Benjamin Bowmaneer Have you heard how the wars began, Benjamin Bowmaneer? Have you heard how the wars began? Castors away! Have you heard how the wars began when England fought to a man? The proud tailor rode prancing away From a shear board he made a horse, Benjamin Bowmaneer Shear board he made a horse, Castors away! From a shear board he made a horse so he could ride across. The proud tailor rode prancing away From his scissors made bridle bits, Benjamin Bowmaneer Scissors made bridle bits, Castors away! From his scissors made bridle bits to keep his horse in his wits. The proud tailor rode prancing away And as he rode o'er the lea, Benjamin Bowmaneer As he rode o'er the lea, Castors away! And as he rode o'er the lea, he spied a fly on his knee. The proud tailor rode prancing away From his needle he made a spear, Benjamin Bowmaneer Needle he made a spear, Castors away! From his needle he made a spear and pierce the fly in his ear. And the proud tailor rode prancing away From his thimble he made a bell, Benjamin Bowmaneer Thimble he made a bell, Castors away! From his thimble he made a bell to toll the flea's funeral knell. The proud tailor rode prancing away And that's how the wars began, Benjamin Bowmaneer? That's how the wars began? Castors away! And that's how the wars began when England fought to a man? The proud tailor rode prancing, the tailor rode prancing, the tailor rode prancing away.
