Dragon Tales

[bnewman]

Picking up the story right where "Here Be Dragons" left off, the Fool has fallen into a dragon's lair...

lyrics and music by Benjamin Newman

listen to this song

/ D D~ D D~ D~ / C - - - / 1st / C - A - /

 

I have a treasure

More precious than gold

How can I measure

The tales I've been told?

 

/ " / " / D - - C - - - / A - - - /

 

How many came here

Seeking my hoard?

They were never prepared, so I never got scared

Though I often got bored

 

But after a while, I learned to beguile them

It wasn't that hard

Until every knight who came for a fight

Went home as a bard...

 

/ " / D D~ C - / - - D - / C - - / A - - - /

 

For everyone who comes here has a story

A song to sing, a history to tell

And if one would rather not, my temper can get hot

And most learn that they can turn a little ditty pretty well

 

And now, here you wander

Alone and unarmed...

Did you never ponder

How you might be harmed?

 

Though I'm an old dragon,

My strength hasn't waned;

But don't be a stranger, you'll be in no danger

While I'm entertained...

So if you have stories, adventures and glories

Then you have my ear

To be perfectly clear:

I'm glad that you're here
