The Gleeman
____________
It's nine o'clock on Winternight
The Two Rivers crowd is all here
There's a Coplin sitting next to me
Makin' love to his tabac and beer
He says, "Dude, cansh you *hic* play zhish melody
I'm shure vat I heard it before
Cuz ish shad an' ish shweet an' I knew it complete..."
And then he falls down on the floor!
Da da da de de da da
Da da de de da da
De da
Sing us a song, you're the gleeman
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood for a novelty
And you fir the description all right
Now Mat at the bar's a new friend of mine
With luck like you'd never believe
In exchange for his tricks he'll get whallops and kicks
From that bitch of a Wisdom, Nyneave!
He says, "Thom, I believe this is killing me"-
As he's giving me one of those looks-
"Well I know that I would be a movie star
If I could get out of these books!"
Da da da de de da da

Sing us a song, you're the gleeman

Well we're all in the mood for a novelty
And you fit the description all right
Moiraine is a real-and-true Aes Sedai
Who looks for the Dragon Reborn
And she's talkin' with Lan, who's a stony-faced man
'Bout Myrddraal and Trollocs with horns
And Egwene, she is practicing channeling
As the folks listen to Padan Fain
Yeah, he's sharing a drink he calls evilness
Talkin' 'bout the false Dragon, Logain!
Da da da de de da da

And you fit the description all right
It's a pretty good crowd for a Winternight
Old Bran al'Vere gives me a grin
The Trollocs may come, but for now they'll have rum
So he waits for the dough to roll in
And tomorrow there will be a carnival
With a Maypole and sweetmeats and beer
Rand, Perrin and Mat are excited 'bout that
And the fact that there's ifour/i strangers here!
