We will have a mighty Party It was good enough for Sappho
In the honor of Astarte With her lady on her lap-o
Grab your chiton - don't be tardy She put Lesbos on the map-o
'Cause she's good enough for me! With her pagan poetry!
Shall we sing a verse for Venus, Well the Christians all are humming
Of the Gods she is the meanest, Cause they say their God is coming,
Cause she bit me on my...elbow Our God came three times this evening
And it's good enough for me. And that's good enough for me.

IMPERIUM COMPOUND
(Tune: "Lily the Pink")
Now here's a story, a little bit gory,
A little bit happy, a little bit sad.
About a drink called Imperium Compound
And how the SCA's been had! (1)
Chorus: Oh we think, we think, we think,
The King is a fink, a fink, a fink,
A figure of respectability
Rules the Kingdom thru Imperium Compound
The results are plain to see!
Duke Treegirtsea, was known for his courtesy,
And his fighting prowess was well-renowned
Took a thimble of Imperium Compound
And the poor Duke nearly drowned! (2)
Words with Andy, you never should bandy
He is strong enough to kill a moose
He drinks copious Imperium Compound
But he can't take Jungle Juice! (2)

Has no attributes of which to sing
Polite and formal, incredibly normal,

Dipped his blade in Imperium Compound

And he shrank right to the floor! //still singing!//

And his Horde, which never seems to leave!
They just smile at Imperium Compound,
I wonder what is up his sleeve? //wheet - thunk!//

The Khan is a fink, a fink, a fink,
A figure of incredibility
Rules the Horde with Ghengis Compound
With results that you can never see!
Robert Asprin, pulled many a fast one
On the Kingdom and its' Kings,
So we all drank Imperium Compound
Now we can stand the songs he sings! //oh, yeah?// (4)

And the Board, their Great Senilities!

Though a mere Knight, he showed his great might
Now he's our curly-headed King!
AltChorus: Oh we think, we think, we think,
The King is a fink, a fink, a fink,
A figure of delectability!
Combs his hair with Imperium Compound
The results are plain to see!
Said Kevin Perigrynne, I've really got to win
My fighting poem is three years old today
Rubbed his pinions with Imperium Compound
And brought an old grey wolf to bay!
Kevin Perigrynne, they told him "You'll never win!"
You're just a falcon with a broken wing
Rubbed his elbow with Imperium Compound
Even a cripple can be King! (11)

The figure of Supreme Authority!

And in its' difference lies its' fall from grace

A little bit happy, a little bit sad.
About a drink called Imperium Compound
And how the SCA's been had!
Chorus: Oh we think, we think, we think,
The King is a fink, a fink, a fink,

Subverting the Kingdoms from underneath!
Have no use for Imperium Compound
