lyrics

There once was a man who owned all of the land
and he went by the name Eric Fordsun
He was a great man you know that much is true
and we called him this glorious name

One day on the roof stands a crow in the sunlight
and we called him this name Eric Fordsun
He was a better crow than you have ever known
so we gave him this glorious name

One day on the fence little rat passing by
and we called him this name Eric Fordsun
He was a prime example of a very good rat
and we gave him this glorious name

One night in the yard there a skunk creeping in
and we called him this name Eric Fordsun
He was quite well mannered and a dignified skunk
so we gave him this glorious name

And so in this perfect world I'm dreaming of
the people say
‘it’s Eric Fordsun we love'
and so we thank Eric in heaven above
our slumlord our landlord our king

Day breaks
the tiny birds awake
a sigh escapes the wind
that certainly you’re meant to be our friend
Eric Fordsun
our king
Eric Fordsun
You are my Star
my Light
my Heart

From the rat to the crow to the skunk to the man
every creature now named Eric Fordsun
We give the name to all in the world that we see
for it is such a glorious name

Yes there once with a man who owned all of the land
and we call him this name Eric Fordsun
We pay him our monthly gift of rent
to show our respect and love
