The Crown Lists Gavotte

Lyrics by Tatiana Nikolaevna Tumanova and Garth of Windhaven

(To the Tune of: The Ascot Gavotte from My Fair Lady)

Every Duke and Count and Peer is here
Everyone who should be here is here
What a smashing, positively bashing spectacle, the Crown Lists fights today
On the field are both the fighters waiting for the cue to hack and slay
What a gripping, absolutely ripping moment at the Crown Lists fights today
Heralds rushing, faces flushing
Heartbeats speed up – I have never been so keyed up
Any second now, they’ll begin the fun
Marshal’s staffs are swinging, they are springing forward
Look!  It has begun
What a frenzied moment that was, didn’t they go charging into the fray
‘Twas a thrilling, absolutely chilling moment at the Crown Lists fights today
