[QUOTE="Piperken, post: 9450687, member: 7047091"] Three suggestions: Look up lyrics for "Joxer the Mighty," adjust name & anything between the end rhymes to suit the situation. Traditional lays & ballads about women dressing as [I]Highwaymen[/I], enjoyed a brief period of popularity; lyrics for these can be found as well. Last, this song has countless variants, but I am partial lyrics wise to this version: [MEDIA=youtube]Uy6jvh9UtAI[/MEDIA] [SPOILER="Lyrics"] Sir Eglamore that valiant Knight With his fa, la, lanctree down dillie, He fetched his sword and he went to fight With his fa la lanctre, &c. As he went over hill and dale All cloathed in his Coat of Male, With his fa la lanctre, &c. A huge great Dragon leapt out of his Den With his fa la lanctre, &c. Which had killed the Lord knows how many men With his fa la lanctre, &c. But when he saw Sir Eglamore Good lack had you seen how this Dragon did roare With his fa la lanctre. &c. This Dragon he had a plaguy hide With his fa la lanctre, &c. Which could both sword and spear abide With his fa la lanctre, &c. He could not enter with hacks and cuts Which vext the Knight to his very hearts blood and guts With his fa la lanctre, &c. But now as the Knight in choler did burn With his fa la lanctre, &c. He owed the Dragon a shrew'd good turn With his fa la lanctre, &c. In at his mouth the Sword he bent, The hilt appear'd at his fundament, With his fa la, &c. Then the Dragon like a coward began to fly With his fa la lanctre, &c .Unto his Den that was hard by With his fa la lanctre, &c. And there he laid him down and roar'd The Knight was vexed for his Sword With a fa la lanctre, &c. When all this was done, to the Alehouse he went With his fa la lanctre, &c. And by and by his tuppence he spent With his fa la lanctre, &c. For he was so hot with tuging with the Dragon That nothing would quench him but a whole Flagon. With his fa la lanctre, &c. Now God preserve our King and Queen, With his fa la lanctre, &c. And eke in London may be seen, with his fa la lanctre, &c. As many Knights and as many more, And all so good as Sir Eglamore! With his fa la langtre down dillie.[/SPOILER] [/QUOTE]
