Childhood Heroes Reprise - Jethro Tull

So, come on ye childhood heroes!

Won’t you rise up from the pages

Of your comic-books, your super crooks

And show us all the way

Well!

Make your will and testament

Won’t you join your local government?

We’ll have Superman for president

Let Robin save the day

So!

Where the hell was Biggles

When you needed him last Saturday?

And where were all the sportsmen

Who always pulled you though?

They’re all resting down in Cornwall

Writing up their memoirs

For a paper-back edition

Of the Boy Scout Manual

So you ride yourselves over the fields

And you make all your animal deals

And your wise men don’t know how it feels

To be thick as a brick
