Oh, the Midrealm Chivalry get no tail!
Oh, the Midrealm Chivalry get no tail!
To alleviate their yen,
They go out with Viking men,
For the Midrealm Chivalry get no tail!

And the Vikings have no women on their ships
And the Vikings have no women on their ships
To keep all their parts in use,
They resort to self abuse,
And the Vikings have no women on their ships!

If the Masters of the Midrealm had their wish
Well, they would never go with women, they'd just fish.
Well, they are not women haters,
But they all are master baiters,
And the Masters of the Midrealm smell like fish!

Oh, the fighters of the Midrealm get no tail!
Oh, the fighters of the Midrealm get no tail!
After melee with the guys
They can hardly get a rise!
Oh, the fighters of the Midrealm get no tail!

Oh, the elves of the Midrealm get no tail!
Oh, the elves of the Midrealm get no tail!
When they do it in the trees,
They mean knot-holes, if you please!
Oh, the elves of the Midrealm get no tail!

Oh, the heralds of the Midrealm get no tail!
Oh, the heralds of the Midrealm get no tail!
For when e're they need a laugh
All they do is raise their staff!
Oh, the heralds of the Midrealm get no tail!

Oh, the marshals of the Midrealm get no tail!
Oh, the marshals of the Midrealm get no tail!
Oh, it's not that they're so cold,
But they're always yelling "Hold!"
Oh, the marshals of the Midrealm get no tail!

Oh the Minstrels of the Midrealm get no tail!
Oh the Minstrels of the Midrealm get no tail!
On their instruments they strum,
It's the only way they'll come.
Oh the Minstrels of the Midrealm get no tail!

Oh, the artists of the Midrealm get no tail!
Oh, the artists of the Midrealm get no tail!
It's not that they're so grand,
But their talent's in their hands,
Oh, the artists of the Midrealm get no tail!

Oh, the ladies of the Midrealm get no tail!
Oh, the ladies of the Midrealm get no tail!
When they cannot get a man
They use SCA Rattan!
Oh, the ladies of the Midrealm get no tail!

Oh, the Mongols, but, of course, they get tail!
Oh, the Mongols, but, of course, they get tail!
Well the Mongols, but of course,
Would rather get it from a horse--
And the horses of the Horde have no tails!
