Can anyone give me the lyrics to this funny Monty Python song about famous philosophers? Thanks!
“They’re coming to take me away ha-ha, ho-ho, hee-hee, to the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time… :)” - Napoleon IV
Right here…

“Sometimes I think the web is just a big plot to keep people like me away from normal society.” — Dilbert
It’s been a while, but here’s the best I can recall (with copious apologies for many of the spellings):
Immanuel Kant was a real pissant who was very rarely stable,
Heidigger, Heidigger was a boozy beggar who could drink [think?] you under the table,
David Hume could outconsume Schoepenauer and Hegel,
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine who was just as sloshed as Schlaegel.
There’s nothing Neitchze 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 of sherry was particularly ill,
Plato, they say, could stick it away: half a quart 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.”
Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed,
A lovely little thinker but a bugger when he’s pissed.
Ok, who beat me to the simulpost?
Just remember that “pissed” in the UK means “drunk.”
Within the last month or so, Eric Idle performed this song on ** The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn ** on CBS.
Work is the curse of the drinking classes. (Oscar Wilde)
