Bugs on the Baroness

Words by Ioseph of Locksley
To the tune of "Waltzing Matilda," music by Marie Cowan

D                F#m    Bm             G
Once there was a Barony howling in the wilderness,
D                               A7            D
Nestled in the valley where the river doesn't flow,
        D                 F#m          Bm             G
And the folks were driven buggy by the insects in the revel hall,
      D                        A7           D
Authenticity is wonderful, but this doesn't go.


Chorus (after every verse):
      D                     G
     "Bugs on the Baroness, bugs on the Baroness!"
     D                         A             A7
     That was the cry that you heard all the day,
     A       D                 F#7        Bm         G
     And the scratching can be heard from Ysgithr to Ered Sul,
     D                     A7        D
     Why did we come here? Let's go away.


See them all a scratching, nestled in their armor tight,
The fleas have a melee team that's challenging the field.
Call Truly Nolen! Someone's gotta help us out.
The crabs are nesting in our helms but we'll never yield.

Dawn comes a-breaking, the bugs have won the Coronet;
Flea-infested Conan-clones in piles upon the lawn.
Where is the Barony? The bugs have eaten everyone;
Termites got the stick-jocks, and all their sticks are gone.
