Philosopher's Song
-by Monty Python


Immanuel Kant was a real piss-ant
                    
Who was very rarely stable
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
                              
Who could think you under the table
David Hume could out-consume
                   
Whilhelm Friedrich Hegel
    
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
                           
Who was just as sloshed as Schlagel
                
There's nothin' Nieizsche couldn't teach ya
'Bout the raising of the wrist
                              
Socrates himself was permanently pissed

John Stuart Mill of his own free will
After half a pint o' shanty became particularly ill
Plato they say, could stick it away
Half a crate of whiskey every day
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle
Hobbes was fond of his dram
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart
`I drink therefore I am'

But Socrates himself is particularly missed
A lovely little thinker but a bugger when he's pissed
