Fatguys Banner - Vert, a tankard Or.

Bop, Bop, Bop, Bop Till You Drop

(by Gorlan of the Red Lands, 1999)
(Tune: "Barbara Ann" by Freddy Frassert [of The Who])

    Chorus:
      Bop, Bop, Bop.
      Bop Till You Drop
      Bop, Bop, Bop.
      Bop Till You Drop
      Bop, Bop, Bop.
      Bop Till You Drop

    Let’s all go bopping
    Until we’re dropping
    In a 3 hour bear pit
    Out in the snow
    They call it Cold Steel
    The cold we won’t feel
    As long as the lines
    Don’t move too slow

    Chorus:

    It’s non stop fighting
    It’s real exciting
    And everyone
    Can get their fill
    And if you get bored
    Fighting with a sword
    Just grab a new type
    And get back in line

    Chorus:

    When the fighting is done
    We’ll feel we’ve all won
    Just because
    We had a chance to fight
    We’ll be drinking and feasting
    The rest of the evening
    And Watch the Dancing girls
    In the Hall

    Chorus:


History. The Story Behind this Song

 Several years ago, Sir Axel used to host a Bear Pit Tournament Called "Bop Till You Drop." This was done in response to those poor fighters who drove all the way to an event, armored up, then got killed in the first round. That is one of the main reasons that Bear Pits are popular. You can get your fill of fighting. Sir Axels last event before he departed for the USA, was Cold Steel. The winter Version of Bop till you Drop. It is held in Winter, when there is still snow on the ground. The tradition has continued. For the last two years, it has been hosted by Martin the Mercenary, A Fat Guy. After the Fighting was over, he held a feast at his house, and there were many call for "Bring out the Dancing Girls." Martin always a gracious host, dressed a few ladies in Fat Guys Tabards and Convinced them to Dance. A good time was had by all.
