filk based on Lord Dahrien Cordell of Caer Anterth Mawr's "The Pickled
Fish",
which
is in turn a filk of "Rattling Bog", as performed by The Irish Rovers)
Now
in Calontir, there is a place.
A
fine place, a flinty place!
A
flinty place that we call Flinthyll.
Chorus:
Here's
to the shire Flinthyll,
The
flinty hill, the shire Flinthyll,
Raise
your glass, and drink your fill,
And
drink a toast to the shire Flinthyll.
And
in Flinthyll, there is a man.
A
fine man, a flinty man!
A
man from a place,
A flinty
place that we call Flinthyll.
Chorus
And
that man, he is the seneschal.
A
fine senechal, a flinty senechal!
The
senechal is a man,
A man from a place,
A flinty place that we call Flinthyll.
Chorus
Now that seneshcal, he wears some garb.
Some fine garb, some flinty garb!
There's garb on the seneschal,
The senechal is a man,
A man from a place,
A flinty place that we call Flinthyll.
Chorus
And on that garb, there is something orange.
A fine orange, a flinty orange!
Something orange on the garb,
The garb on the seneschal,
The senechal is a man,
A man from a place,
A flinty place that we call Flinthyll.
Chorus
That something orange, it is a pumpkin.
A fine pumpkin, a flinty pumpkin!
The pumpkin is orange,
Is orange on the garb,
The garb on the seneschal,
The senechal is a man,
A man from a place,
A flinty place that we call Flinthyll.
Chorus
Now the man with the pumpkin, he has a name.
A fine name, a flinty name!
The name of the man,
The man with the pumpkin,
The pumpkin is orange,
Is orange on the garb,
The garb on the seneschal,
The senechal is a man,
A man from a place,
A flinty place that we call Flinthyll.
Chorus
And that name, is is Hannibal.
Oh fine Hannibal, oh flinty Hannibal!
Hannibal is the name
Of the man with the pumpkin,
The pumpkin is orange,
Is orange on the garb,
The garb on the seneschal,
The senechal is a man,
A man from a place,
A flinty place that we call Flinthyll.
Chorus
Now along with this name, there is another name.
A fine name, a flinty name!
Hannibal the Oblivious,
The man with the pumpkin,
The pumpkin is orange,
Is orange on the garb,
The garb on the seneschal,
The senechal is a man,
A man from a place,
A flinty place that we call Flinthyll.
