Horrible Histories
Funky Monks
[Monks (Howick/Baynton/Willbond)]
Welcome to our monastery
Please have a chair
[Bishop (Deary)]
Good to see you monks
So deep in prayer
Once the praying's finished
Your chores must be done
The main rule of a good monk's life is
No fun
[Monks]
We have to pray eight times a day
Seven days a week
And copy all these manuscripts
In writing so antique
[Monk 1 (Willbond)]
I'll finish off this letter 'a'
Once I've ploughed our field
Milked the cows, mucked the sows
Vegetables peeled
[Monk 2 (Baynton)]
I'll be doing that and praying too
[Bishop]
Very well gents, I'll bid you adieu
[Monks]
Adveniat regnum tuum
[Monk 3 (Howick)]
Okay brothers, I think he's gone!
Now the Bishop's not around
Throw off these religious gowns
Hunky!
[Monk 2]
Chunky!
[Monk 1]
Funky monks
[Monks]
Get down!
[Monk 3]
It's not all hymns and prayin'
[Monk 2]
It's not all work and no playing
[Monk 1]
So let's start misbehavin'
[Monks]
And get with the funk!
[Monk 3]
We love to have a party
[Monk 2]
Eat food that is hearty
[Monk 1]
Let's get the boozing started
[Monks]
Drunk like a monk
[Monk 3]
Play that monky music, funk boy
[Bishop]
Just wanted to check
That during my absence
You're honouring your
Mealtime vow of silence
[Monks]
Althought we didn't oughter
We liked to hunt and slaughter
[Monk 3]
Don't need no bread and water
[Monks]
Just fun, fun, fun
Monastery is jumpin'
Party beat is thumpin'
[Monk 2]
Just lacks a certain somethin'
[Monk 1]
A funky nun
[Monk 3]
Get in the party habit, girlfriend
[Bishop]
It's true that life is tough here
But you obey the rules that is clear
That's why we're a place of great repute
What's this? I see we have a new recruit
Welcome to our monastery, what's your name?
[Monk 3]
She--
[Monk 1]
He can't talk
And his name is... Wayne!
[Bishop & Monks]
Amen
[Nun (Lowe)]
Ah, men!
