Wheel Funny: The Dragon Got Runned Over by a Reindeer

This is the first in a short series of filk songs written by Semirhage and her husband, Ishamael.  They are published authors, under their pen names Ciaran and Coal Corby, and host several Yahoo writing groups. 

The Dragon got runned over by a reindeer

Walking home from Caemlyn Christmas Eve.

You can say there's no such thing as Santa,

But as for me and Semi, we believe.

He'd been drinkin' too much eggnog,

And they'd begged him not to go.

But being drunk only enhanced his madness,

So he stumbled out the door into the snow.

When they found him Christmas mornin',

At the scene of the attack,

There were hoof prints on his forehead,

And incriminatin' Claus marks on his back.

R: The Dragon got runned over by a reindeer

Walking home from Caemlyn Christmas Eve.

(On his way home)

You can say there's no such thing as Santa,

(Say there's no Santa)

But as for me and Semi, we believe.

(Great Lord, we believe)

Now we're all so proud of Cauthon,

He's been takin' this so well.

See him in there watchin' Gleemen,

Drinkin' beer and playin' stones with Barid Bel.

It's not Christmas for them in Caemlyn.

All the nobility's dressed in black.

And they just can't help but wonder:

Should they open up his gifts or send them back?

R: The Dragon got runned over by a reindeer

Walking home from Caemlyn Christmas Eve.

(Midnight before Christmas)

You can say there's no such thing as Santa,

(Say there's no Santa)

But as for me and Semi, we believe.

(Great Lord, we believe)

Now the goose is on the table

And the pudding made of fig.

And a blue and silver candle

that we can light the Dragon's pyre with!

The queen has warned all her friends and neighbors.

"Better watch out for yourselves.

They should never give a license,

To a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves."

R: The Dragon got runned over by a reindeer

Walking home from Caemlyn Christmas Eve.

(Minding his own business)

You can say there's no such thing as Santa,

(What do you mean there's no Santa?)

But as for me and Semi, we believe.

(Great Lord, we believe)

Oh

As for me and Semi, we believe.

(We believe in Santa Claus.)
