Here we go everyone! Round 3 so to speak... If you've been able to guess the last two then you're doing good... Just a little heads up, this one is a bit different. THis one is dedicated to my friends at the Final Fantasy XI Social Board at Gamefaqs.com... So words like "vets" and "trolls" may seem foreign to a few of you and I just like to apologize ahead of time. But this one may be fairly obvious because the songs been rewritten so many times before...

The Ballad of the FFXI Board

A long long time ago

I can still remember how that shovel used to make me smile

And I knew if I had my chance

That I could make those Vets dance

And maybe they'd be happy for a while

But February made me shiver

With every harvestmoogle I'd deliver

Bad news on the doorstep

I couldn't take one more step

I can't remember if I cried

When I read about his widowed bride

But something touched me deep inside

The day the trolls died...

{Refrain}

So, bye-bye, Annoying Troll guy

Drove my chevy to the board

But the board did not cry

And thay good ol' Udder was drinkin' whiskey and rye

Singin' this'll be the day that I die

This'll be the day that I die

Verse 2

Did you write the Terms of Service

And do you have faith in Moderators

If the Terms of Service tells you so

Do you believe in rock n' roll

Can whiteghost save your mortal soul

And can Renee teach me how to dance real slow

Well, I know that Cina's in fued with Tom[fin]

'Cause I saw you fightin' in the gym

You both kicked off your shoes

Man, I dig those rhythm & blues

I was a lonely, teenage Zodiac

With a pink chocobo and a turkey roast

But I knew I was in some luck

The day the the trolls died

I started singin'

{Refrain}

Verse 3

Now for two years we've been on our own

And Square Enix grows fat on a rollin' stone

But that's not how it used to be

When the Elponcho sang for the King and Queen

In a coat he borrowed from Jhonnyram

In a voice that came from you and me

Oh, and while the King was looking down

Elponcho stole his thorny crown

The courtroom was adjourned

No verdict was returned

And while Jestie read a book on Marx

Bluethunder practiced in the park

And we sang Bass Mithras in the dark

The day the music died

We were singin'

{Refrain}

Verse 4

Nightmare Odin in a summer swelter

DJ Loki flew off with a fallout shelter

Eight miles high and falling fast

It landed foul on Jimera's arse

The Vets tried for a forward pass

With Elponcho on the sidelines in a cast

Now the half-time air was sweet perfume

While Bretennia played a marching tune

SolarSword got up to dance

Oh but he never got the chance

'Cause the Vets tried to take the field

The evil trolls refused to yield

Do you recall what Erased revealed?

The day the music died

We started singing

{Refrain}

Verse 5

Oh, and there they were, all in one place

A generation of trolls lost in space

With no time left to start again

So come on, Pek, be nimble, Pek be quick

Pek a lek sat on a candlestick

'Cause fire is the devils only friend

Oh, and as I watched him on the stage

My hands were clenched in fists of rage

No Vet born in Hell

Could break that Troll's spell

And as Vets climbed high into the night

To light the sacrificial rite

I saw Udder laughing with delight

The day the music died

He was singing

{Refrain}

Verse 6

I met a Arcaneja who sang the blues

And I asked 'em for some happy news

But Arc just smiled and turned away

I went down to the sacred store

Where I'd heard the music years before

But funandgames said the music wouldn't play

And in the streets Black Rag screamed

FutureDarkElf cried, and Hollaback dreamed

But not a word was spoken

The Mark for mod buttons all were broken

And the three men I admire most

Nick Blaze, Benjjjamin and Wildbill

They caught the last chocobo for the coast

The day the music died

And they were singin'

{Refrain}

So, bye-bye, Annoying Troll guy

Drove my chevy to the board

But the board did not cry

And thay good ol' Udder was drinkin' whiskey and rye

Singin' this'll be the day that I die

This'll be the day that I die

So, bye-bye, Annoying Troll guy

Drove my chevy to the board

But the board did not cry

And thay good ol' Udder was drinkin' whiskey and rye

Singin' this'll be the day that I die

This'll be the day that I die

Original Title: American Pie (a damn good song, by the way)...
