Original Song - (this is so totally the Genius of ZHIE!! - I personally sing this to the tune of "The Lumberjack Song" but hell, its up to you...;) Love, Bird
The Canary and Meadowlark take the stage, wearing their Birds of a Feather garb, including their masks. The Canary has her lute, and the Meadowlark has with him a mandolin. They sit down and the Canary begins to speak as the Meadowlark tunes his instrument.
"This is a lovely song written by the Meadowlark and I, but it requires audience participation. You'll find the words on the sheets under your seats. If anyone has title suggestions, we'd love to hear them. Everybody ready?" she asks and the crowd chears as they begin to play:
Meadowlark:
I'm an elven lord, they call me Fin,
I once lived in Gondolin!
But now Rivendell is home to me,
Last homely house east of the sea!
Canary & admiring ladies:
He's an elven lord, they call him Fin,
He once lived in Gondolin!
But if he mentions the balrog, listen to me,
Run away from the house east of the sea!
Meadowlark:
I was supposed to be in the Fellowship,
Something bout a ring and a dangerous trip!
But when I went to mount my horse,
Asfaloth was missing, again, of course!
Canary & admiring ladies:
He was supposed to be in the Fellowship,
Something bout a ring and a dangerous trip!
But Arwen worried bout her ranger and stole his horse,
Last time it was Legolas, this is par for the course!
Meadowlark:
I fought some orcs and I fought a warg,
Fought some nazgul once when I was bored!
I can scare all the baddies when I'm upset,
Just one look at me in my pink corset!
Canary & admiring ladies:
He fought some orcs and he fought a warg,
Fought some nazgul once when he was bored!
He can scare all the baddies when he's upset,
Just one look… at his pink corset?!
The Canary stops playing and stares at the Meadowlark. "Does the Peacock know about this?"
"Oh, he's the one who got it for me," grins the Meadowlark. "Someone has to make sure it's laced up good and tight," he adds with a wink.
All:
"He's an Elven Lord, his name is Fin,
He once lived in Gondolin!
But now Rivendell is home to heeeeeeeeeee,
pause & breathe
Last homely house east of the sea!"
They take their bows and head offstage.
