[QUOTE="Gulla, post: 5605592, member: 4272"] And I think Meepo also deserves a song. (This time I do apologize to Jerry Bock) [B]If I were a Dragon[/B] [I][Meepo sitting on a stone in front of a small Tiamat shrine. Looking down on his 2 Copper Coins] "Dear Tiamat, you made many, many small, poor kobolds. I realize, of course, that it's no shame to be poor. Or a kobold. But it's no great honor either! So, what would have been so terrible if I were big and mighty and had a small fortune?" [/I] ... If I were a Dragon, Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum. All day long I'd biddy biddy bum. If I were a big dragon! Wouldn't have to work hard. Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum. If I were a very very rich, Yidle-diddle-didle-di Dragon. I'd have a big deep lair with rooms by the dozen, High in the summit of a cliff a pile of gold with cells full of slaves below. There would be one huge shaft for flight going up, And one convoluted coming down, And lots of dead ends filled with traps for show. I'd fill my caves with kobolds, goblins and lizard-men to protect my treasure pile. Killing any adventure knight that came. with poison traps and pits and ambush and bows they'd slow them and put their heads on pikes to tell the world don't mess with this Dragon. If I were a Dragon, Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum. All day long I'd biddy biddy bum. If I were a big dragon! Wouldn't have to work hard. Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum. If I were a very very rich, Yidle-diddle-didle-di Dragon. I see my tribe, my Horde, looking like a dragon's slaves With a proper humble stance. Setting traps and worshiping me from fear I see them bullying and bossing all the other tribes through the power of my name Bringing me the spoils that I hold dear! The most important scholars seeking out my wisdom would bow in the dust below Crawling like worms for me "If you please, oh! Meepo..." "Pardon us, oh! Meepo..." Posing problems that would cross a cleric's eyes! And it won't make one bit of difference if I answer right or wrong. Everyone knows Dragons know it all! As a Dragon, I'd have the time that I lack to lay in my lair and count my coins And maybe learn some spells or fly to see If my domain was safe from wizards and trolls and make them pay tribute just to me And that would be the sweetest thing of all. If I were a Dragon, Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum. All day long I'd biddy biddy bum. If I were a big dragon! Wouldn't have to work hard. Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum. Tiamat! so mighty and so old You made me a puny, small kobold Think of all the heavy, shiny gold you'd get if I were a Dragon! [B]And the original (from the movie):[/B] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=244Str11YNA]YouTube - If I Were a Rich Man - Fiddler on the Roof (1971)[/ame] [/QUOTE]
