Hahahahaha...you now, as a nearly rabid Monty Python fan, my whole life, I could never figure out what they were saying there:

"...quite in de fat ti gable. Between our quests, we sequin vests..."

It never occurred to me, in the world of the Internet, to look up those "lyrics"!

Whenever I heard it, I would, in my mind, sing it like this:

"...though we're tough and able. Mmm mm mm mm mm mmmm. Mmm mmm mmm mmmm...mm mm mmm mmm and impersonate Clark Gable..."!

the song is brilliantly written with syllabic cadence and as it says in the lyrics

and many times we’re given rhymes that are quite un sing able.

all to rhyme with table.

We’re Knights of the Round Table
We dance whene’er we’re able
We do routines and chorus scenes
With footwork im-pec-cable
We dine well here in Camelot
We eat ham and jam and spam a lot

We’re Knights of the Round Table
Our shows are for-mi-dable
But many times, we’re given rhymes
That are quite un-sing-able
We’re Opera mad in Camelot
We sing from the dia-phragm a lot

In war we’re tough and able
Quite in-de-fat-i-gable
Between our quests we sequin vests
And impersonate Clark Gable
It’s a busy life in Camelot
I have to push the pram a lot
