there's a long and storied history
of a grand tradition's mystery...
if you want to know more, it is not that hard:
you can get all the lore from the local bard!

tell me!
of the avant-garde
tell me!
of the old graveyard
and whatever you've heard,
you can disregard
don't take me at my word, go and ask the bard

whether legend or mythology,
even rumors and conspiracy,
there is always some truth, even if a shard.
in the usual booth, go and ask the bard!

tell me!
of the hero's scar
tell me!
of the shooting star
and whatever you've heard,
you can disregard
don't take me at my word, go and ask the bard

wisdom is good
if you're spreading the good word
intelligence is fine
if you're a bookish, snot-nosed nerd
but if you want the world to care
about the things you have to share
charisma is the trick
that makes your words worth being heard

so, your thirst for knowledge brought you here?
that reminds me of my thirst for beer...
and a craving for crab with a side of chard
put it all on your tab when you ask the bard!

tell me!
of the crooked guard
tell me!
is his name Bernard?
and whatever you've heard,
you can disregard
don't take me at my word, go and ask the bard

and whatever you've heard,
you can disregard
don't take me at my word, go and ask the bard
