I thought is was: 'drink you under the table' It is a drinking song, after all. Bruce would agree with me. – Webhat

In The Fairly Incomplete and Rather Badly Illustrated Monty Python Song Book the lines are "think you under the table" and "Wilhelm Freidrich Hegel". Dunno if that helps. Acanon 01:45, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Amended lyrics. I'm almost certain it's "think you under the table". Which makes sense as it's mixing thinking into a drinking expression in much the same way as "drink therefore I am" mixes drinking into a thinking expression. --Plumbago 14:01, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Are the lyrics copyright-free?Jorge Stolfi 12:11, 19 Mar 2004 (UTC)

No of course not. Justinc 12:57, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

I don't see any reason not to have the full lyrics of the song and have therefore reinstated them Arthur Holland

Because they are a copyright violation. Justinc 12:57, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

The version of the Bruces' Song on "Monty Python - Live at Drury Lane" uses "Both Schopenhauer and Hegel" as the sixth line. It also gives line 17 as "Hobbes was fond of his Dram". Of course, this was a live performance, so it may be different (like the names of the candidates on the Election Night Special) --Random Kingdom 23:30, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
