Paikin's Song

And He But Smiled

And he but smiled
In his reply
Did Sopadin
Cracking his knuckles
And flexing his muscles

Well it's long past time
These they learned
A different way
And weren't no more
The coddled fools
You've let them be
Or here we'll ever stay

What say that
You think we could
Yes escape us this
You are but a greater fool indeed
If that you think

Yes I do
But with your voice
The loudest heard
No not ever
Would this so be the case
So of course you'd think it so

All the more reason
Have I now
To win against you
In this a fight
I want me not at all

Charles Petrie
