SONG LYRICS Jedi Mickey by Marc Gunn and Andrew McKee A long time ago, a tugboat faraway. Mickey whistled out a tune while bouncing away He turned color after one too many drinks Then called up Lucas saying, “Haha!  Dude... your writing stinks!” When Mickey sobered up, he called the board to plan, "I've had a vision, a lightsaber in my hand We'll make Star Wars as we wish upon a star And will do it far better with a story by Pixar. Haha!" [to the tune When you Wish upon a Star] When the mouse wants your franchise He'll start off licensing for rides. If you're tired and you need some cash He'll buy from you...... One part mouse and one part duck One part Jedi and formulaic luck A Wookie on my right and a Goofy one on my left Merging these two companies... is the big test There's a star destroyer shaped like a mushroom house The Beagle boys stand before a Sith Lord mouse While far away a Jedi Mouse stares into space The three moons of Tatooine replaced... by Mickey's face Mickey meets Minnie. The force is strong with her. He lays a kiss on her, and the fans all hurl Minnie is his sister and that folks is a shame Our love for those mice will never... be the same Mickey stabs the Sith. The dark mouse disappears Wherever there's one Sith Lord, another will appear A duck steps forward with a cloak as black as ink With Jedi mice and ducks, I'll need... a stronger drink.

We've asked him to leave, but he won't go away. Now he's talked to our king and they worked out a deal. No homes will he burn and no crops will he steal. Now there is but one catch, we dislike it a bunch. Twice a year he invites him a virgin to lunch. Well, we've no other choice, so the deal we'll respect. But we can't help but wonder and pause to reflect. * Do virgins taste better than those who are not? Are they salty, or sweeter, more juicy or what? Do you savor them slowly? Gulp them down on the spot? Do virgins taste better than those who are not? Now we'd like to be shed you, and many have tried. But no one can get through your thick scaly hide. We hope that some day, some brave knight will come by. 'Cause we can't wait around 'til you're too fat to fly. Now you have such good taste in your women for sure, They always are pretty, they always are pure. But your notion of dining, it makes us all flinch, For your favorite entree is barbecued wench. Now we've found a solution, it works out so neat, If you insist on nothing but virgins to eat. No more will our number ever grow small, We'll simply make sure there's no virgins at all! The Dragon's Retort words by Claire Stephens, music traditional Now, I am a dragon. Please listen to me. For I'm misunderstood to a dreadful degree. This ecology needs my and I know my place. But I'm fighting extinction with all of my race. Well, I came to this village to better my health Which is ever so poor, despite all my wealth. But I get no assistance and no sympathy, Just impertinent questioning shouted at me. * Yes, virgins taste better than those who are not. But my favorite snack mixed with peril is fraught. For my teeth will decay and my trim go to pot. Yes, virgins taste better than those who are not. Well, I'm really quite kind almost all through the year. Vegetarian ways are now mine out of fear. But a birthday needs sweets as I'm sure you'll agree. And barbecued wench tastes like candy to me As it happens our interests are almost the same. You see I'm really quite skillful at managing game. If I ate just your men, would your excess decline? Of course not, the rest would just make better time. Now, the number of babies a woman can bare Has limits. That's why my prunings done there. And an orphan's a sad sight and so when I much. I'm careful to eat only virgins for lunch The Brobdingnagian Bards Podcast was produced by Marc Gunn, and Andrew McKee.

Find out more at thebards.net --- SONG LYRICS: A FAIRY STORY words and music by Shay Healy, Oisin Music Ltd, Ireland In days of old in a kingdom bold, there lived a fearsome dragon. And the King he was in great distress and the countries spirits flagoned. Until one day there came a knight, he was handsome, bold, and charming. And he slew the dragon with his sword with a smile that was so disarming. With a hey and a ho and a hey nany no, a smile that was so disarming. Said the King I wish to know your name, but the knight said do not bother. For the name of a knight of the realm says he, is the same as any other. Said the King tonight in my daughter's bed you shall take your leisure. And she'll reward you for your deed, with a night of exhausting pleasure. With a hey and a ho and a hey nany no, anight of exhausting pleasure. One daughter she had raven hair, a maiden young and chaste. And she slept all night in the pale moonlight, naked to the waist. The other daughter she was fair, the fairest in the town. And she slept all night in the pale moonlight naked from her small waist down. With a hey and a ho and a hey nany no, naked from her small waist down. Well the knight he spends many hour behind the castle wall. But the ending to my story dear, isn't what it seems at all. For in neither bed of neither maid was he repaid for his glory. But he slept all night with the King instead for this is a fairy story. With a hey and a ho and a hey nany no, for this is a Fairy story.

Their love was strongThe swore to tell their parents that they belong  The oldest sister told her six siblingsShe met a man to love for eternity They giggled and laughed with pride and joyThey would see her wed, the sisters swore.  The gentleman shared the love he foundBut the Laird reminded him he was duty boundHe was betrothed to a fair ladyTo extend his father’s land along the sea There in the meadow, the gentleman professed To marry the maiden in a pretty white dressShe and her sisters, they promisedThey would wait for him til their Marriage kiss The Laird he learned of the marriage planHe swore his son would become a manHe chained his son on the bailey groundthe gentleman said he was already bound As the sun set, the laird laughed cruelly You’ll stay there till you listen to meThe Gentleman called out to the nightI will be faithful to my love so bright There was a bright light. The ground it shook. The water went dry Down by the brook. The sisters heard the gentlemen's cry.They turn to stane so they’d never die The Lord went down to the Bailey ground To see if his son had come aroundThere where his son had been chained alaneAll that stood was a standings stane Deep in the wood by a dried up brookStand Seven tall stones that continue to lookThe seven sisters await the swainWho stands in the courtyard all alane  Brobdingnagian Bards “Seven Sisters” from Another Faire to Remember NEXT TIME: Marc interviews Andrew about his new CD.
