Coming up this Saturday ... Jim Gleason's Little People - Part 2

From WWR

Trivia, story behind the song, etc.

Fantastic parody of the Irish Washerwoman. The song quickly became a hit among filkers and Rennies. Now, we've taken it one step further, out into the world of MP3.com, where it has been in the Comedy Top 20 consistently since January 2001! [1]

Lyrics

words by Randy Farran, music traditional 

A dragon has come to our village today. 
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!
