Errol Flynn
Oh, I have a deep passion/
For Errol Flynn/
I watch every movie/
He's starring in/
I tape them so I can watch/
Multiple times/
I've seen them so often/
I know all the lines.
When Essex courted/
Good Queen Bess/
He loved her well/
But it ended a mess/
He lost both his life/
Lost his queen no less
And spent his last days/
In extreme duress
In the foreign service/
He climbed over rocks/
Led his men into safety/
While taking hard knocks.
As Robin of Hood/
He did as he should/
Swashbuckling in tights/
Try as he might/
He stood for all that's right
A swordsman, a soldier, a lover, a knave/
In all of his roles/ he earned a rave
And yet never learned how to behave/
Or ultimately his life to save/
He died so young/ it was outrage
As a cocksman his conquests were legion/
The phrase "In Like Flynn" lives on for a reason
Oh, Errol, Errol, Errol Flynn/
You're the dream I'm living in
Errol/ Errol/ Errol Flynn
