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 »

Full speed ahead, Mr. Cohen!

CHORUS: 
Up, up, up your premium. Up, up, up your premium.
PIRATE: 
Scribble away!
CHORUS: 
Up, up, up your premium.
PIRATE: 
And balance the books.
CHORUS: 
Up, up, up your premium.
PIRATE: 
Scribble away!
CHORUS: 
Up, up, up your premium.
PIRATE: 
But manage the books.
CHORUS: 
Up, up, up.

PIRATES: 
It's fun to charter an accountant
And sail the wide accountancy,
To find, explore the funds offshore
And skirt the shoals of bankruptcy!

It can be manly in insurance.
We'll up your premium semi-annually.
It's all tax deductible.
We're fairly incorruptible,
We're sailing on the wide accountancy!

LEAD PIRATE: 
Oh, this is fun, Mr. Cohen!
PIRATE: 
Sail away!...
CHORUS: 
Up, up, up...
LEAD PIRATE: 
Fetch me another exotic salute.  To port!  Bring her port to shell out!  And the medium guys shell out to port!  Balance the books!  Bring me another small shellfish, Mr. Cohen...
