We're Not Knights

From "The Tale of the Not-So-Nice Dragon"
(Austin and Tasha)

Austin:
Knights are tough, and knights are brave.
Tasha:
Knights have shields that they can heave.
Austin:
Knights aren't scared and knights don't fuss.
Tasha:
So if you want a knight...
Austin and Tasha:
Don't call us!

Tasha:
There are many things that I can do: cast a spell with a tweedily-doo.
Austin:
Fly around in a loopty-loop.
Tasha:
Wave my wand and say "boo-hoo!".

Austin:
There are many things that I have done: grab some treasure just for fun.
Tasha:
Snatch some sneakers for a run.
Austin:
Swipe some juice and a cinnamon bun!

Tasha:
But when it comes to daring adventures, who knows where to begin?
Austin:
When it comes to heroic rescues...
Tasha:
Our résumés are quite thin!

Both: We're not knights. That's right! We're not knights. That's right! We've got nerves and limitations, fears and frights. We're not knights! We're not knights. That's right.

Austin:
There are many things I will not do: try to swipe a giant shoe.
Tasha:
Race a shark in a small canoe.
Austin:
Wash a troll's hair with shampoo.

Tasha:
There are many things I will not try: look an ogres in the eye.
Austin:
Wearing sweaters in July.
Tasha:
Liverwurst on marble rye!

Austin:
And when it's time for a daring challenge, we're not a qualifying team.
Tasha:
When it comes to not-so-nice dragons, we want to...

Both:
Run and scream! We're not knights. That's right! We're not knights. That's right!

We've got nerves and limitations, fears and frights. We're not knights! We're not knights. That's right.
