Obese
(By Lord Gorlan and Lady Maeve) (To the tune of "Moose" or
"Abuse")
One evening when I passed a fire burning bright I felt a large
rumble that gave me a fright The Fat Guys were singing and dancing
around The pounding was actually shaking the ground
(Chorus:) O-bese, O-bese, they are O-bese Just watch and
you'll see their waist lines increase They live large and battle and
revel and feast They call them the Fat Guys and they are Obese
At the fat guys encampment I was quite aghast Sweat pants and
baseball caps weren't in the past They ignored me and everything I had
to say That's life when there's Fat Guys in the SCA
(Chorus)
For Ladies, the Fat Guys can be a surprise They'll provide all the
courtesies born low or high And lots of fine humor to bring you a
smile They may have large bellies, but MAN they have style
(Chorus)
For gentles there's also good reason to cheer No discussions of
politics to sour the ear Just drinking and singing be you peasant or
peer But the best thing of all is they always have Beer
(Chorus)
Even though they've been drinking and singing all night Come
morning, they're armored and ready to fight Whether fighting on
bridges, in barges or towns Just show them a shield wall and they'll
mow it down
(Chorus)
The Fat Guys are easy to see on the field a gold mug on green with
handle under the shield there is one more feature that scares me
profound If there's foam on the mug it means they have a CROWN!
(Chorus)
The Story Behind this Song
A Fat Guy tabard is green with a gold mug. The handle of the mug
goes under the shield (to protect it). If the Fat Guy is a King or Prince
(or Count, Earl, etc.) he can put foam on top of the mug. We've had a few.
