At the Faire
| The Story |
|
Stag is a Pagan musician who has gone to a rennaissance festival to see
his friend Dana perform, Flower is a renn faire gypsy. They meet and fall
in lust. This pub waltz is also a comical look at the seamy
underbelly of renn faire, and is the opening song of the opera.

Lyrics:
Huzzah!
we are the denizens of renaissance faire
where there’s wealthy citizens, we shall set up there
a medieval prefabricated British country town
so grab your favorite tankard, put on your robe and crown
every girl is called m’lady, every man is called m’lord
every rennie’s somewhat shady, every drunkard’s got a sword
at the renaissance faire you’ll be a peasant or a king
the treatment all depends on how much riches you bring
most of us are gypsies, some are tramps, some are thieves
all will fleece a patron one more time before he leaves
I’ve got something you should buy no matter who you are
but if you turn your back on me I’ll rob your cookie jar
my friend Dana got a job performing at the faire
I got nothing else to do, I guess I’ll head down there
to hear my awesome sister sing her songs and play guitar
and in between her sets, guess I’ll hang out at the bar
I don’t want to buy candles, swords, drums or boots
I don’t need any incense, leatherwear or homemade flutes
it’s kind of fun to dress up in an old time jester suit
the women wear their sexy clothes and some are pretty cute
renaissance faire is ok I guess
the bar’s in the shade and it’s got a nice view
and here comes a goddess in a see thru dress
they call me Stag, m’lady, how do you do?
my name is Flower
I’m off work in an hour
and if you’re still here
maybe we could get a beer
