What's a Filk By Joshua Kronenqold (to the tune of Martin said to his man, traditional. in this case, every verse is a filksong or folksong sung in filkish circles) Martin said to Dianne Are you high? Martin said to Dianne Who's the fool now? Martin said to Dianne Do you drink your Tully like a fan, You're way too drunk, Dianne. Who's the fool now? I saw a girl some wizards beat, Are you high? I saw a girl some wizards beat, (Who's the fool now.) I saw a girl some wizards beat, Eight horses ran beneath her feet. You're way too drunk, Dianne. Who's the fool now? I saw a hammer stop a gun, A dead man make the Redcoats run. I saw a cat catch a fire, The heat did make the beast perspire. I saw a pie take a breath, A domino's fall make a death. I saw a fridge with blinkenlights A mainframe that could wash your whites. I saw a Jew be Christian too, It's beams sliced pirate's hulls in two. I saw a sea-bourne Antelope, The wreckage of a young man's hope. (Avram, w/change by Josh) I saw some pirates with no ship In Lincoln Park my car they stripped I saw a poem birth a ship, From suicide to a long trip I saw a river drunk all up, with many things inside that cup I saw a bird touch the moon, The eagle landed none too soon. ---------- Avram's verses: I saw a crew go on a tear, The captain's pants no longer there. I saw a falling asteroid, And all the Garden State destroyed. I saw a broken Antelope, The wreckage of a young man's hope. I saw three knights compare their strength, Their monarch won at greater length. I saw some soldiers march from Rome, Remembering tattlers left at home. .
