Heh. I'd forgotten this one.
YOU NEVER CAN TELL
(tune original, or use most of Boiled in Lead's version of
The Lusty Young Smith, or whatever fits.)
Lord Angus went down to Crown Tourney
A distance of many a mile
The tales he brought back from his journey
Will keep us amused for a while
Chorus:
For you never can tell at a tourney
You will see things you haven't before
It may seem a bit wild
But it's all pretty mild
You should see what goes on at the War!
He was trying both courtly and suave to appear
To a certain young lady he wished to impress
When what to his wondering eyes should draw near
But the Baron of Nordskogen --- clad in a dress!
Chorus
Oh, the Baron looked really quite fetching
In fact, he could cause quite a stir
But the lady in question was kvetching
That the dress fit him better that her...
Chorus
Twas the corset that made him the belle of the ball
An image that he will not easily escape
Indeed I'm surprised that he got out at all
For we fastened him in with a whole roll of tape!
Chorus
So if period style is your passion
And if being authentic's your quest
Make sure you take note of the fashion
In which Barons are rightly addressed!
Chorus and finis.
Yeah, it all happened. I wasn't actually there, myself, but the stories from eyewitnesses were so good that I had to wrap some words around them and make it a song.
