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
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
They gave a silver guard to a man who could swing a stick

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
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.

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
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
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
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.

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.

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.
