LYRICS:

Yo-da lay-heeee lay-heeee-eee-eee yoo-hoo

My name is Granny, and I'm an indentured goblin…friends
This story I tell you is true
I lived to serve my evil master, even though he had a loose screw
And we’d experiment all night and day
'Til we magicked ourselves off the edge of a cliff
Off an old Erin port far away

Yo-da lay-heeee lay-heeee-eee-you whoo-hoooo

Now we floundered and paddled and panicked….friends
Our prospects they looked rather grim
and Boonie he turned and yelled sadly
“Hey Granny! Why can’t us poor goblins swim?”
Granny here had no decent answer
As I tried to keep the moisture at bay
At the soggy bottom of the edge of that cliff
Off an old Erin port far away

Yo-da lay-heeee lay-heeee-eee-you whoo-hoooo

Now I hoped and I prayed for rescue…..friends
As old drowning grannies will do
When the water started frothing up madly
Me and Boonie hadn’t a clue
Tentacles...or some other, giant besuckered appendage…
I wasn’t looking that closely…
Surfaced in every which way
We were grabbed in a jiff near the edge of that cliff
Off that old Erin port far away

Yo-da lay-heeee lay-heeee-eee-you whoo-hoo

Now a kraken is a mighty cruel beastie…..friends
But what rode it was the cause for dismay
For there a blue troll sat in an Admiral’s hat
And a grin that would turn you all grey
‘‘Now look here you pair of purple goblins” he thundered
“You’re too purple to be edible prey,
So you’ll be bards and you’ll yell songs to make us sound swell
Or at the bottom of this cliff you will stay.”

Now me and Boonie aren’t musically gifted
Our voices are all squeak and shake
But even an old purple granny
Can rhyme when her life is at stake…
So we follow the great Grand High Admiral
And we screech the whole live-long day
For while the songs are not great, better than a watery fate
Off that old Erin port far away

Yo-da lay-heeee lay-heeee-eee-you whoo-hoooo
Yo-da lay-heeee lay-heeee-eeeee you-hoo
