6 Beer Court In Drachenwald

(By Lord Gorlan of the Redlands)
(Loosely to the tune of the Beach Boys "Little Honda (1st gear)/ Surfin City)

I attended a 6 beer court in Drachenwald one night
6 beer court in Drachenwald
It seemed to go forever and looked like it had no end in site
6 beer court in Drachenwald
But I was sitting with the Fat Guys and they knew just what to do
6 beer court in Drachenwald
They were well stocked with provisions and several cases of Brew
6 beer court in Drachenwald

Chorus:

    1st beer goes down light
    2nd beer is just right
    3rd beer you're feelin tight
    at a long court
    4th beer you can't see
    5th beer find a tree
    6th beer you just pee
    at a long court

They started out with thanks to the autocrat for all that was done
6 beer court in Drachenwald
And thanks to the marshals for a tourney that was well run
6 beer court in Drachenwald
The water bearers and chiurgens got called up too
6 beer court in Drachenwald
And before I knew it, my first beer was all through
6 beer court in Drachenwald

    Chorus
Some folks presented gifts to butter up the King and queen
6 beer court in Drachenwald
The groveling was awful, I sure you know just what I mean
6 beer court in Drachenwald
Then they presented AOAs to create some Lord and Ladies too
6 beer court in Drachenwald
And again before I knew it my second beer was through
6 beer court in Drachenwald

    Chorus
They gave a silver guard to a man who could swing a stick
6 beer court in Drachenwald
And linquest ring went to a gentil who's tounge was slick
6 beer court in Drachenwald
And to some artisans they presented a panache or two
6 beer court in Drachenwald
and sure enough my third beer was also through
6 beer court in Drachenwald

    Chorus
Next came a grant of arms, to make a Right, Honorable Lord
6 beer court in Drachenwald
You could that the populous was starting to get very Bored.
6 beer court in Drachenwald
A black guard fell asleep and almost got the king with his spear.
6 beer court in Drachenwald
When all got back to normal I finished off my 4th beer.
6 beer court in Drachenwald

    Chorus
They then called up a Lady and awarded her the Dragon's Steel
6 beer court in Drachenwald
Because in swishy-pokey, she could bring all others to heel.
6 beer court in Drachenwald
They inducted a new member into the Order of Albinon
6 beer court in Drachenwald
And before I knew it, I found my 5th beer was gone.
6 beer court in Drachenwald

    Chorus
Finally they announced that they would create some new peers
6 beer court in Drachenwald
I was starting to get worried, because the cooler was almost out of beers
6 beer court in Drachenwald
They made a Knight, and Laurel and a Pelican too.
6 beer court in Drachenwald
And when they closed court, I'd just finished off my 6th brew.
6 beer court in Drachenwald

    Chorus
If you live in Drachenwald there's something that you must do
6 beer court in Drachenwald
When attending court, be sure to stock plenty of brew.
6 beer court in Drachenwald
Because even if you are well lit at the time that court begins
6 beer court in Drachenwald
If do not plan ahead, you'll be sober by the time it ends.
6 beer court in Drachenwald

    Chorus

History. The Story Behind this Song

 Most scadians have at one time or another attended a "Court that would not end." At double wars last year , I had asked King Elffin, "Is this going to be a 2, 3, or 4 beer court?" He replied that it was going to be at least a Six. While it was a long court, I was only half way through my 4th beer by the time it ended. 6 Beer Court indeed! But it got me to thinking about a a Six Beer Court. Later, when I heard "Little Honda" on the Radio, the chorus and title fell into place. The awards and Honors listed are ones given out in Drachenwald.
