>Chorus:
>
>Harmless historical nuts,
>Who wear boiler-plate on their butts,
>Who dress up in clothes from the twelfth century,
>To bash on each other with sticks and debris,
>And make up the world's largest private army,
>Harmless historical nuts.
>
>As I was out shopping, expecting no harm,
>Two big FBI men grabbed me by the arm,
>Dragged me into a cellar, shone lights in my eyes,
>Demanding full answers without any lies,
>About a new threat to good patriotism,
>This "Society for Creative Anarchism".
>I said "They're just . . .
>
>I answered, "'Tis true, to that club I belong,
>Put pardon me gentlefolk, you've spelled the name wrong.
>Now I swear by the Cross and the Host and the Chrism,
>That last word is actually 'anachronism'.
>It just means 'outdated'. Pray why don't you look,
>In Sir Merriam Webster's reliable book?
>It says we're just . . .
>
>When finally persuaded to look up the word,
>They blushed and they winced hard enough to be heard.
>They hastily set me back out on the street,
>But I knew 'twasn't over and once more we'd meet.
>So I passed on the warning to realms far and near,
>To give the impression for all the next year,
>That we're just . . .
>
>And soon enough four infiltrators came in,
>All snooping for politics, sniffing for sin.
>Three went away again, scratching their heads,
>But the fourth quit his job and turned stick-jock instead.
>He's won coronets, he's in love with the sport,
>And we still have a copy of his last report.
>It says we're just . . .
