Lyrics
The mustard musketeers
Traveled the world calming the fears of the ladies in waiting
'Twas a glorious time
Swords and swoons and magic harpoons and white horseback riding
Oom da da da. Oom pa pa. Oom pa pa hey
Oom da da da. Oom pa pa. Oom pa pa hey
Oom da da da. Oom pa pa. Oom pa pa hey
Oom da da da. Oom pa pa. Oom pa pa hey
Da da dum. Da da da da
The mustard musketeers
Huffed and they puffed till they puffed sway everyone's sorrows
And then they rode away
Into directionless dust and no one could say where they'd end up tomorrow
Oom da da da. Oom pa pa. Oom pa pa hey
Oom da da da. Oom pa pa. Oom pa pa hey
Oom da da da. Oom pa pa. Oom pa pa hey
Oom da da da. Oom pa pa. Oom pa pa hey
Da da dum. Da da da da
Da da dum. Da da da da
Time went by and they got older
Stars got hotter and days got colder
It's paper or plastic
Or paper or plastic
Or paper or plastic
Or paper or plastic
The mustard musketeers
Scaled their last castle wall and went in undercover
One went in dressed like a priest
One went as a gardener
And one went in as a flower
Oom da da da. Oom pa pa. Oom pa pa hey
Oom da da da. Oom pa pa. Oom pa pa hey
Oom da da da. Oom pa pa. Oom pa pa hey
Oom da da da. Oom pa pa. Oom pa pa hey
Oom da da da. Oom pa pa. Oom pa pa hey
Oom da da da. Oom pa pa. Oom pa pa hey
Oom da da da. Oom pa pa. Oom pa pa hey
Oom da da da. Oom pa pa. Oom pa pa hey
