The Burning Tent Songtext
von Leslie Fish

But the chorus is very simple

Lulay lulay lulay lulay
The fire hath burned my tent away

Heheh

Upon the Ides of Februar
When Staghold House had come to war
The night, being cold, a maiden sent
A propane heater into her tent

Lulay, lulay, lulay, lulay
The fire hath burned my tent away

The heater sat, its makers to thank
Upon a full five gallon tank
When half the camp had gone to bed
The fuel line cracked and the propane bled

Lulay, lulay, lulay, lulay
The fire hath burned my tent away


The house dog barked, the maiden woke
To see low flames and smell the smoke
She threw her cloak upon the break
And shouted loud the camp to wake
Eeeee!

Lulay, lulay, lulay, lulay
The fire hath burned my tent away

Lord Etienne woke to smoke and fog
He opened the tent and he threw out the dog
He seized his pants, he seized the maid
And fast tracks for the door he laid

Lulay, lulay, lulay, lulay
The fire hath burned my tent away

Lord Colin came a-running then
He seized both maid and Lord Etienne
He heaved them both clear of the fray
They landed twenty-odd yards away

Did I mention this guy is the House champion?

Lulay, lulay, lulay, lulay
The fire hath burned my tent away

Lord Mordaryn came running, three sheets to the wind
He saw the fire and plunged straight in
The propane tank began to cough
He seized the nozzle and turned the thing off


Lulay, lulay, lulay, lulay
The fire hath burned my tent away

By then, the household had gathered round
A dozen extinguishers hosed the fire down
And naught but fumes were left of the flame
By the time that the firemen came

Lulay, lulay, lulay, lulay
The fire hath burned my tent away

Lord Mordaryn suffered no worse than a cough
The hair on Lord Colin′s arms was scorched off
Some blisters few had Lord Etienne
And even the dog came home again

Lulay, lulay, lulay, lulay
The fire hath burned my tent away
Lulay, lulay, lulay, lulay
The fire hath burned my tent away
