Tudor Man

(by Lord Gorlan of the Red Lands, 1998)
(Concept from Lord John Perigrin.)
(tune: "Iron Man," by Black Sabbath)

    I -- am -- Tudor man

    He is Tudor man
    Try and out dress him if you can
    His head is covered in curls
    You can tell he wishes he was a girl

    Wearing silk brocade
    Trimmed in animal fur

    Legs in black stockings
    He sure makes one pretty Tu-dur

    He once was a manly man
    Fought in kilt, and never washed a pan
    Guzzled down his whiskey straight
    But one too many sealed his fate.

    He was found by two maidens
    Passed out in the feast hall

    They giggled and decided
    To see if he was regimental

    He woke and under his kilt
    Was a bright Red Ribbon tied to his hilt
    It wasn't what he had hoped to find
    Second place made him loose his mind

    Now he's into high fashion
    Every piece has to match

    He's studying dancing and cooking
    His ego tells him he's now quite a catch

    Now the time is here
    For Tudor man to appear
    Trim made from animal pelts
    Gone are the days he was a Celt

    He no longer drinks whisky
    He's into wines and liqueurs

    Sheep raids are now beneath him
    He's been reborn as a Tudor


History. The Story Behind this Song

 One lord who has a scotish persona will occasionally come to an event in a Tudor outfit, complete with wig. The common shouts when he appears in this fashion is "Tudor Man is here." A one event last year he did pass out and woke up with a Red Ribbon. At double wars XI, one lord started the tune "I am Tudor man." I completed the tune and built it around his split personas.
