I am looking for the lyrics to this song. It is done to the tune of the Irish Washer Woman. I used to sing it at Ren Faires but have lost the lyrics.

It is on a Filk website, which I once bookmarked, but lost it when I lost some bookmarks a year ago. I printed out a copy, but you could probably also find it with a search on www.dogpile.com.

Do Virgins Taste Better?
(An Old Cliche' Revisited)
Words by: R. Farran Tune: The Irish Washerwoman

G
A dragon has come to our village today.

D7
We've asked him to leave, but he won't go away.

G
Now he's talked to our king and they worked out a deal.

D7 G
No homes will he burn and no crops will he steal.

Now there is but one catch, we dislike it a bunch.
Twice a year he invites him a virgin to lunch.
Well, we've no other choice, so the deal we'll respect.
But we can't help but wonder and pause to reflect.

Chorus :

Do virgins taste better than those who are not?
Are they salty, or sweeter, more juicy or what?
Do you savor them slowly? Gulp them down on the spot?
Do virgins taste better than those who are not?

Now we'd like to be shed you, and many have tried.
But no one can get through your thick scaly hide.
We hope that some day, some brave knight will come by.
'Cause we can't wait around 'til you're too fat to fly.

Now you have such good taste in your women for sure,
They always are pretty, they always are pure.
But your notion of dining, it makes us all flinch,
For your favorite entree is barbecued wench. Chorus

Now we've found a solution, it works out so neat,
If you insist on nothing but virgins to eat.
No more will our number ever grow small,
We'll simply make sure there's no virgins at all! Chorus

Little did you know when you posted this thread that you gave me the excuse to retell a tale I first heard in Cardiff in the 1960s:
The scene a lecture on Observation in Forensic Medicine.
Lecturer (in rich S.Wales Valleys voice):Today's lecture is about observation in forensic medicine. I have three samples of urine here: The first is from a 13-year old virgin from Roath, we had trouble finding one. You'll see if you dip your finger in like this and taste: that it is slightly sweet to the taste. The second is from a more experienced married woman from Llanishen: that is not so sweet to the taste and is slightly darker. The third is from a sixty year old whore from Splott. You can see it is very dark and very bitter to the taste. Now I'll pass the samples round for you all to try.
Students look, taste, gag, spit, spew, hubbub, hubbub.
When order is restored the lecturer says:
Today's lecture was about observation. If you'd watched carefully you would have seen I dipped the first finger in but licked the second finger!
Works better with actions! Tara a bit, each,
Rtz
