In Sherwood Forest
There dwelt a knight
Who was known
As the righteous Sir Greenbaum
And many dragons
Had felt the might
Of the smite
Of the righteous Sir Greenbaum
I chanced upon him one morn
When he'd recently rescued a maiden fair
Why, why art thou so forlorn
Sir Greenbaum, is thy heart heavy laden?
Said he, "Forsooth
'Tis a sorry plight
That engendered my attitude bluish"
Said he, "I don't wanna be a knight
That's no job for a boy who is Jewish"
All day with the mighty sword
And the mighty steed and the mighty lance
All day with that heavy shield
And a pair of aluminum pants
All day with the slaying and slewing
And smiting and smoting like Robin Hood
Oh, wouldst I could kick the habit
And give up smoting for good
And so he said to the other knights,
"You may have my possessions and my goods
For I am moving to Shaker Heights
Where I've got some connections in dry goods
Farewell to the dragon's paw
And the other swashbuckling games and sports
I'll work for my father in law
When I marry Miss Guinevere Schwartz"
Allan Sherman (November 30, 1924 – November 20, 1973) was an American comedy writer and television producer who became famous as a song parodist in the early 1960s. Born in New York to a Jewish family, Sherman began his career as a comedy writer for theater and television. His debut album, *My Son, the Folk Singer* (1962), became the fastest-selling record album up to that time, thanks to the success of songs like "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh", a parody of Ponchielli's famous *Dance of the Hours*. Sherman continued to release successful albums throughout the 1960s and 1970s, characterized by intelligent humor and catchy melodies. Among his most famous songs are also "The Ballad of Irving Berlin" and "A Bushel and a Peck". His music helped define American musical humor in the 1960s, influencing generations of artists.
