Filking Fever

To the tune of "Hava Nagila" (Jewish trad.).

I wrote this for the DAMN Glory set in the "instaband" session at HarmonIX. (The band name came from "Dan, Anne, Marion and Neil", by the way.)

I'm a believer
In Filking Fever
When we achieve a
New song each day.

Creative writing
Is so exciting
We spend the night in
Trying to lay.

Circles before the dawn
Ose songs with words forlorn
Singing the melodies to badly played guitars
Chaos or bardic form
Parody, that's the norm.
Space songs and race songs 'bout travellers to Mars.

Filking, filking fever
Filking, filking fever
Hear a song and then you filk it
Hear a song and then you filk it
Without mercy you must milk it
Without mercy you must milk it
Hear a song
Filk that song
Sing that song
In happy harmony.
