Knight In Rusty Armour:Peter And Gordon.
Top of the charts in 1966.

#1.
                            
Long ago, in days of old, there lived a knight who
                                     
wasn't quite as bold, as a knight should be.
                                  
He rode an old grey mare called Bess, searchin' for 
                                                  
a damsel in distress...just to see if he, could set her free.

CHORUS:
                                    
See the knight in rusty armour ride..To her aid.
                                        
Trusty sword is hanging at his side..With a rusty blade.

#2.
                               
Up the tower steps he sneaked, but as he moved,
                                       
his rusty armour squeaked..Such a mournful note..
                                    
that all the sentries at their posts, thought it must 
                   
have been the castle ghost.
                                  
They jumped for their lives..In the moat.

CHORUS:#2.
                                    
So the knight in rusty armour won..His fair maid.
                                         
Had no need to draw his trusty sword..With a rusty blade.

#3.
                             
As he bent to kiss his bride, he found that he was
                            
rusted up inside..in his battle dress.
            
And I can't guess...
                     
How they still got married and had twins.
             
They came in tins.
                          
Every suit of armour ever made, has a kink,
                         
chain mail pants with a missing link.
