I Fought Duke Jade and Duke Jade Won

(by Lord Gorlan of the Red Lands, 1998)
(Tune: "I Fought the Law and the Law Won" by )

    I went and entered the Fat Guy Beer Pit
    I fought Duke Jade and Duke Jade won
    I fought Duke Jade and Duke Jade won

    There was beer to win and I wanted it
    I fought Duke Jade and Duke Jade won
    I fought Duke Jade and Duke Jade won

    I am real good fighter, I can swing a stick
    I put most foes in their place
    But Jade's toughest man I've ever faced
    I fought Duke Jade and Duke Jade won
    I fought Duke Jade and Duke Jade won

    It looks like I won't get any Beer
    I fought Duke Jade and Duke Jade won
    I fought Duke Jade and Duke Jade won

    I sure hope that he doesn't enter next year
    I fought Duke Jade and Duke Jade won
    I fought Duke Jade and Duke Jade won

    The marshals gave him a real hard time
    Calling him "Nine times King of the West"
    And even on his knees he can kill the rest
    I fought Duke Jade and Duke Jade won
    I fought Duke Jade and Duke Jade won

    At the end I'm covered with "Jade Bites"
    I fought Duke Jade and Duke Jade won
    I fought Duke Jade and Duke Jade won

    In three hours he won over 80 fights
    I fought Duke Jade and Duke Jade won
    I fought Duke Jade and Duke Jade won

    But after he won the that pile of beer
    His Grace decided to share
    Its was guzzled down except the Budweiser
    I fought Duke Jade and Duke Jade won
    I fought Duke Jade and Duke Jade won

History. The Story Behind this Song

 At the Fat Guys Beer Pit at Double Wars 1998, Duke Jade was the winner by a large margin. During the tourney, the Duke Elffin teased him without mercy. The Budweiser was partly my fault. Myself and Lord Goetz drove together up to the Event. After we had packed the car, we saw that we still had some room for more beer. I had about 40 Liters of good German Beer, But this was Sweden we were going to. Beer is expensive up there. So Goetz and myself stopped at a shopette on the way. There selection was pretty poor. So we thought lets get some American beer(BUD). It may be a novelty up there. So we stacked six packs every place we could fit in. About another 4 cases. But it didn't go over well. After all the beer in the beer pit was consumed, only the Bud remained.
