Picture a night in Camelot
Everyone happy
Arthur Chief Exec
Having a word with his Marketing
Arthur where's your trumpet
I am not old you miserable strumpet
Sorry Merlin
My hearing must be blurring
This table you've thought up
What happened to the loving cup
Their nights my lord are their own affair
The Druids are complaining
will become your care
Why is the table a mile around
We give a lot my lord
To invest in our stragety
That all are equal
Beneath the sword
Have we gone to ground Merlin
Can we leave the straw
Are we ready for the table
We've always had the floor
It makes the wine go far, sir
Are we that hard up
My lord I entreat you
Look at the label on your cup
Tin is popular I'm told
We mine it all the time
That is for the peasants my lord
Yours is supposed to be a cup
Merlin I understand
Your magic disappears
Why only last week
I was told I had big ears
Sire I can spin
Magic around your toes
I'm sorry about your ears
I thought I was covering your nose
Why is it I can never find
another hundred years, Sire
We've only just invented hind
sight
And that stuff will make you blind
Sire

Interesting...  These lines grabbed me good:

Are we ready for the table
We've always had the floor

That could totally be used as lyrics in a political song ala Sting or Midge Ure.

Thanks for the read.

The phrase I really liked, blowing my own trumpet, was:

That all are equal
Beneath the sword
