada, in the stocks
Skarkill when he's hobbling
Sylvester when he's nobbling
Christopher the goblin, eaten up by blocks

The choice of two doorways, better if it's more ways
When you got through the four days to reach Friday
Elves being cheeky
The doors that sound so creaky
Casual fan or geeky, come and play

Reasons to watch Knightmare with tea
Reasons to watch Knightmare with tea
Reasons to watch Knightmare with tea
Reasons to watch Knightmare
With your tea

Reasons to watch Knightmare with tea

Leaving out a letter
Outfit of Stiletta's
Tricky riddle setters

Dickon versus Malice
Pieces of the Chalice
Fear dressed up as Harris

Ariadne's dinner
Level 3 and winners
A boy you know from Pinner

Merlin, Motley, Pickle
The serpent's tongue to lick all
Simon's big fall

Spells that need dispelling
Passwords that need telling
And the guarded chambers with a well in

Looking in a spyglass
Dragons on a fly-past
Dungeoneers who die fast

Teams in losing status
Bell at the hiatus
Treguard is the greatest

Victims of Morghanna
Finding a banana
Action, humour, drama

Reasons to watch Knightmare with tea
Reasons to watch Knightmare with tea
Reasons to watch Knightmare with tea
Reasons to watch Knightmare
With your tea

Yes yes, be sure
There are lots more
More reasons to watch Knightmare
Brother... Mace
