Lyrics - Rhubarb Tart by Monty Python

I want another slice of rhubarb tart
I want another lovely slice
I'm not disparaging the blueberry pie
But rhubarb tart is oh-so-very nice
A rhubarb what?
A rhubarb tart
A what-barb tart?
A rhu-barb tart
I want another slice of rhubarb tart
The principles of modern philosophy
Were postulated by
Descartes
Discarding everything he wasn't certain of
He said, "
I think therefore
I am rhubarb tart"
A rhubarb what?
A rhubarb tart
Rene who?
Rene
Descartes
Poor mutt, he thought he was a rhubarb tart
Rhubarb tart has fascinated all the poets
Especially the
Immortal
Bard
He made
Richard the
Third call out at
Bosworth
Field"
My kingdom for a slice of rhubarb tart"
Immortal what?
Immortal tart
Rhubarb what?
A rhubarb
Bard
As rhymes go that is really pretty bad
Since
Wassily
Kandinsky and
Paul
Klee
Laid down the axioms of abstract art
Even
Jackson
Pollock and
Piet
Mondrain
Prefer to paint a slice of rhubarb tart
Wassi who?
A
Wassi-ly
Kandin who?
A
Kandin-sky
And how he get in there for a start?
Read all the existentialist philosophers
Like
Schopenhauer and
Jea-
Paul
Sarte
Even
Martin
Heidegger agreed on one thing
Eternal happiness is rhubarb tart
A rhubarb what?
A rhubarb tart
Jean-
Paul who?
Jean
Paul
Sarte
That sounds just like a rhyme from
Lionel
Barte
I want another slice of rhubarb tart
I want another lovely slice
I'm not disparaging the blueberry pie
But rhubarb tart is oh-so-very nice
