Monty Python

Monty Python (sometimes known as The Pythons) was a British surreal comedy group that created Monty Python's Flying Circus, a British television comedy sketch show that first aired on the BBC on 5 October 1969. Forty-five episodes were made over four series. The Python phenomenon developed from the television series into something larger in scope and impact, spawning touring stage shows, films, numerous albums, several books and a stage musical as well as launching the members to individual stardom. The group's influence on comedy has been compared to The Beatles' influence on music. more »

It is the dawn of time
This Earth we know so well is a
Smoldering, inhospitable wilderness no
Plants grow, no creature can survive
The hard, implacable rocks that form our
Mountain ridges are
Being crushed and folded by forces
Which will take millions of years to
Shape them these are the forces
This is the power that drives
The hand that drinks Treadmill
The mighty lager with the world's
First great taste of fish!

(Bishop, don't say "of fish") pardon?
(Don't say "of fish" at the end
It doesn't mean anything)
Ah, I see, fine no "of fish, " right?
(Just go from "these are the forces-") right

(I'll give you a green) what?
(I'll give you a green light)
Oh, um, right, thank you
These are the forces this is the power
That drives the band that drinks-
Ah! Of course sorry sorry! Can't think
Of what came over me
(Well, we'll start again) what?
(We'll start again, bishop same place)
Oh right!

(Alright, just a moment)
I'm terribly sorry i remembered the hand
But forgot the
(Yes, yes, that's alright john
Can we edit out the "of fish?") yeah
(Good that's fine, thank you, Bishop)
Alright, is it? Good terribly sorry
About the silly slip
I don't know what came over me

Who is he? (Bishop of Leicester, I think)
Well, why couldn't we get Bath-and Wells?
(He's doing frozen peas for Nigel)
Lucky bastard, he's so good
(Have you seen the Bishop of
Worcester? Marvelous he did an
Entire Snippety Dippety gift catalogue
Promo in one ski)
Really? Shh! Here she comes
Uh, how was it? All right? Marvelous!
(Excellent) doctrinally, a bit of a mess
Sorry? Well, all that stuff about the
Dawn of time, and the, the rocks developing
Over millions of years you know, not
Quite A-1 theory with our, lot, you know?
It's only a commercial
Yes, yes, 'course, 'course not
Criticizing it's just
Um, well, I mean, not uh
Not quite the Creation as we see it
Well, goodbye good, good, fine and um
And the cheque will be-
With your agent on Tuesday, Bishop
Marvelous, marvelous, thank you so much oh
And sorry about
The "of fish"- you'll be able to remove that
Will you? Yes, we can remove that
Oh, good wonderful what you can do nowadays
Eh? Yes indeed well, toodlebit!
