From: Daibhid Cheinnedelh Newsgroups: alt.fan.pratchett Subject: [I] The aforementioned filks (Was: [M](I think) Filk query) Date: Wed, 12 Apr 2000 14:53:51 GMT Finally, while the trend seems to have moved to S&G, I assume there is still a market for Chris de Burgh filk? Don't call him Monkeyman It was half past ten in the Mended Drum, when in came a man on the run A lifetime spent in Lancre before this journey He is still unused to the city ways, different from the map in his mind But isn't that a chimp with a pint of best bitter? But when he said "That's a mo...", the regulars howled There were voices 'cross the bar (Don't say it) Voices from afar (Don't say it) That ape's got no sense of humour... Whatever you do: Don't call him monkeyman! Don't try to pick a fight! Don't call him monkeyman Or you won't get out of here alive He goes to the bar, and orders a beer, feeling danger down his back Beware that old anthropoid in the corner And then the beer arrived and he drank it down And it gave his system quite a shock And he saw some bugs that jabbered and moaned in the tankard Then the pub joker cries "You're a man with good eyes "So name that animal" (Don't say it) "Name that animal" (Don't say it) "One word, six letters, starts with 'M'" Whatever you do: Don't call him monkeyman! Don't try to pick a fight! Don't call him monkeyman Or you won't get out of here alive This is becoming a sickness! I now find it difficult to listen to a song without filking it. I've already got the basics of the Patrician's "I Have A Scheme" worked out. Expect it on my next visit. -- Dave, who will return Official Absentee of EU Skiffysoc http://www.ed.ac.uk/~sesoc Luck is my middle name.
