This table has four sturdy legs
And a heart of very near wild oak
When others would have screamed out loud my friend
This one never even spoke
Ive been sat upon, Ive been spat upon
Ive been treated like a bed
Been carried like a stretcher,
When someone thinks theyre dead
Ive been dined upon, Ive been wined upon
Ive been taken for a fool
Taken for a desk,
When they should have been at school
This tables been pushed against the door
When tempers, well tempers flare at night
Banged upon with knuckles clenched my friend
When someone thinks that they are right
Ive been sat upon, Ive been spat upon
Ive been treated like a bed
Been carried like a stretcher,
When someone thinks theyre dead
Ive been dined upon, Ive been wined upon
Ive been taken for a fool
Taken for a desk,
When they should have been at school
Tables only turn when tables learn
Put me on a bonfire, watch me burn
Treat me with some dignity, dont treat me like a slave
Or Ill turn into the coffin in your grave
