Monty Python - Rhubarb Tart lyrics

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
