AN-Hey everyone, I said I'd update eventually! I have to say, as much as it hurts, that this song fic will end on chapter 23. The finale song will be a duet by Nemo and Alan, and the next chapter after this will be by M, so I need some volunteers to be his little 'posse' singing with him! Enjoy.
The league sat around the fire in the grate, and ad been telling each other stories of their past. Nemo began to tell them of something that happened on his travels…
Nemo:
A long time ago me and my brother Ishmael here,
we were hitchhikin' down a long and lonesome road.
All of a sudden, there shined a shiny demon... in the middle... of the road.
Ishmael: And he said:
Nemo:
In a weird demonic voice
Play the best song in the world, or I'll eat your souls
Well me and Ishmael, we looked at each other,
The captain and the first mate looked at each other and then back at the league.
and we each said... "Okay."
Nemo:
And we played the first thing that came to our heads,
Just so happened to be,
The Best Song in the World, it was The Best Song in the World.
Ishmael:
Look into my eyes and it's easy to see
one and one make two, two and one make three,
it was destiny.
Nemo and Ishmael:
Once every hundred-thousand years or so,
when the sun doth shine and the moon doth glow
and the grass doth grow...
The fire crackled suddenly and the captain continued telling the tale to his intrigued audience.
Nemo:
Needless to say, the beast was stunned.
Whip-crack went his swampy tail!
And the beast was done.
He asked us: they both snorted, causing a snigger from Dorian
be you angels?"
And we said, "Nay. We are but men."
Ishmael: Rock!
Nemo and Ishmael:
Ahh, ahh, ahh-ah-ah,
Ohhh, whoa, ah-whoa-oh!
This is not The Greatest Song in the World, no.
This is just a tribute.
Couldn't remember The Greatest Song in the World, no, no.
This is a tribute, oh, to The Greatest Song in the World,
All right! It was The Greatest Song in the World,
All right! It was the best song the greatest song in the world.
Nemo walked around the group, feeling very into the story.
'And the peculiar thing is this my friends:
the song we sang on that fateful night it didn't actually sound
anything like this SONG!'
He shouted the word into Dorian's ear for sniggering, resulting in laughter from Tom and Alan.
Nemo and Ishmael:
This is just a tribute! You gotta believe me!
And I wish you were there! Just a matter of opinion.
Good God, God lovin',
So surprised to find you can't stop it. All right! All right!
The captain and his mate both bowed and the league applauded.
''What an extraordinary tale Captain.'' Alan remarked, poking the fire a little while Dorian rubbed his finger in his ear. ''It was an odd experience…''
