The Off-Key Dragon

The Off-Key Dragon
(A call and response dedicated to Mikani)
[Chorus (Call & Response)]
Faban: Oh the dragon sang high and the dragon sang low
BUT NEVER THE NOTES WHERE THEY’RE MEANT TO GO!
Faban:The bards fled screaming, the minstrels ran
FROM THE OFF-KEY DRAGON OF MIKANI’S CLAN!
[Verse 1]
Now gather round close and I’ll tell ye a tale
Of a dragon whose music made grown heroes pale
Not fire nor claw made the bravest men run
But a note so sour it eclipsed the sun
[Chorus (Call & Response)]
Faban: Oh the dragon sang high and the dragon sang low
BUT NEVER THE NOTES WHERE THEY’RE MEANT TO GO!
Faban: The bards fled screaming, the minstrels ran
FROM THE OFF-KEY DRAGON OF MIKANI’S CLAN!
[Verse 2]
A minstrel once bragged he could outsing the beast
He tuned up his lute for a musical feast
The dragon drew breath and began with a roar
And the minstrel jumped straight through the tavern door
[Chorus (Call & Response)]
Faban: Oh the dragon sang high and the dragon sang low
BUT NEVER THE NOTES WHERE THEY’RE MEANT TO GO!
Faban: The bards fled screaming, the minstrels ran
FROM THE OFF-KEY DRAGON OF MIKANI’S CLAN!
[Verse 3]
The fiddles went silent, the harps fell apart
A whistle cracked clean at the very first start
The priests cried mercy, the mages cried pain
And the dog in the corner howled quite insane
[Chorus (Call & Response)]
Faban: Oh the dragon sang high and the dragon sang low
BUT NEVER THE NOTES WHERE THEY’RE MEANT TO GO!
Faban: The bards fled screaming, the minstrels ran
FROM THE OFF-KEY DRAGON OF MIKANI’S CLAN!
[Verse 4 (Mikani reference)]
Yet one brave soul stood and declared with a grin
“I’ve heard worse notes when my friend joins in!”
The dragon looked puzzled, then gave it a try
And shattered three windows with one mighty cry
[Chorus (Call & Response)]
Faban: Oh the dragon sang high and the dragon sang low
BUT NEVER THE NOTES WHERE THEY’RE MEANT TO GO!
Faban: The bards fled screaming, the minstrels ran
FROM THE OFF-KEY DRAGON OF MIKANI’S CLAN!
[short instrumental]
[Fina Chorus (LOUD)]
Faban: Oh the dragon sang high and the dragon sang low
BUT NEVER THE NOTES WHERE THEY’RE MEANT TO GO!
Faban: The bards fled screaming, the minstrels ran
Entire Tavern: FROM THE OFF-KEY DRAGON OF MIKANI’S CLAN!
