A Grand War

(tune: "Scarborough Fair")

Are you going to Pennsic this year?
Nobles, knights, miladies and lords
I'll sing you of the fun we'll have there
For Pennsic is a grand, jolly war

Will you go fighting, and vanquish your foes?
Nobles, knights, miladies and lords
Then join them for a party or two
For Pennsic is a grand, jolly war

Then, will you visit the merchants' fine stores?
Nobles, knights, miladies and lords
And spend much more than you can afford
For Pennsic is a grand, jolly war

Will you join in a bardic circle or two?
Nobles, knights, miladies and lords
And sing till dawn, or till they send us home
For Pennsic is a grand, jolly war

And will you live in comfort this year?
Nobles, knights, miladies and lords
Always dry and warm, with hot showers to spare
If so, you're not at Pennsic this year!

Then will you visit some parties this year?
Nobles, knights, miladies and lords
And drink, and laugh, and fall uphill home
For Pennsic is a grand, jolly war

Then, when Pennsic's over this year
Nobles, knights, miladies and lords
We'll be tired, and poor, and sick of outdoors
But already look forward to Pennsic next year!
