The Feast Song (Main Course Don't Be Late)

Lyrics by Connor MacAufflie FitzJames

(To the Tune of: The Chipmunk Song)

Feasting, feasting time is near.
The soup is cold, the meat’s not here.
Our appetites are hard to sate.
Hurry, Main Course, don’t be late.

Can’t eat the music of the lute.
     Me, I want some heated soup.
Bread is good, but we can’t wait.
Please, Main Course, don’t be late.

We’re starving, starving now, I fear.
Hungry commons, hungry Peers.
Serving time’s an hour past.
Hurry, Main Course, hurry fast.

Let’s eat the man who plays the lute.
     I still want some heated soup.
Bread is good, but we can’t wait.
Please, Main Course, don’t be late.
Bread is good, but we can’t wait.
Please, Main Course, don’t be late.

NB: The rather eager and definitely demented looks on the Helm-Tone chipmunks accompanying the line of “Let’s eat the man who plays the lute” brought the house down.
