Favorite Bard Songs

This thread has been terrific and kept me up for a few extra minutes because I had to read it all. Here is a song-spell from my game rules. I haven't put lyrics to all of the song-spells but this one was just so obvious. It's an old song by the Zombies called "She's not There" but the song-spell is "I'm not here."
Well no one told you about me, the way I lied
Well no one told you about me, how many people died
But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know, why should I care
Please don't bother tryin' to find me
I'm not here.
Well you know I'm sneaking past you,
But it won't do you any good.
You won't hear a thing to tell you
And there's nothing here to see
Cause I'm not here.

Here are some more fun ditties I cooked up recently:
based on Michael Jackson's "Heal the Word," here's...
Healing Word
Can be a saving grace
For elf and for human
And every suffering race.
If your friends are dying
I can keep them here with the living
Get them in their place
To fight enemies.
based on Stephen Foster’s "Jeannie with the Light Brown Hair"...
I dream of djinni floating soft through the air
Conjuring illusions to seem not really there.
I see them wafting as the winds gently play,
Threatening a whirlwind to whisk me away.
Many were wishes I wished upon a star.
How they brightly glimmered like a sharp scimitar.
I dream of djinni floating soft through the air
Conjuring illusions to seem not really there.
Enjoy, fellow warrior troubadours!

My play on "The Devil went down to Georgia"
The Lich went down to Jorja
The lich went down to Jorja
He was looking for some souls to steal
He was in a bind, his soul soon to unwind
He needed a new one to heal
When he came across a young church boy
Praying on some beads he wore taught
And the lich rose up on a weather worn stump and said
"Boy let me tell you what":
"Now I guess you didn't know, but I'm stronger than religion too
Now while you scare, with raised up hair
Ill take your soul from you"
"Now you pray well to God, boy, but excuse this Lich's cue
Right on this knol I'll steal your soul
And theres nothing you can do"
The Lad said, "My names Lonny and I've lived free of sin
So our souls are bet, but your gonna regret
Because my devotion always wins"
Lonny rosin up your beads and preach your prayers like shards
Cause a hells broke loose in Jorja and the Lich's pullin your card
But if you win youll save your town from this bastards evil goal
But if you lose, the lich'll steal your soul
The lich rose up above him and said "I've had enough of this show"
And fire blew from his fingetips and he threw it in a row
The lad rolled away to a tree his way as the grass around made a hiss
The lich started chanting rhyming and ranting and it sounded a lil like this
When the lich was finished Lonny said
"You think that you've won
Well I've just begun so let me show you how its done"
"Theres fire on our mountain, run run run
This Lich is standing in your rising sun
Hes striking at me who he calls foe
Show him of the light that we do sow"
The Lich turned his head as he felt a burning beat
And a light most golden tore right through him as if he were a sheet
Lonny said, "now don't come on back or try this stunt again
I done told you once, you son of a witch
I'm the best there's ever been"
"Theres fire on the mountain run run run
This Lich stands in your rising sun
He's striking at me who he calls foe
Show him of the light that we do sow"

I can't say I've ever written a song for my 3.5 bard, I just play things like Van Halen's Eruption when I say he lights that lute up.
I'm no good at making up songs - but here's a few clips of a bard who is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTdv3tunmtU

Legend
I used this in game as the verbal for a Healing Word:
"Mary healed the wounded lamb, wounded lamb, wounded lamb.
Mary healed the wounded lamb, whose fleece was red with blood."
"Mary healed the wounded lamb, wounded lamb, wounded lamb.
Mary healed the wounded lamb, whose fleece was red with blood."
Here's a bard singing about a Wizard's "Feel Good Spells of Adventure"...
