How great is the need to twist and to maim

Some think that filking is awefully lame

But a pun and a wink and a joke that’s obscure

Is good trade for a song (or is it? I’m unsure)

What gift can I find in return for this prize?

When you sing me the songs that bring tears to my eyes

I can take all your lyrics and twist them around

The look will be new, but the same ol’ good sound

Chorus:

I will fashion a pun with a twist of my mind

For the lyrics you sing, I will give back in kind

I will poke, prod and push, every rhyme I will milk

A lifetime of song’s worth a lifetime of filk

I can take from your tune, ‘till you wish it had died

I can’t write songs from scratch, so my time I will bide

When you have a new song, that you’ll wish I ignore

I will chuckle and publish new lyrics galore

[Chorus]

This vow that you made will be my way to fame

For each song that you write is a new tune I claim

Be it loud hard-rock drumming or a nice quiet song

With each new creation my filking grows strong

[Chorus]

[Chorus]
