With a "hey, nanny, nanny" and a "hi-ho-ho"
He'd jump on his horse and away he'd go
"Up, big fella, up, boy, up, up and away"
With shining armor and his sword by his side
He'd rip off and roar through the countryside
"Arriba, arriba, whoo-hah, hey"

In days of old when knights were bold
Lived Sir Thanks-A-Lot of the ol' round table
He was brave and he was bold
And he was always willing and able
To run to the rescue of a maiden in distress
Of all the knights there, he were the best
The pride of old Camelot was Sir Thanks-A-Lot

One shiny morning, our shiny knight was bopping through the castle
When a pageboy come runnin' down the hall, handed him a page
On which was inscribed a note, a message, if you will
Sayin', "Help, thanks a lot"
Quick like a bunny, his mind was working
Wheels were turning like a BMI machine
"Clickity-clack, flip-flap, ching"
And immediately, he suspected what had happened
Yes, a fair damsel was being held prisoner in the tower of the haunted castle
By the evil, fire-breathing dragon
What else? Same old routine
So he grabbed his sword, jumped on his horse and rode on over
Just in time to see this sweet young thing
Hanging out of the tower window by her toes, hollerin'

"Save me, save me, save me
Ow, ow, save me, baby, save me, baby
Save me, save me, save me, save me
Ow, ow, ow
Whoo, save me, man"

"Forsooth", cried he
"Forsooth, fair maiden
Never fear, Thanks-A-Lot is here
I have cometh to saveth thee
From the foul clutches of yonder evil dragon, oh"

And with that, he leaped on his mighty stallion
Leveled his lance and charged
Crossed the moat over the drawbridge through the castle door
Killed the dragon and rescued the chick and was smothered with kisses

"Thanks a lot, Thanks-A-Lot"
"You're welcome"

With a "hey, nanny, nanny" and a "hi-ho-ho"
He'd jump on his horse and away he'd go
"Up, boy, up, big fella, up, up and away"
With shining armor and his sword by his side
He'd rip off and roar through the countryside
"Arriba, arriba, whoo-hah, hey"

(Stronger than dirt)

With a "hey, nanny, nanny" and a "hi-ho-ho"
He'd jump on his horse and away he'd go
"Up, boy, up, big fella, up, up and away"
With shining armor and his sword by his side
