Not, as one might expect, a song about 'The Reign of Terror'. Rather this is far more Season 13 in manner, hatched from Emily's concern that cheddar's dominance of the cheese-market may some-day prove to be dominance of all.

lyrics

Have I the right
To touch these cows together?
Eliminate the blight
The cheese they call the cheddar
Break the chains,
The cheese unfetter
Put the poison in
Never let it begin

The cheese that won
The greatest fame
The sacred fire
The sacred flame
And is my meddling
All to blame?

Have I the right
To touch these cows together?
Eliminate the blight
The cheese they call the cheddar
Could this be the night
I destroy it altogether
The cheese atop the list
Will cease to exist!

Cheddar in the end
Will be all that is left
I know it as the strongest
The mightiest and/the best
Cathedral City
The City of Death

Have I the right
To touch these cows together?
Eliminate the blight
The cheese they call the cheddar
It isn’t black and white
And I don’t know whether
To blot it out
Or let it sprout

If it were a virus
I’d eradicate
If it were an evil
I wouldn’t hesitate
But with such a flavour
Such a taste

Have I the right
To touch these cows together?
Eliminate the blight
The cheese they call the cheddar
Start to ignite
Run hell for leather
Touch the cow
Do it now
