IMPERIUM COMPOUND (SONGS6.TXT)
(Tune: "Lily the Pink")
(1) Now here's a story, a little bit gory,
A little bit happy, a little bit sad.
About a drink called Imperium Compound
And how the SCA's been had! (1)
Chorus: Oh we think, we think, we think,
The King is a fink, a fink, a fink,
A figure of respectability
Rules the Kingdom thru Imperium Compound
The results are plain to see!
Robert Asprin, pulled many a fast one (alt: Yang the Nauseating, pulled many a fast one)
On the Kingdom and its' Kings,
So we all drank Imperium Compound
Now we can stand the songs he sings! //oh, yeah?// (4)
Ol' Duke Siggie, a West Coast biggie,
Didn't know enough for his own good!
Threw a knife at Yang the Nauseating,
And escaped with Brotherhood! (2)
Mongol Hordemen, those free-living swordsmen
Subverting the Kingdoms from underneath!
Have no use for Imperium Compound
Except perhaps to brush their teeth!
AltChorus: Oh we fink, we fink, we fink,
The Khan and the Kink, the Kink, the Kink,
And the Board, their Great Senilities!
The Western Irgun, drinks Imperium Compound
And we're BACK, with results you'll see! (13)
Now he's claws and teeth and hair!
Grimdore Hawksbane looked like a Great Dane
And the ladies always passed him by
So he tried some Imperium Compound
Now they follow him and sigh!
From Ansteorra came Sir Galem Ostwestly
A most noble, chaste, and holy Knight
Took a swig of Imperium Compound
Now he ***ks and sings all night!
Baron Moonwulf had a small problem
He thought Rivengut was just too sweet
So we gave him Imperium Compound
Now he cannot find his feet!
Lady Laurel, with Authority Royal,
Passes and rejects our heraldry
She needs a swig of Imperium Compound
Then perhaps she'd deign to talk to me!
Lady Trude thought it her duty
To turn a social wrong into a Right
Proved her point with Imperium Compound
And showed that Cheshire Cats can fight! //and scratch//
The Board of Directors styled themselves The Electors
And another con they tried to swing
Now the BoD drinks Imperium Compound
So we no longer need a King! (7)
AltChorus: Oh the Bod, the BoD, the BoD,
It thinks it is God, is God, is God,
The figure of Supreme Authority!
And if we O.D.'d on Imperium Compund
there'd be no need for Royalty! (7/8)
Ioseph of Locksley, never changes his socks, he
Runs around looking like a Cavalier,
He stocked up on Imperium Compound
And he has enough to last for years and years! (13)
AltChorus: Oh they forgot, forgot, forgot
The Locks-e-ly Plot, the Plot, the Plot!
And it works the best when it is underground!
It isn't a hassle for a green-and-white tassle
They're the ones that BREW Imperium Compound! (13)
Seneshal Keridwen, a leader of good men,
Sought to give away her job
She was poisoned with Imperium Compound
Now when we think of her, we sob!
Duchess Deshive, had it her own way,
Ruled Caid, and as a Queen, did well!
But they gave out Imperium Compound,
And a toga party blew it all to hell! (13)
Cariadoc drinks Imperium Compound
Just before the start of every bout
No need to ask him why he does it
It's said of Duke Angus, he likes to drink kumiss
In fact he'll drink most anything,
But he'll never touch Imperium Compound
For only BUD is fit for Kings! (16)
Fredrick of Holland came from the Westland
And in the East by him great deeds were done
He'd worked up a thirst for Imperium Compound
For he'd been fighting since DAY ONE! // No Kidding! // (16)
( 16)
Fredrick of Holland drank Imperium Compound
But he didn't think it awfully neat,
Made a face and muttered lowly:
"This stuff is too damn sweet!" (16)
9
)
,
Denis O'Titans was good at smitin'
A Locksley Monster in every single way!
Drank a little Imperium Compound
And ATE Deaton's sword that day // No! REALLY! // (5)
10
Then there's Duke Reynard, with a face like a St. Bernard
Of the Dukes, he is the homliest
He tends to toke up on Imperium Compound
And go out and whomp on anybody's best!
This song'll bedevil the folks at a revel,
And most of the time it will annoy the King,
So take a drink of Imperium Compound
And let's go Royalty-bedeviling! (5)
Duchess Anna is quite a fan-a
Going on a wartime shopping spree! \\ War Point!\\
Took a drink of Imperium Compound
And shopped so fast we couldn't see! \\ Z-o-o-o-om!\\ (5)
Lyn of Whitewolfe, made of the right stuff,
Twice the Queen of Atenveldt;
Took a drink of Imperium Compound
And the Kingdom of Caid before her knelt! (5)
Duke Sir Brion, and Duke Sir Trelon,
Won the Crown with regularity;
Drank a lot of Imperium Compound,
And founded a dynasty! (5)
Stephan von Geist, was most awful nice,
And a chivalrous fighter without any doubt
Took a swig of Imperium Compound
And won the Crown his first time out! (5))
Then there's Dagan, his brother's the Ka-Khan,
Which is quite funny in a King!
If he gets hooked on Imperium Compound
There'll be new songs to sing! \\ Oh, really?\\ (19)
Fredrick of Holland, who dwells in the Northland,
A Master from the West, he came!
Spends all his money for Imperium Compound
That's why his garb's always the same! (20)
Now Gyrth Oldcastle, round as a beer barrel,
Once chose to quarrel with a certain Bard;
The poet served him with Imperium Compound,
And left him rendered down to lard! (20)
(112) Many tales abound of Imperium Compound
And its' strange effects on Royalty,
But after an hour, this song has no power,
and sings and sings and sings! AltChorus: Oh it's too long, too long, too long To sing the whole song, the song, the song Longer than a Royal Court, it is! But sing it serial, this ditty Imperial And you'll be a bardic whiz!
