They repealed the feudal system
in seventeen eighty nine
If you want a fief
Well bad luck chief
This just is not the time
You might have once been Seigneur
What Brits like us call ‘Lord’
By dint of berf
You’re not a serf
You’ve got manor house and board
The truth is much less noble
More what the folk at home want
(Unless home is Sark, you own the park
and your name’s Michael Beaumont)
