A dirty night without
a dirty Knight within
I entertain no doubt
The dirty knight will win
the naïve maiden’s heart.
She’s ready for romance.
He’ll play the lovers part
most grateful for the chance
to satisfy his lust
and at no extra cost.
Betray the maidens trust.
Her innocence once lost
can never be replaced.
She has lost, he has won.
She is no longer chaste.
The Knight will travel on
another conquest made.
Without a backward glance
spares no thought for the maid
who thought she’s found romance.
So much for chivalry
but still young maids again
fall for this old story
that’s told by travelling men.
