Immanuel Kant lyrics

From Monty Python`s `Live at the Hollywood Bowl`
Transcribed by John Daley jdaley@picasso.ocis.temple.edu

Immanuel 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 schloshed as Schlegel.

There`s nothing Nietzsche couldn`t teach ya `bout the turning of the wrist,
Socrates himself was permanently pissed...

John Stuart Mill, of his own free will, with 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 beggar for the bottle,
Hobbes was fond of his dram,
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart, `I drink therefore I am.`

Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed;
A lovely little thinker but a bugger when he`s pissed
