Fafhrd's Hangover

Words: Robert Asprin
Tune: Teddy Bear Picnic
Source: Standing Song Stone Book

If you go out on the streets today, you'd better not go alone.
Do not go out on the streets today, it's safer to stay at home!
The least excuse that ever there was
Today will mean a challenge because,
From drink last night, old Fafhrd is quite hung-o-ver!
Hungover barbarian! You must beware of him
He's certainly not himself today!
If you see him, better run,
'Cause you'll get killed if you get in his way.
He is in a cloud of gloom, so give him lots of room,
And better not come too near!
You gentle folk who value your life, better stay at home tonight,
'Cause Fafhrd's hun-over out to HERE!
So, if you go out on the streets today, you'd better go with a guard;
There's lots of pleasanter ways to die than be crushed by a ton of lard!
If you pretend my mountainous friend
Is not a threat, you'll come to your end;
For Fafhrd's quite prepared for a fight,
He'd like to pound you into the ground,
His head and brain, in terrible pain,
From drink last night, old Fafhrd is quite...hung-o-ver.
