    50 Ways To Leave Your Barony
  “The problem is all inside your head", my Sire said to me.
“The answer is easy if you take it logically.
We'd like to help you in your struggle to be free.
There must be fifty ways to leave your Barony.”
  They said “It would be really bad to start a bloody feud.
Furthermore, We hope our meaning won't be lost or misconstrued,
But We'll repeat it at the risk of being bood.
There must be fifty ways to leave your barony,
Fifty ways to leave your barony.”
  Get shot out the back, Jack
Avoid the big coup, Lou,
No need to be killed, Will,
Just listen to me.
You can go mad, Chad,
Take a long trip, Chip,
Go off to sea, Lee,
and get yourself free.
  Go with the Girls, Earl,
Rest on the Isle, Lyle,
Set down the crown, Brown,
and get out of town.
Make a new plot, Mott,
Don't lose your head, Ned,
Evade all your Guard, Bard,
And soon you'll be free.
The Crown said “It grieves me so so see you in such pain,
wish there was something We could do to see you free again.”
I said “I appreciate that, but would you please explain,
about the 50 ways?”   They said “Why don't you just sleep on it tonight.
And We believe in the morning everything will be alright.”
So I doubled the guard and realized they probably were right,
There must be 50 ways to leave your barony.
  Drop the brass hat, Mat,
Die of old age, Sage,
Lie on the bier, Dear,
and burn your troubles away.
Become a Monk, Punk,
Get lost in a cave, Dave,
Pick up a stick, Rick,
and fight your way free.
  Sally out the port, Mort,
Just follow your feet, Pete,
and beat a retreat.
Go on the lamb, Sam,
Spit on the Queen, Dean,
Go off to sea, Lee,
and get yourself free.

  Lyrics By Paul, Claire, Dore, Wilhelm, Celleach
Written on the drive home from Coronation, mostly.
