The Monks of Ium Once upon a time I bumped my cranium And inhaled the pollen of a blooming geranium An allergy resulted in severe delirium Boo WAAA HEEE YAAA MOO la insanium Upon my release from the sanatarium I became involved with a twisted consortium A group of monks who chanted a hearty hum They’re voices squeaked, they abused the helium They revealed a large gun filled armarium And shiny knives of polished chromium And below a box filled up with opium Then they forced me to head to a busy stadium The masses gathered like some strange bacterium High on the drugs I opened fire on them But the monks stayed in their locutorium I went to prison for a whole millenium
