The Philosopher's Song (- the Monty Python Crew)
(sing with Rousing Australian Gusto)
Emannuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable.
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table.
David Hume could out-consume
Schopenhauer and Hegel,
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as shloshed as Schlegel.
There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya
'Bout the raising of the wrist;
Socrates himself was permanently pissed.
John Stuart Mill of his own free will
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.
Plato, they say, could stick it away,
Half a crate of whiskey every day.
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle,
And Hobbs used to drink his dram.
Rene' Descartes was a drunken fart,
"I drink, therefore I am."
There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya
'Bout the raising of the wrist;
Socrates himself is particularly missed...
Such a lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he's pissed.
