I'm In Love With A Pelican
(Tune: "I'm All Shook Up" by Elvis Presley)
By Gorlan of the Red Lands, 1998
I met a lady just other day
Never knew a lady could make me feel this way
She may be large, but she makes me feel like a man
I'm in Love ---- with a Pelican
a HMM , a HMM, a HEY-Hey, Yea
The only problem is she don't have time
She's a saving the known world
Cause That's her line
She really shines
She's at her best
When she's cleaning up a political mess
To get her attention, I have to wait in line
But when get together, then the wait was fine
Some think she is strange, but I don't give a damn
I'm in Love ---- with a Pelican
a HMM , a HMM, a HEY-Hey, Yea
Some Lords want just a lady for show
But that's not me, I'll have you know
She's sharp as nails
She's smart as can be
I tell you she's the only lady for me
She may be bossy, She may be a nag
But I tell you folks, I'm a lucky Lad
I don't have to think, she always has a plan
I'm in love ---- with a Pelican
a HMM , a HMM, a HEY-Hey, Yea
(Final Verse to The tune: "Where Oh Where has my Puppy Dog
Gone")
Oh where oh where has my Pelican gone
Oh where oh where can she be
Since she's been a peer,
She's never at home
Oh where oh where can she be.
The Story Behind this Song
Based on an old joke that goes "You know you're in the SCA when your
co-workers think your crazy because you told them that you fell in love
with a Pelican over the weekend." With that joke in the back of my mind, I
heard "All Shook Up" on the radio and it fell in place. The last verse was
another work in progress, that just didn't further. I thought it would make
a great ending.
