What's Next?

(by Lord Gorlan of the Red Lands, 1998)
(Tune: "Who's Next?" by Tom Lehrer)

    First we started the fire with our own wood
    And it got burning really good
    But we didn't bring enough, we soon learned
    So we looked around for what else would burn

    (Chorus:)
    What's next? What next can we put on the fire
    We want to make the flames go higher and higher
    We fought all the battles, We've taken the town
    But we wont feel compete, till it's burned to the ground

    (Alternate chorus just:)
    What's Next?

    Well all the stray branches were the first to go
    Some chopped up pallets increased the glow
    We added in all the Coleman fuel
    And a shield someone left leaning on a stool

    Chorus:

    Then we scrounged up a cot or two
    and they went up in flames of blue
    There was a picnic table right next door
    In it went and the fire roared

    Chorus:

    There was a pink pavilion we couldn't stand
    So we threw it in and it burned real grand
    A couple merchants booths were just laying around
    So in they went and they burned real sound

    Chorus:

    We found some archer's arrows and bows
    In they went and the fire glowed
    Then we threw in the songbooks one by one
    But we still needed more when they were done

    Chorus:

    Well the feast was done, so we got the chairs
    We chopped them up amid the stares
    Then the tables went next, and then constable came
    But we just added both into the flame

    Chorus:


History. The Story Behind this Song

 As has been mentioned before, Fat Guys tend to like fires. I think the greatest example of self control I've ever seen was at Double Wars a few years ago. There was a huge stack of wood ten feet high and 50 yards long just off the fighting fields. When myself, Little Helmut and Mathew found it while looking for fire wood, we all concluded that it would make a fire that could be seen from the moon. It was hard but we didn't light it up. (But we thought about it).
