Last year at this time I was writing Hawaii Five-0 Christmas filk songs (fan songs that change the words to existing tunes). I thought I'd gotten it out of my system but then I read "How the Avengers Spend Their Time Off" by special agent Ali and the Avengers were making up songs …
One note; I usually try to stick with secular songs, but this batch of six songs uses two hymns, including this one. But how could I resist "on high" for Hawkeye? I hope to post one a day until Christmas Day.
Hawkeye We Have Seen on High
Hawkeye we have seen on high
swiftly shooting o'er the fray
and the gunshots in reply
miss him as he slips away
Glo-oooooooooooooo-orious
The Avengers archer
Glo-oooooooooooooo-orious
The Avengers ar-r-cher
He sees better from afar
and his arrows never miss
When you have him at your back
you can fight with confidence
Glo-oooooooooooooo-orious
The Avengers archer
Glo-oooooooooooooo-orious
The Avengers ar-r-cher
