"Dwarven Drinking Song" by Adrian H. Wood

SF&F Picture 3 out of 17 by Adrian H. Wood

I wrote this when I came back (more than sightly tipsy) late one night from the pub, so this isn't one to be taken too seriously haha!

A popular dwarven pub song where each chorus the drinks are downed. If you're still sitting after the last chorus (well done), the song starts again until there's no more dwarves left!

Dwarven Drinking Song

Gather thee dwarves, there’s cause for a bash
Tap all caskets and find us your stash
Who calls the round? Whose wallet is heavy?
How many pints can this tummy here levy?

Beer, cider, spirits and ales
Listen to the drunk dwarf tell his tall tales
Loosen your belts, cups in the air
The liquor flows free and the barrels won’t care

And all call:
O, ho, finish in one
Down, down
Until it’s all gone!

Hoorah!

Pour another cup, mine appears to be dry
Don’t say there’s no more or a dwarf might cry
All sing along now and sway side to side
No single voice is too ugly to hide

Cheer all ye up, no reason to look grim
There’s no need for dwarven waistlines to be slim
Never mind the weak-stomached one’s snore
Full round bellies make grave spirits soar!

And all call:
O, ho, finish in one
Down, down
Until it’s all gone!

Hoorah!

By Brodon’s beard, another two glasses
Didn’t those bosoms just grow on them lasses?
Sweet lady friend mine, won’t you join me?
My lap is empty and the brandy’s for free

Sorry love, didn’t mean to be rude
No telling the stories when a dwarf’s in the mood
But truth be told I’d not ever chose you
Over a pint of my sweet sacred brew

And all call:
O, ho, finish in one
Down, down
Until it’s all gone!

Hoorah!

Was that a pink elephant that just flew past?
Funny the shadows that cider kegs cast!
Pardon that noise, didn’t mean to offend
There’s no hic-up a bloody good belch won’t mend

Laughing eyes wat’ry and heads a’ swimming
Look at your red nose dwarf! And stop that grinning!
We’ll stack them mugs unto the ceiling
Of their seats the dwarves are keeling

And all call:
O, ho, finish in one
Down, down
Until it’s all gone!

Hoorah!

5 Jun 2004	E Purington	Loading... Ah drinking songs, brings me back to the days...Wait hold on, that was just last Christmas...heh heh no actually, never been drunk meself, but every Christmas my family gets drunk and well I think I will teach them this song...Great job! It was kind of like 99 bottles of beer but a billion times less annoying Lovely lovely brilliance! Cheers thanks a lot Adrian H. Wood replies: "You never get drunk? Wow falls over in shock goes green with envy I wish I was that good. Unless you have a family of dwarves I wouldn't recommend teaching them this song though, haha. Although it could certainly make for some amusing stories "
5 Jun 2004	Natalie Beckwith, the ungotten	Loading... Good song good song, nothing more fun than rounding yup aq couple charaters anbd making them get drunk together. Adrian H. Wood replies: "Indeed indeed... flashbacks of last night pains and spins from head Ok, so maybe I could think of more enjoyable things than drinking right this instance, lol"
28 Jun 2004	J. Elizabeth Denton	Loading... collapses laughing into a chair that appears conveniently when needed That was GREAT! Adrian H. Wood replies: "Haha! I wish chairs could really do that! Then maybe I wouldn't fall over so much, lol. Glad you liked it!"
21 Jul 2004	E. Smith	Loading... I think we needed that one at the Oktoberfest...I think we'd have to translate it a bit, when drunk, the Germans don't speak English very well ^^ But no, this song is hilarious. I mean, I don't think I've ever seen a drinking song elfwood, so it's a first as well. Very well written and very amusing. Good work ^^ Adrian H. Wood replies: " Hehe... you know I live right next to Theresienpark which is where the Oktoberfest is held. But thanks on the props, I think you're right: We absolutely need more drinking songs on Elfwood! After all... without drinking, what would the world come to? "
27 Jun 2006	Drunk Dwarf 101	Loading... Oh, let me tell you, I ran around school singing this song for weeks. And I mean, "Weeks." Months, really. Thanks for my new way of making everyone look at me funny! And it's a great song, too!
24 Oct 2008	Ivan	Loading... These lyrics are great. Would you mind if my amateur band tried to actually play it? We’ll of course give you credit for writing it. durendal7 hotmail
22 Nov 2008	Anon.	Loading... oi this is grand! whats the dtune?
31 Jul 2009	Reetta Järvenpää	Loading... ..pink elephant... I love it. You haven’t written a dwarven hang over song, have you?
2 Aug 2009	Margaret Lynne Bonnette	Loading... This is fantastic as well as funny. I agree with Ivan; have a band write some music to it and have them sing it. I also agree with the fact that 99 bottles of beer on the wall is annoying. Write another one, perhaps a hangover song!
