After Threadfall

This is based on the WW2 song 'the A25 song' largely because I can see a lot of similarities between the seat of the pants fliers of WW1 and WW2 and dragonriders and I suspect some oral tradition survived. If you don't know it, the original song was called 'Dinah' and may also be known as 'I don't mind if I do' but the only reference I could find on youtube was a mangling of the tune by the Irish Rovers

You can google the A25 song but you won't get all the verses which get more and more filled with innuendo as they go along, but one of them gives the sheet music

When Threadfall is over they say it's just sweet

If your dragon's alive and you're still on your feet

But if you are scored then the prospect is grim

If you crash in the lake and the Rider can't swim

We're alive, we're alive

And the Weyrleader's here to make sure we don't skive

There was a young weyrling who thought he knew best

He swore his ideas would show up the rest

But his acrobatics became much less fun

When with all his ideas his straps were undone

We're alive, we're alive

And the Weyrleader's here to make sure we don't skive

Well my best friend and I had been flaming a patch

And we came all through Fall with never a scratch

But our victory roll to the ground was too near

And now I have gravel rash on my right ear

We're alive, we're alive

And the Weyrleader's here to make sure we don't skive
