The Lyrics
The halls of Camelot ring with the chimes of righteous indignation....
Forsooth, my valiant band of knights,
'Tis a wondrous beast that is called "website"
So gather now, it is time to fight
And to slay all the dragons of "Facebook"
Facebook! With a dev'lish grin
It collects lost souls and then brands them "friends"
Facebook! 'Tis a web of sin
With no face, and not even a real book!
The Lady Guinevere hath been "poked"
By Sir Lancelot: silken words were spoke
And soon, her chastity belt was broke
All because of the evil of "Facebook"
Facebook! Must thou taunt me so?
I've requested friends, but so far: zero
Myspace and the child, Bebo
Form an unholy trio with Facebook
Mer-lin hath secrets he dare not share
He is fond of corsets and maidens' wear
An etching of him dressed up as Cher
Was uploaded and posted on "Facebook"
Facebook, must thou drive me mad?
Daily status updates from Galahad...
Lake Lady, reach up thine hand
With Excalibur, I shall smite Facebook!
'Tis a wondrous beast that is called "website"
So gather now, it is time to fight
And to slay all the dragons of "Facebook"
Facebook! With a dev'lish grin
It collects lost souls and then brands them "friends"
Facebook! 'Tis a web of sin
With no face, and not even a real book!
The Lady Guinevere hath been "poked"
By Sir Lancelot: silken words were spoke
And soon, her chastity belt was broke
All because of the evil of "Facebook"
Facebook! Must thou taunt me so?
I've requested friends, but so far: zero
Myspace and the child, Bebo
Form an unholy trio with Facebook
Mer-lin hath secrets he dare not share
He is fond of corsets and maidens' wear
An etching of him dressed up as Cher
Was uploaded and posted on "Facebook"
Facebook, must thou drive me mad?
Daily status updates from Galahad...
Lake Lady, reach up thine hand
With Excalibur, I shall smite Facebook!

Extremely original idea here Lord Kristof! I doth find this legendary!
I'll lift thy Kilt My Lord, and take a peek at your X-Caliber . . . anytime Lord KristOff, Our Mighty Duke oKilt
Incredible! I never would have thought of such an original concept... very unique. 555
How is Facebook like Arthur's mortal enemy? Beacuae it's More-Dread! ;D
Lord Kristof, I don't have a Facebook, but I do have a MySpace. Yeah, both Facebook and MySpace are very addicting. Sometimes I do get some anonymous friend requests, some good and some bad. I just deny those spam friend requests as well. Tha' have done a fine job and I shall grant thee 5's!
(announcer on mic) Thanks for coming out to the Camelot Club. Now appearing knightly at the round table, Sir Kristoff... Enjoy the venison, only 5.55.
LOL!!! These two topics are the strangest of bedfellows, which made this even more delightful. Perfection!
King Arthur in the Twenty First century, beware of the Greeks (not USC) bearing gifts.
Forsooth, salutations and gratitude to Baron Matthias, The fair Madame, Sir DJ of Blaze, OMR the Wise , Princess Christie, Warren the Bakers Son, Serene Lady Elf, and Viscount Eagle...
I have NO clue where this particular idea came from, but glad you all enjoyed it!

...haven't seen this before, but the security code is "GWB" - unfortunately, not an appropriate parody for him to show up.. where was I? Oh, yes - fantastic as ever, but such a brilliantly original idea, I'm hideously jealous :-)
Unique idea...the old and the new...works well
Very creative and I share the king's disdain for Facebook. Perhaps he could smite the twits on Twitter while he's at it? 555
Great parody. A lot of great lines, but "With no face, and not even a real book" was my fave.
This one was extremely crazy, and random. . .I love that about you--you can take just about any topic to just about any random song and turn it into a masterpiece, I'm trying . . .getting there slowly (I hope)
he he he he he
Thanks a bunch Phil, blackjack, JJ, BADave and Ann!
Eftsoons Sir Kristof delights us with his mischevious wordplay. Slay the dreaded social network, sir, and keep scribbling. (BTW I am a proud card-carrying member of the Society to Revive The Word Eftsoons.)
