Use that Shroud, Penelope

Am C For twenty years as queen, you've kept your faithfulness, D Am And ruled your island nation, despite your distress, C D C D And though without a father, you still raised a son C D C D Surrounded by suitors, you're not allowed to shun, C D G It's time to use that burial shroud you've done. Chorus: G D C D Weave a shroud, Penelope, with Ody gone, no king you need G C Antonious, he wants your crown, you cannot let his greed succeed, D C D So when the weaving's finally through, poison food, give him his due, G D C G Throw that body in the sea, use that shroud, Penelope. When a suitor asks, invite him to come in, Blinded by his lust, your plotting can begin Offer him a glass of wine, wait until he slumbers If you place nail to his skull, you'll do quite the number, When you treat his temple as lumber. Chorus I know you've not met Circe, but you could follow suit, Give those porcine suitors, the food the seek to loot Though you have no magic, you have herbs and food, All those porkers feasting, all who've tried to woo, Will soon be choking on the food they chewed. Chorus Using craft and cunning for which you were loved, Overlooked by foul men, you would not be shoved, One-by-one each suitor, you wrapped in a shroud When they got suspicious, you took out the whole crowd, When Ody returns, you know that he'll be proud. Chorus
