The Burning Tent

Lyrics
[Spoken] The chorus is very simple [Chorus] Lullay, lullay, lullay, lullay, the fire hath burned my tent away [Verse 1] Upon the Ides of Februar When Staghold House had come to War The night being cold, a maiden sent A propane heater into her tent [Chorus] Lullay, lullay, lullay, lullay, the fire hath burned my tent away [Verse 2] The heater sat, its makers to thank Upon a full five-gallon tank When half the camp had gone to bed The fuel-line cracked, and the propane bled [Chorus] Lullay, lullay, lullay, lullay, the fire hath burned my tent away [Verse 3] The house-dog barked, the maiden woke To see low flames and smell the smoke She threw her cloak upon the break And shouted loud the camp to wake Eeeeee! [Chorus] Lullay, lullay, lullay, lullay, the fire hath burned my tent away [Verse 4] Lord Etienne woke to smoke and fog He opened the tent and he threw out the dog He seized his pants, he seized the maid And fast tracks for the door he laid [Chorus] Lullay, lullay, lullay, lullay, the fire hath burned my tent away [Verse 5] Lord Colin came a-running then He seized both maid and Lord Etienne He heaved them both clear of the fray They landed twenty-odd yards away [Spoken] Did I mention, this guy's the house champion [Chorus] Lullay, lullay, lullay, lullay, the fire hath burned my tent away [Verse 6] Lord Mordaryn came running, three sheets to the wind He saw the fire, and plunged straight in The propane tank began to cough He seized the nozzle and turned the thing off [Chorus] Lullay, lullay, lullay, lullay, the fire hath burned my tent away [Verse 7] By then the household had gathered 'round A dozen extinguishers hosed the fire down And naught but fumes were left of the flame By the time that the firemen came [Chorus] Lullay, lullay, lullay, lullay, the fire hath burned my tent away [Bridge] [Verse 8] Lord Mordaryn suffered no worse than a cough The hair on Lord Colin's arms was scorched off Some blisters few had Lord Etienne And even the dog came home again [Chorus] Lullay, lullay, lullay, lullay, the fire hath burned my tent away Lullay, lullay, lullay, lullay, the fire hath burned my tent away
