Let's see   ::)

EARLY IN THE FOR-TRESS!
When there is no need for NOBLES!
Let him kiss the lovely carps early in the fortress.
HE HO

EARLY IN THE FOR-TRESS!
What shall we do with a demanding noble?
What shall we do with a demanding noble?
What shall we do with a demanding noble?
Who want's an adamantium item?

Chorus:
Way-hay, down we dig
Way-hay, down we dig
Way-hay, down we dig
EARLY IN THE FORTRESS!

Put him in the pits 'til he's sober
Put him in the pits 'til he's sober
Put him in the pits 'til he's sober
Early in the fortress!

Chorus:
Way-hay, down we dig
Way-hay, down we dig
Way-hay, down we dig
Early in the fortress!

Put him at the pumps and let him fill his death trap.
Put him at the pumps and let him fill his death trap.
Put him at the pumps and let him fill his death trap.
Early in the fortress!

Chorus:
Way-hay, down we dig
Way-hay, down we dig
Way-hay, down we dig
Early in the fortress!

Shave his beard with a rusty razor
Shave his beard with a rusty razor
Shave his beard with a rusty razor
Early in the fortress!

Chorus:.....repeat

Soak 'im in oil till he sprouts some flippers
Soak 'im in oil till he sprouts some flippers
Soak 'im in oil till he sprouts some flippers
Early in the fortress!

Chorus:........repeat

Put 'im in bed with the a GOBLINS daughter
Put 'im in bed with the a GOBLINS daughter
Put 'im in bed with the a GOBLINS daughter
Early in the fortress.

Chorus:.............repeat

Alternate Version:

What'll we do with a drunken noble,
What'll we do with a drunken noble,
What'll we do with a drunken noble, Who ask for an adamantium item?
Earl-aye in the Fortress?

Alternate Chorus:

Way hay and down we dig
Traps o' diff'rent sizes will smash the goblins
Way hay and down we dig
Earl-aye in the fortress

Alternate verses
(repeat 3 times):

Sling him in the prison pit's till he's sober
Keep him there and make 'im bale 'er.
Pull the handle and wet him all over (4/7?)
Take 'im and shake 'im, try an' wake 'im.
Trice him up in a runnin' bowline.
Give 'im a taste of the bosun's rope-end.
Give 'im a dose of salt and water.
Stick on 'is back a mustard plaster.
Shave his beard with a rusty razor.
Send him down the pit's till he's forgotten
Tie him to the taffrail when she's yardarm under
Put him in the scuppers with a hose-pipe on him.
Soak 'im in oil till he sprouts flippers.
Put him in the guard room till he's sober.
Put him in bed with the captain's daughter (captain's daughter is a reference to a whip).
Take the Baby and call it Bo'sun.
Turn him over and drive him windward.
Put him in the scuffs until the horse bites on him.
Heave him by the leg and with a rung console him.
That's what we'll do with the drunken noble.
Who ask for an adamantium item.  ::) 

Awesomeness. :D:D:D

Maybe life is like a ride from the mountainhomes,    (strike the earth!)
Dodging kobolds while you're trying to find your way,   (Thief! Protect the hoard from skulking filth!)
Everyone's around but no one does a damn thing,    (Farmer has organized a party at the orthoclase table)
it brings me down, but I wont let them                   (Miner was accosted by vermin.  Miner ate a decadent meal)

Well if I seem vague,                                           (Mayor has a new demand: Item in office)
Well you'd be correct,                                         (Mayor was pleased at the current state of demands)
And if I don't speak,
It's cause get disconnected,
But I wont be,
burdened by the reflection of
the fire in your eyes,
Cause you're just staring at the sun                       (dwarf was nauseated by the sun recently)

Oh
God it's been a lovely day
Everything's been going my way
I had so much fun today
And I'm on fire

Beware. Not of the E, or of the U, or even of the &, @, and b. Beware the #.<BR>(Translation:) Beware. Not of the elephants, or of the unicorns, or even the demons, carp, and badgers. Beware the husks, for they are relentless, corrupting, and unstoppable. Only the might of hell itself can even keep it in check; and only for a small period of time. If one sees such a being; run away, unless you like the idea of joining their ranks.

"700 Hobo Names" by John Hodgman. One of you must know what this is.

I know, and adamantine smelting is one of the areas of my expertise. ;D

This is a fox skull helmet. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It menaces with spikes of fox bone and is encircled with bands of fox leather. This item is haunted by the ghost of Alfador Angrorung the fox.
