Beowulf (I Am Deformed) - Momus

I have come with my sword Naegling

And the usual aches and pains

To defeat Grendel, the monster

Lately scourge of the Danes

Showing no mercy in the mead hall

He laid waste thirty thanes

In return I will chop off his shoulder

Then I will deal with his mother

Where is the disabled loo?

I’m feeling slightly queasy, woozy

So would you if you’d had to do

The things I’ve had to do

Slay the good, slay the bad

Do I have the right to use the disabled loos?

Did they send the right man from the land of heroes?

Stop laughing, I am Beowulf

I give you my oath, as I was born

I am Beowulf

I am the hero coming to save you

I am deformed

Cancer gubbins that hangs at my neck like a turkey throat

Swaddling leather trussing up a shrivelled belly bloat

Dangling from my orifice is a puzzling speculum drip

If you promise not to tell anyone I have a hare lip

A smoking hole and a very large mole

My face it slithers, my ears are torn

Don’t laugh, I am deformed

Stop laughing, I am Beowulf

I give you my oath, as I was born

I am Beowulf

I am the hero coming to save you

I am deformed

So go ahead, laugh, you won’t be the first

Richard the Hundredth, the Hunchback laughed

Henry Dalrymple the simpleton convulsed with mirth

At this sick rubber joke my bones as they poke out of a hole in my skin

At this helplessly flailing mutant apalling prosthetic thalydomide limb

Have a good laugh while you’re at it at my schlong

My metallic foot brace it scratches and drags

I dribble down a twig

I twitch along the ground

My Breugel boots they beggar belief

I have the stinky shanks of a hound

My patchy moustache hides a birthmark

I have come to save Denmark

Stop laughing, I am Beowulf

I give you my oath, as I was born

I am Beowulf

I am the hero I’ve come to save you

And I am deformed
