(To the tune of "Oh Dear, What Can The Matter Be?"
Oh dear, we are in mourning
He was dauntless and fearless, was tough and was gritty;
How did it happen? There's just no explaining;
His sword in his hand and his legs far from rubbery,
He fought like a tiger, a valiant soldier;
I'll never forget the scene, what a spine-chiller.
But let's learn the moral of Sir EnJay's slaughter.
We wiped off his weapon and straightened his kirtle,
We took with us items of sentimentality:
At least he went out in a big blaze of glory.
also known as "Johnny's So Long At The Fair")
For one of our members, no new day is dawning.
Did we get caught napping or were we just yawning
When Sir EnJay got blown away?
His humor was droll, he was terribly witty;
Cut down in mid-sentence, it's really a pity
'Cos now he's been silenced to stay.
The number one student throughout basic training;
He led the attack with no word of complaining.
The first one to enter the fray.
Sir EnJay, his courage was high...almost bubbly,
Until the moment he peered in that shrubbery,
Then he became easy prey.
None could have been stronger or quicker or bolder.
It's so sad to think he won't live to grow older.
"Rather him than me," did you say?
It could have come out of some "B" movie thriller.
He parried and shouted, "This bunny's a killer,"
Then collapsed like a fallen souffle.
It's one we should teach every son, every daughter.
Not all those cute rabbits behave like they oughta;
Some tear out your throat just for play.
His armour all crushed like some stomped-upon turtle.
We covered his body with sprigs of crape myrtle
And then went on our merry way.
Purse of gold coin and his hand-crafted jewelry.
It's what he'd have wanted, on that we could all agree.
He can't use 'em now anyway.
I just wish the end hadn't been quite so gory.
But, let's raise a tankard of ale to the story
Of our bold and brave Sir Enjay.
