The tunnelers' song.
« on: April 01, 2008, 04:26:00 am »

O.. While I was walking in the merrie countrie,
Through the hills all green and high,
I came to a town made of tunnels and holes,
And nary a house did I spy.

They work all day with their axes and picks,
They live in their excavated caves!
They never have need of the landlubber's sticks
Which do no better for age.

Oh, there's scree and there's shale and granite and gneiss,
There's tungsten and iron and gold!
There's soil that's pinker than your darling's ass!
Oh, tunneling never gets old!

What ho, the tunnelers!
Dee da diddly-um ta tum ta tee,
What ho, the tunneling song!
Diddly-um tee ta!

Sheesh, what happened to "hey-ho"?

(Awesome song, Turnpike.)

Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do.
I'm half crazy all for the love of you.
It won't be a stylish marriage,
I can't afford a carriage
But you will look sweet upon the seat
of a bicycle built for two.

About the gold song: since we're using the dwarf tongue, it makes better sense to say, nay, sing:

Datan Datan Datan Datan,
Datan Datan Datan Datan,
Datan Datan Datan Datan,
Datan Datan Datan Datan.

Datan? That's almost a human song. Probably heard a different song and mispronounced it.
