The Brotherhood of the Menhir
It’s a large rock that you’ll have to bury a bitSo that it stays nice and upright like a spear or a pike
You won’t get good use out of it as a floatie or a marble
This song explains just what its function is
The menhir is good for diddly daddly dom
The menhir serves as diddly daddly dom
But but the best part about the menhir is that diddly daddly skiddly daddly diddly daddly hey!
Menhirs, menhirs, menhirs of all kinds
We’re the brotherhood of the menhir
We sing, we dance, to the rhythm of a chisel
You won’t find a better menhir anywhere
It doesn’t matter what your favorite funeral monument is
A cromlech, a tomb, a cenotaph, or a granite dolmen
They come in all sizes: large, medium, and a few puny ones
Whichever menhir you choose, there’s nothing written
The menhir is good for diddly daddly dom...
Menhirs, menhirs, menhirs of all kinds...
The menhir can be small, for your nightstand
The menhir can be very big, for your front porch
The menhir can be little, you can take it to school
The menhir can be giant, with lights strung around it
Diim-di dadl-di didl-di dum
Didli diim-li dadl-di didi-li daa
Didl-di dadl-di didli-ai dum
Skidldi-dadli dom-pa dum didl-di
Diim-di adl-di dadl-di dum
Didli diim-di dadl-di didl-di daa
Lidli-ai-dom-ladl didl-di dey
Skidldi dadldi dom
The menhir can be small
It enriches your stir-fry
The menhir can be very big
So that an elephant can sit on it
The menhir can be little
It’s very good for scurvy
Menhirs, menhirs, menhirs of all kinds...
