ノートMedievel and latter day lays. Thus the original title this amusing album when it came out in late ´60.

Sort of a one-man folkie version
of Flanders and Swann, Tony Snell's Englishman Abroad is a witty collection of solo
acoustic songs and parodies on a variety of social topics, from the dryly
sardonic stabs at provincialism in the title track, the class warfare of "U and
Non U," and the downright silly sick humor of the Tom Lehrer-like "National Park for
Diseases." Snell performs most of the songs in a teasing parody of an
upper-class accent (again much like Lehrer)
and bases even the songs that are not direct folk parodies, such as "San
Francisco" and the sympathetic but amusing "Puff the Tragic F*gg*t," on simple,
English-style folk tunes, which gives songs like "The Lay of the Last Crusader"
and "Hired Knight's Day" a certain frisson of authenticity that makes the
satiric lyrics that much more amusing.
