Court of King Caractacus

created by Sylvar

(thing) by Sylvar (1.1 wk) (print)   ?   (I like it!) Mon Feb 12 2001 at 14:18:21

An additive song in the tradition of The House that Jack Built, popularized by Aussie singer Rolf Harris. As the verses go on, the lines get longer and longer until it's all you can do to sing one line without taking a breath:

The court of King Caractacus is just passing by,
The court of King Caractacus is just passing by,
The court of King Caractacus is just passing by,
The court of King Caractacus is just passing by.

The harem of the court of King Caractacus is just passing by,
