about

I know this tune sounds a little like Johnny Be Good or maybe Greased Lightning, but its not based on either. Just something out of the twisted depths of my mind. The narrative of the song is loosely based on traveling to events with a bunch of rowdy guys. If you have never attended an event of the Society for Creative Anachronism, you just can't appreciate this song.

lyrics

LYRICS:
Ridin' bright and early down the King's Highway
Had to hit the road by the break of day
Don't be late for inspection or the tourney lists
Hangin' out all weekend with my favorite anachronists
Why do I do this anyway?
Welcome my friends to the S.C.A.

Seems like I've been driving for at least a week
Time to stop my dragon and take a leak
My ass is sore and my brain is startin' to numb
I'm drivin' with escapees from a mental asylum
Why do I do this anyway?
Welcome my friends to the S.C.A.

Finally reach the site off a gravel road
Some crazy celt jumps out only dressed in woad
A viking with a hammer and a kilted drunken scot
Lookin' like the rejects and the extras from Camelot
Why do I do this anyway?
Welcome my friends to the S.C.A.

Find a place to place to park and unload my gear
My household must be camped at least a mile from here
The people at the troll booth lost my reservation check
Forgot to set the VCR and now I'll miss this week's Star Trek
Why do I do this anyway?
Welcome my friends to the S.C.A.


ALTERNATE LAST COUPLET:
The troll booth lost my reservation, now I don't know what to do.
Forgot to set the DVR and now I'll miss my Doctor Who.
