It has been a week and a half since I posted my last two songs, Hopeless
Warren (-or- Spaceship Down) and Temperature of Roast Filk.  I have seen no
responses - did the mail packer eat them?  I have a response from Tom Smith to 
my Temperature of Roast Filk, but it won't do anyone any good to read it if
they haven't seen mine...

SF>   I had thought of doing one to Waltzing Matilda along the lines of:

SF>Stealing the taglines.
SF>Stealing the taglines.
SF>Stealing and laughing uproariously.
SF>
SF>However while I know the melody to the refrain I don't know the
SF>melody to the verses.

        As Brian Lowe said, it is the national anthem of Australia, so I'd
imagine it's public domain by now. The first verse and chorus goes:

   Once a jolly swagman sat [camped?] beside a billabong
   Under the shade of a coolibah[sp] tree
   And he sang as he sat and waited while his billy boiled
   You'll come a-waltzing matilda with me
        Waltzing matilda waltzing matilda
        You'll come a-waltzing matilda with me
        And he sang as he sat and waited while his billy boiled
        You'll come a-waltzing matilda with me

        Just match that scansion. Use fewer syllables as needed.
        The third line of the verse is always the third line of the chorus.
Thus, the third line of the chorus is always different. The rest of the
chorus doesn't change. The last line of both verse and chorus is always
the same. Feel free to play fast and loose with the scansion since the
original does; the first verse has the most syllables of any.
        And by the way --
waltzing matilda = traveling aroud the outback, I think
         swagman = poacher
       billabong = oasis
           billy = tea kettle
   coolibah tree = I don't think even the Aussies know that one!

        I'd love to see the result when you're done.

Duh, it seems that a large percentage of filk is re: conventions, other 
filksongs, other filkers, and even mundane politics.  And, other than a 
few crossover artists, most of the Horror filks stay at Horror cons, 
from what I've seen/heard.

"Dum" is traditionally done by thwacking near the middle of the drumhead with

Say I know this isn't a holiday song, but I have been forever (it seems)
trying to get this words to this song.  It starts like this...

              Loot and Plunder, Rape and Kill
		 (tune of Supercalifrag...from Mary Poppins)

Oh, when I was a younger lad I roamed the kingdom 'round.
In inns and houses everywhere my money could be found.
Then one day I found a way to save my dwindling purse.
The easiest way that some would say and some would say the worst.

   CHORUS	Oh, loot and plunder, rape and kill
		But all in moderation
		If you take this sound advice
		You'll soon rule all the nations
		First you kill your enemies
		And then do their relations
		Oh, loot and plunder, rape and kill
		But all in moderation.

Does anyone know the rest?  Please let me know.

Just for funsies, here's the words to "Shaking Of The Sheets" (don't worry,
Kay, they're -seriously- Trad. by several hundred years)


                       *

            THE SHAKING OF THE SHEETS
             -recorded by Steeleye Span
              "Tempted & Tried" Shanachie 64020

 CHORUS: Dance, dance, the shaking of the sheeets
         Dance, dance, when you hear the piper
         Playing, everyone must dance
         The shaking of the sheets with me.

 Bring away the beggar, bring away the King
 And every man in his degree.
 Bring away the oldest, and the youngest thing
 Come to death and follow me!

 Bring away the merchant who made his money in France
 And the crafty banker, too!
 When you hear the piper, you and I must dance
 The Dance that everyone must do!

 I'll find you in the courtrooms, I'll find you in the schools
 When you hear the piper play,
 I'll take away the wise men, take away the fools,
 And bring their bodies all to clay.

 All the politicians of high and low degree,
 Lords and Ladies great and small
 Don't think that you'll escape, and need not dance with me
 I'll make you come when I do call!

 It may be in the day, it may be in the night
 Prepare yourselves to dance and pray!
 That when the piper plays "The Shaking of the Sheets"
 You may to Heaven dance the way!

                         *

Then again, if you're looking for Hanukkah filks, I remember one 
from an ecumenical holiday party I went to a few years ago. Don't
remember the exact words, but it's to the tune of "Oh, Hanukkah",
and refers to the latkes allegedly baked by Mrs. Maccabeus...
"You may not guess/But it was the latkes/That gave him the strength
to fight..." Anybody know the source on this one?
And don't scorn those grade-school songbooks; that's where this gentile
_learned_ "Oh, Hanukkah" long before I knew what Hanukkah was.

                              Greedfest
                            Sherman Dorn
In 6/8, sweetly (Q=80):
C              G7
Years ago, I remember well
               D7        G
December had a different smell.
C                F             
Pine needles and blazing fire
          C           G7        C
stoked my pure little heart's desire.


     Chorus:
     Greedfest, Greedfest, how sweet you sing.
     The gifts today are everything.
     Greedfest, Greedfest, it's you we adore
     as the children clamor for more.

Material wants have the upper hand
as merchants all across the land
advertising toys that cannot fail,
starting pre-Halloween Christmas sales.

Peace on Earth is a futile hope
when you go to a mall to cope
with Muzak carols and plastic cheer
and the clerks who are all-too-sincere.

Ecumenical rites are now the rule.
No Jewish child will play the Fool.
She says, "We do not celebrate Christmas Day
but on Hannukah, I'll get some stuff, I pray."

the phrases to Scotland's Depraved that I know go as follows...

Bring me my sheep oh mother
No not my brother mother
Bring me my sheep
For I am lonely tonight

Bring me the lanolin
Better the flannel in
England is pure
But Scotland's depraved

Bring  me my wiskey mother
Im feeling frisky mother
Bring me my sheep
For I am lonely tonight

Bring me my dear old sister
Oh god, how I've missed her
England is pure
But Scotland's depraved

Bring me my dear Aunt Mary
Oh god she's do damn hairy
Bring me my sheep
For I am lonely tonight

Bring me my dear grandmother
I'd wish for none the other
England is pure
But Scotland's depraved

	Thats all I know, but if anyone is interested, I also have some of
the words to Scotland the Brave.  

	Just keep in mind....  Incest is best kept within the family,
				  Its a game the whole family can play.
