Save a Knight, Ride a Squire


Save a Knight, Ride a Squire 
Temair ingen Muiredaich / Ann A. Straut
Tune: Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy

Dum de de dum, de de dum, de de dum, de de da da.
Dum de de dum, de de dum, de de dum, de da da, la la la.

Well, I walk into the list swinging my polearm for the hills.
Try to kill ‘cause it thrills when I hear my rattan hit your grille.
An' I get to bye a double round in Crown an' everybody's getting down,
An' this Kingdom ain't never gonna be the same.

'Cause I power up my shots an' I rhino-hide your tourney.
I make a lot of noise 'cause I’m really on a journey.
Getting’ noticed by the Chiv, just trying to get higher.
And the babes say: "Save a knight, ride a squire."
Everybody says: "Save a knight, ride a squire."

Well, I only give a dang about fighting: I'm swinging an' bling-blinging,
While other fighters are falling down!
An' I wouldn't trade my squire belt or my silver chain for your laurel vain, or your pelican:
I'm the only fighter left in this town.

An' I power up my shots an' I rhino-hide your tourney.
I make a lot of noise 'cause I’m really on a journey.
Getting’ noticed by the Chiv, just trying to get higher.
And the babes say: "Save a knight, ride a squire."
Everybody says: "Save a knight, ride a squire."

(Instrumental break)

"Well, I'm a protégé."
I heard her say on the way back from melee,
As I was gettin' buzzed on suds, at some back country event.
We were flyin' high, fine as wine,
Having ourselves a “No Shit” time
An' I was going, just about as far as she'd let me go.
But her evaluation of my squire reputation
Had me beggin' for salvation all night long.
So I took her out to get drunker,
Introduced her to my squire brothers
An' sang her every Scadian filk song I could think of.
An' then I scored.

An' I power up my shots an' I rhino-hide your tourney.
I make a lot of noise 'cause I’m really on a journey.
Getting’ noticed by the Chiv, just trying to get higher.
And the babes say: "Save a knight, ride a squire."
Everybody says: "Save a knight, ride a squire."

What? What?
"Save a knight, ride a squire."
Everybody says: "Save a knight, ride a squire."
