Croí's Bard Songs

Hullo all!

Several people have requested lyrics to the songs I've written for our local towns members, so I thought i'd post them here.


The three posted are as follows: The Ballad of Tic-Tac-Toe, The Magnus Song, Squire Shi Ku Na

Note that the words sometimes alter slightly during performance as I tend to get a bit carried away.
This is the gist for the most part, though.

Hope you enjoy 'em!
If anyone would like the lyric to any of the other songs performed at feast, send me a missive and I shall post them as well.


The Ballad of Tic-Tac-Toe

Travance is known for heroes here
The mighty, Great and Tall,
But have I got a tale for you
Of a hero heart so small.

Named Tic-Tac-Toe, she was new to us,
Not but two moons old.
She met some Alisandrians
And fell in with their own.

They walked the very puddle paths
And showed her all the town
But something madn’in did occur,
When spied a portal on the ground

This Halfling, This Halfling
Tucked up her knees, hands on her shins
This Halfling, This Halfling
Who found a portal and Jumped right in
This Halfling, This Halfling
Oh wouldn’t I be
So lucky to know
That hero hearted
Portal diving
Tic-Tac-Toe

Now hold your breaths and steel your ears,
Clasp your shaking hands,
Just where on earth or planes beyond
Did this portal land?

I fear to say Agaura’s realm
Is where our hero goes.
Moments pass, no stir nor sign
Of our fair Tic-Tac-Toe…

When suddenly, a ghastly glow,
And spewed forth our hero unscathed
And with her, the Lord of Drega’Mire
I swear it Lord Aleister’s face

The Lord raised his voice so all could hear
And proclaimed to all in sight
“Hear Me Now, Good People of Travance;
This Halfling Saved My Life!”

This Halfling, This Halfling
Tucked up her knees, hands on her shins
This Halfling, This Halfling
Who found a portal and Jumped right in
This Halfling, This Halfling
Oh wouldn’t I be
So lucky to know
That hero hearted
Portal diving
Tic-Tac-Toe



The Magnus Song

Magnus punched a tree with his face once
He punched a tree with his face
Magnus punched a tree with his face once
And gods, I feel bad for the tree

The Knight Captain stole my hat once
He stole my hat from me
Make chase if you can, but you can’t outrun that man
Besides, it looks better on him than on me

I hear that Magnus died once
Just once, maybe two times, or three
I hear Magnus died over one thousand times
An’ that seems a tad excessive to me

Magnus punched a tree with his face once
He punched a tree with his face
Magnus punched a tree with his face once
And I’m glad it was the tree an’ not me!



Squire Shi Ku Na

He doesn’t complain, He gets the job done
He’s the very first not-screwed-up adopted Na son
We all know he’s modest, and humble, it’s true
But no one has specifics,
Shi Ku, what do you do?

Oh that Squire, Shi Ku Na
Na na na na na na na na na na
Na a detail it’s said can be found
But he’s Na-Too-Shabby a guy all around

He back flips from boats, and sticks flowers in his ear
He’s without a doubt the prettiest not-screwed-up Na here
He’s a match makin’ Druid, don’t ask I’m not tellin’
But he’s a hard hittin’ fighter when trouble’s a yellin’

Oh that Squire, Shi Ku Na
Na na na na na na na na na na
Na a detail it’s said can be found
But he’s Na-Too-Shabby a guy all around

You all told me he’s awesome, and a song due was bid
But gods help if any of you can remember things that he did
But that’s fine, because really, when all’s said and done
I think we can agree that he’s Na-mber one!

Oh that Squire, Shi Ku Na
Na na na na na na na na na na
Na a detail it’s said can be found
But he’s Na-Too-Shabby a guy all around

Always,
