It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom with lots of tea,
That a knight there lived whom you may know
By the name of Christopher Lee;
And this knight he lived with no other thought
Than to act in the movies we see.
In a kingdom with lots of tea,
That a knight there lived whom you may know
By the name of Christopher Lee;
And this knight he lived with no other thought
Than to act in the movies we see.
I was a child and you were a child,
In a time that was full of glee,
For we loved with a love that was more than love—
The movies of Christopher Lee—
With a love that the other actors of Hollywood
Wanted to have from we.
In a time that was full of glee,
For we loved with a love that was more than love—
The movies of Christopher Lee—
With a love that the other actors of Hollywood
Wanted to have from we.
And thus it was that amidst so much fuss,
In the kingdom with lots of tea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
Our beloved Christopher Lee;
So that his highborn kinsmen came
And bore him away from we,
To shut him up in a sepulchre
In the kingdom with lots of tea.
In the kingdom with lots of tea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
Our beloved Christopher Lee;
So that his highborn kinsmen came
And bore him away from we,
To shut him up in a sepulchre
In the kingdom with lots of tea.
The actors, not half so happy in Hollywood,
Went envying our love for he—
Yes!—that was the reason (as all men know,
In this time not so full of glee)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing our Christopher Lee.
Went envying our love for he—

That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing our Christopher Lee.
But his awesomenes was greater by far than the awesomeness
Of those who came before than he—
Of many more famous than he—
And neither the angels in Heaven above
Nor the demons down under the sea
Can ever dissever our soul from the soul
Of the amazing Christopher Lee;
Of those who came before than he—
Of many more famous than he—
And neither the angels in Heaven above
Nor the demons down under the sea
Can ever dissever our soul from the soul
Of the amazing Christopher Lee;
For the TV never beams, without bringing me dreams
Of the Dracula of Christopher Lee;
And when stars start to rise, I feel the bright eyes
Of the Saruman of Christopher Lee;
And so, all the night, I lie down by a light
Watching a movie—a movie—in me telly (eating some jelly)—
With his memory that forever will be
In his movies, which we’ll never tire to see.
