Isn't it OBVIOUS! Imperium Compound.
It's an old song I first heard in the Middle, it's got a few Atlantian
verses, maybe it's time for more?.
(Sorry for the broken lines, this is as I got it.)
IMPERIUM COMPOUND (SONGS6.TXT)
(Tune: "Lily the Pink")
(1) Now here's a story, a little bit gory,
A little bit happy, a little bit sad.
About a drink called Imperium Compound
And how the SCA's been had! (1)
Chorus: Oh we think, we think, we think,
The King is a fink, a fink, a fink,
A figure of respectability
Rules the Kingdom thru Imperium Compound
The results are plain to see!
Duke Treegirtsea, was known for his courtesy,
And his fighting prowess was well-renowned
Took a thimble of Imperium Compound
ely bald! //and married!// (1)
There was Roland, he wrote with a slow hand
But in what he writes he does take pride
Dipped his quill in Imperium Compound
And took Wandor for a ride! //for money!// (2)
Azarael, a melodious fellow
Sings a song both sweet and terse,
After drinking Imperium Compound,
He gets verse and verse and verse!
(10) Hakan Redbeard, we thought him a bit wierd,
We thought Vikings all were six foot four,
Bathed his beard in Imperium Compound
And he shrank right to the floor! //still singing!//
2
After Hakan, we sing of the KaKhan,
And his Horde, which never seems to leave!
They just smile at Imperium Compound,
I wonder what is up his sleeve? //wheet - thunk!//
AltChorus: Oh, we think, we think, we think,
The Khan is a fink, a fink, a fink,
A figure of incredibility
Rules the Horde with Ghengis Compound
With results that you can never see!
Robert Asprin, pulled many a fast one
On the Kingdom and its' Kings,
So we all drank Imperium Compound
Now we can stand the songs he sings! //oh, yeah?// (4)
There was Rolac, some thought him a Polack,
But he was a Scot, you see,
He took treatments of Imperium Compound,
Now he's as wise as you or me! //not likely!// (1)
Ol' Duke Siggie, a West Coast biggie,
Didn't know enough for his own good!
Threw a knife at Yang the Nauseating,
And escaped with Brotherhood! (2)
Kenneth of Cheviot, I haven't quite rhymed yet,
But he has a fair and roving eye,
When imbibing Imperium Compound
He is never, ever, ever, shy! (2)
Mongol Hordemen, those free-living swordsmen
Subverting the Kingdoms from underneath!
Have no use for Imperium Compound
Except perhaps to brush their teeth!
AltChorus: Oh we fink, we fink, we fink,
The Khan and the Kink, the Kink, the Kink,
And the Board, their Great Senilities!
The Western Irgun, drinks Imperium Compound
And we're BACK, with results you'll see! (13)

Sought only for love and peace,
Took a drink of Imperium Compound
Now you'll find him in the trees!

Like a tyrant he would be
Stole a drink of Imperium Compound
So much for MidRealm Heraldry!

He was given Imperium Compound
And pronounced it was too damn weak!

Took a drink of Imperium Compound
Now he's horny day and night!

He thought Rivengut was just too sweet
So we gave him Imperium Compound
Now he cannot find his feet!
Lady Laurel, with Authority Royal,
Passes and rejects our heraldry
She needs a swig of Imperium Compound
Then perhaps she'd deign to talk to me!
Kevin Perigrynne, we hoped that he'd win,
When he made Duke William's helmet ring
Though a mere Knight, he showed his great might
Now he's our curly-headed King!
AltChorus: Oh we think, we think, we think,
The King is a fink, a fink, a fink,
A figure of delectability!
Combs his hair with Imperium Compound
The results are plain to see!
Said Kevin Perigrynne, I've really got to win
My fighting poem is three years old today
Rubbed his pinions with Imperium Compound
And brought an old grey wolf to bay!
(30) Kevin Perigrynne, they told him "You'll never win!"
You're just a falcon with a broken wing
Rubbed his elbow with Imperium Compound
Even a cripple can be King! (11)

To turn a social wrong into a Right
Proved her point with Imperium Compound
And showed that Cheshire Cats can fight! //and scratch//

Beneath a mop of flashy golden hair
He rakes and he boozes, but it's Compound he uses
When he runs out of savoir faire! (6)

And another con they tried to swing
Now the BoD drinks Imperium Compound
So we no longer need a King! (7)

The figure of Supreme Authority!
And if we O.D.'d on Imperium Compund

And he has enough to last for years and years! (13)

And it works the best when it is underground!

They're the ones that BREW Imperium Compound! (13)

But they gave out Imperium Compound,
And a toga party blew it all to hell! (13)

The savior of the human ra-aa-ace.
