Thread Name: Lyr Add: All around my hat (filk)
Subject: All around my hat (filk)
Hi all :) Was feeling inspired tonight and remembered a fragment of a filk in the DB (a chorus for All Around My Hat.) Can't remember who wrote it but here are the verses I wrote to go with it. If you have any, feel free to post em!

All Around My Hat

Ch: All around my hat, I will wear the green willow
All around my hat, for a twelvemonth and a day,
And if anyone should ask me the reason why I'm wearing it
It's my bloody willow and my bloody hat


So fare thee well cold Winter and fare thee well cold frost
Nothing have I gained and nothing will I have lost
From love and its ilk, I surely do stay away
You're a fine and charming laddie, run along, go and play


The other day I bought me a fine diamond ring
Cause I'm not waiting on a guy to buy me anything
And if he should e'er offer, chances are I'll smile and say
You're a fine and charming laddie, run along, go and play


It's a quarter pound of reasons and a half a pound of sense
A large sprig of thyme and a bunch of prudence
You mix them all together and all I will ever say:
You're a fine and charming laddie, run along, go and play


*note:* Not sure what the general opinion of filks is but it's my way of making a way overplayed song palatable...at least to me..
