A/N: This one's a Mariofied version of "My Lullaby", the villain song from Disney's The Lion King II: Simba's Pride. It is mainly sung by Bowser's wife (who's named Bowselta in my fanon), meaning she's filling Zira's role from the movie, while Junior is Nuka and the other seven Koopalings get Vitani's lines. I wrote this by request for my brother (as an accompaniment to his Bowserfied "Be Prepared", from the first Lion King), and even sung the first four stanzas for a YouTube promo he made. I suck at singing, however, so no way am I giving you directions on how to find the video!
The Queen's Lullaby
Bowselta: Rest, my weary Bowser
Let your dreams unfurl
Once Mario's dead and gone
You will rule the world
We've been exiled, persecuted
Left in darkness with no light
When I think of what Mario did
It makes me wanna fight
But behind the scenes I'm working
So my kids don't fall depressed
And although my kingdom's rotting
I make sure we get our rest
The sound of Mario's dying gasp
His princess squealing in my grasp
His coward brother's mournful cry
That's my lullaby
Game Overs, I've tried forgetting
Retcons, I could forgive
Trouble is Nintendo's petty
So in the fanon I must live
Junior: So you'll find a canon character who'll chase Mario up a tree
Bowselta: Oh the screenshots will be bloody, but that kinda works for me
The melody of 8-Bit growls
A counterpoint of life-loss howls
A symphony of death, oh my!
That's my lullaby
Bowser's gone, but Dry Bones' still around
So I shouldn't be so mad
Cause he'll rise again a killer
Reborn lust for being bad
Junior: Forget you lot of has-beens!
Uhhh- I mean, beloved Koopalings
Koopalings: Once Mario's dead and gone
Bowselta: We will rule the world!
The pounding of the drums of war
The thrill of Bowser's mighty roar
Junior: The joy of vengeance
Koopalings: Testify!
Bowselta: I can hear the cheering
All kids: Bowser! What a guy!
Bowselta: Payback time is nearing
And then our flag will fly
Against that bright blue sky
That's my lullaby!
