Knighted (Uninvited, Alanis Morisette)

This is another parody on request, from my Dad who suggested I take on the bizarre but effective Uninvited. I haven't quite worked out who the speaker is, but I figure with all the people being knighted lately, there must be at least one poor schmuck who isn't quite sure why...

Knighted

Like anyone would be,
I am flattered that you gave this title to me.
Like courtly heroes and Beatles,
I am apparently exotic and brave.
Oh, I am very proud.
I have been knighted.
Sure hope you got it right!

I've not done any fighting
Or climbed Mount Everest.
I have a hard time telling
Just what it is I do best.
But I am very proud.
I have been knighted.
Sure hope you got it right!

Like someone part of a fairy story,
I feel like I must be dreaming.
You speak of my skills like
I am, quite simply, someone you adore.
And I am very proud.
I have been knighted.
Sure hope you got it right!

Though I'm not sure I'm worthy,
This honor's something I appreciate.
