(heaton/rotheray) |
|
This table has four sturdy legs |
|
And a heart of very near wild oak |
|
When others would have screamed out loud my friend |
|
This one never even spoke |
|
I've been sat upon, i've been spat upon |
|
I've been treated like a bed |
|
Been carried like a stretcher, |
|
When someone thinks they're dead |
|
I've been dined upon, i've been wined upon |
|
I've been taken for a fool |
|
Taken for a desk, |
|
When they should have been at school |
|
This table's been pushed against the door |
|
When tempers, well tempers flare at night |
|
Banged upon with knuckles clenched my friend |
|
When someone thinks that they are right |
|
I've been sat upon, i've been spat upon |
|
I've been treated like a bed |
|
Been carried like a stretcher, |
|
When someone thinks they're dead |
|
I've been dined upon, i've been wined upon |
|
I've been taken for a fool |
|
Taken for a desk, |
|
When they should have been at school |
|
Tables only turn when tables learn |
|
Put me on a bonfire, watch me burn |
|
Treat me with some dignity, don't treat me like a slave |
|
Or i'll turn into the coffin in your grave |
