The Ballad of Timmain and Ray

   G        C           G            D
As I walked out in the halls of the Palace,
   G          C            G          D
As I walked around in the Palace one day;
    G           C             G             D
I spied an old High One all wrapped up in wrapstuff,
      G             C            D            G
All wrapped up in wrapstuff and rapping with Ray... ek.

"I see by your wrapstuff that you are a High One
 And out of that wrapstuff extend pointy ears;
 They must come in handy for hanging up pretzels
 When both hands are needed to carry two beers."

"Oh bring me my shield of burning gold,
 Bring me my arrows of desire.
 And bring me a crane and a steamshovel quickly
 To hold up the Scroll in case I should tire."

"Oh Timmain, shape-changer, your people are hungry,
 The fish are all gone from the rivers nearby.
 See how the Trolls and the humans fillet them;
 Timmain, oh Timmain, can you watch them fry?

"O say, can you see by the dawn's early light
 The faraway ocean to which you must go?
 You can fly through the air on the birds that we rule,
 Crying, 'Cockles and mussels, alive, alive o!'"

"Oh karma chaemeleon, you come and go,
 But all of this wrapstuff makes walking a chore.
 I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping;
 You can't get good help from the Trolls anymore."
