The Kobold Song/words

Nothing unusual about that day Some folk at work and some at play Though it certainly didn’t end that way When the kobolds came to town.

I don’t know who spotted them first They sorta came in a giant burst But folks just chuckled “This isn’t the worst!” When the kobolds came to town.

Swinging away with all their might Mongrel kobolds put up a fight Time to clear the town of this crazy blight Of kobolds that came to town

But what they were swinging caught the eye “Ale abuse!” went up the cry! “Today these critters are going to die!” Those kobolds that came to town

Seems the kobolds were making quite merry Swinging those bottles of Winterberry Still, all in all, they weren’t very scary Mongrel kobolds that came to town

They’d take a swig then swing away These mongrel kobolds couldn’t stay We’d have to clear them from the way Nasty kobolds that came to town

So one by one we took them out Some by sword and some by shout And saved the Ale for the end of the bout With the kobolds that wandered the town

What happened next caused much dismay The bottles were fragile and crumbled away And many folk were heard to say… Blast those kobolds that came to town

Shoddy workmanship caused much distress And broken glass made quite a mess But where the Ale’d come from was anyone’s guess Did the kobolds find it in town?

Suspicious thoughts ran wild and free More kobolds joined in the melee “Save one to talk!” was the decree Of the kobolds that came to town

Drunken kobolds wandered the town Drinking the Ale we couldn’t down All we now could do was frown At the kobolds that came to town

Bribery and negotiation Cannot change the situation It’s only leading to frustration! At the kobolds that came to town

Then one of the kobolds did start to speak And his words were rather bleak It made those listening want to shriek At thieving kobolds in our town

“We have crates of this stuff. It good” said he “We need more…” Well it’s not going to be! We don’t share our Winterberry Not with kobolds who raid the town

Interrogations then began To find their Ale was our plan But then that kobold made his stand On why the kobolds came to town

“Now we take your ale and leave” Such boldness we could not believe What trick could he have up his sleeve? That kobold in our town

So while we all stand there arguing “Take it all home!” from that kobold rings Is it possible we heard such a thing? Bold kobold in our town

Wait just a minute.. They wouldn’t try… The cry went up “To the Stone Eye” “Defend the Ale!” was our cry. From the kobolds that came to town

With fear we hurry on our way Race to the bar with no delay They surely cannot get away The kobolds that came to town

At the bar, we ask Byron “How’s the Ale?” That mongrel kobold looks rather pale Replies “They took it all!” and begins to wail Horrible kobolds that came to town

In disbelief we drop our jaws His answer gives us all a pause All our Ale is in the claws Of the kobolds that came to town?

If kobolds want Ale they should have to pay But Byron, that coward, got out of the way He’s really not popular at all today Except with the kobolds that raided the town

A raiding party quickly forms As some at Byron yell and storm “How could you!” “Is this the norm?” Traitor kobold in our town

We travel to the mongrels home And the hallways thoroughly comb Looking for kobolds who possibly roam The drunk kobolds that came from our town

Empty-handed we return There wasn’t much that we did learn We return with great concern Are the kobolds still in town?

Much discussion then ensues About what happened to the booze But we are greeted with the news That kobold is back in town

He’s back in town to tease and taunt And for us his antics flaunt But our ale is what we want From that kobold in our town

We beg and plead to no avail Then we rant and rave and rail At that kobold who laughs and heads down the trail That kobold who came to our town

Back to the Eye and Byron and questions Hopefully he has some suggestions Maybe a place those kobolds did mention The kobolds that came to town

At least there’s still some ale to buy Though that keg on tap will soon go dry It is the last of our ale supply Thanks to kobolds who raided the town

The whole town goes on a buying spree Stocking up on winterberry And complaining drunkenly About the kobolds that came to town

Then the last of the ale has finally sold One wonders what horrors will now unfold The Rest gone dry should be a sight to behold Shame on the kobolds who came to town

Byron says with much chagrin “Nine days ‘til the next shipments in” He shoud’na let those kobolds win The kobolds who came to town

Nine days! Let’s hope he cannot count Please! Someone an expedition mount To bring Ale.. and kobolds to account Those kobolds who came to town

Nine days! How can we e’re survive No one will be left alive! Through soberness we’ll have to strive Because kobolds came to town!

So beware my friends if you should see A kobold enter merrily Give heed and listen to my plea… Keep kobolds from coming to town!
