King Jade Rhapsody

Lyrics by Órlaith inghean Néill Mhóir uí Cheallacháin

(To the Tune of: Bohemian Rhapsody)

This the real life-
Not just a fantasy-
Going to tourney-
Is our escape from reality-
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see-
I'm just a poor girl, I need no sympathy-
Because I'm easy come, easy go,
A little high, little low,
Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me,
To me

Mama, I'm late to court,
Fell asleep in my camp bed,
now I'm as good as dead,
Mama, I had Royal favor,
But now I've gone and thrown it all away-
Mama ooo,
Didnt mean to make you cry-
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow-
Carry on,carry on,as if nothing really matters-

Too late, my time has come,
I thought I had it made-
called by His Majesty, King Jade
Goodbye everybody-I've got to go-
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth-
Mama ooo- (any way the wind blows)
I dont want to die,
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all-

I see a Herald coming after me,
Gotta run, gotta run will you watch the beefy stew-
Thunderbolt and lightning-very very frightening me-
Royal Herald! Royal Herald!,
Royal Herald! Royal Herald!
I'm running just as fast as I can Go o o o o-
But I'm just a poor girl and nobody loves me-
She's just a poor girl from a poor family-
Spare us our lives for this monstrosity-
Easy come easy go-,will you let me go-
Bismillah! no-,we will not let you go-let her go-
Bismillah! we will not let you go-let her go
Bismillah! we will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go let me go
No,no,no,no,no,no,no-
Mama mia,mama mia,mama mia let me go-
His Majesty has a Wrestler put aside for me,for me,for me-

So you think you can scratch me and gouge out my eyes-
So you think you can bite me and leave me to die-
(stop the music, and spoken) ... But NO ONE gets kicked in the Junk on MY WATCH. (restart music)
Oh baby- can’t do this to me baby-
Just gotta get out- just gotta get right outta here-

Your Majesty, King Jade,
I'm begging on my knees
Please don't make me Wrestle-, please don't make me wrestle, more than three....

Any way the wind blows....
