Subject: Lyr Add: fun parody of The Merry Huntsmen
I'm in a hurry, so here's my parody of an old hunting song that was asked about with the words "with a ran tan tan and a jimmy jimmy jan.
It's time for me to get on the singaround.
1) We are the mer-ry hunts-men who love to chase the fox. We love to chase bold Rey-nard a-mong the hills and rocks.
CHORUS: With a ran tan tan and a jim-my jim-my jan all o'er the mer-ry downs we ran. With a ran tan tan and a chev-y, chev-y chase, through fal-low field and sog-gy place, with me oo-gle oo-gle oo-gle on the bu-gle horn it's through the woods we go. 2) We thought we saw bold Rey-nard a-res-ting on a wall. 'Twas just a gin-ger tom-cat, with fluff-y tail and all. CHORUS
) We thought we saw bold Rey-nard as si-lent as he will. 'Twas Mis-tress Ma-ther's pump-kin pie a-cooling on the sill. CHORUS
4) And next we saw bold Rey-nard a-speed-ing through the scene. 'Twas just a Mor-ris Mi-nor re-paint-ed tan-ger-ine. CHORUS
5) "I spy a flash of o-range!" cried Mas-ter John Mc-Call. Twas Stel-la d'Or-o li-lies out-side the cit-y hall. CHORUS
6) Be-hold a glimpse of orange/and black be-side the pas-ture gate: a Yan-kee foot-ball hel-met from Ok-la-ho-ma State. CHORUS
7)The sun is low, our mounts have tired, the day grows chill/and drear. Let us pur-sue a diff'rent glow: a fire-place and a beer. CHORUS
