Skyrim's "Piano Man"

The indoor music you hear in some inns and in Dohvakiin's Warehouse really reminds me of the song "Piano Man," by Billy Joel. I couldn't stop writing the Skyrim version in my head, set to this music, so I decided to write it down and share it with you for the fun of it.

 

GREAT COLLEGE BARD

 

It's nine o'clock on a Loredas
A guard asks me what do I need
There's an old mage sitting next to me
Makin' love to his Honningbrew mead

He says "I'd much love to hear you sing Ragnar the Red -
I've rather forgot how it goes.
These fools on the street keep changing the words -
And their version seriously blows."

Dum de de dum de de dum dum
Dum dum de de dum de dum

Sing us a song
You're the great college bard
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a thu'um or three
And you've got us feelin' alright

Now Delpine at the Giant's a friend of mine
She gets me my drinks for free
And she's quick with a joke
When the room's full of smoke
And the room rent's as cheap as can be

She says "This High Hrothgar business is killing me,"
As a smile ran away from her face
"Well, I'm sure that I could be the Dragonborn,
If I could just shout in his face."

Now Ysolda's a Khajiit enthusiast
Who complains about starting a life
And she wants to begin her own caravan
Now instead, she's becoming a wife

And Belethor is selling his sister now
And Vilja said she'd do the same
What the hell is wrong with these dumb villagers?
Do they have any level of shame?

Dum de de dum de de dum dum
Dum dum de de dum de dum

Sing us a song
You're the great college bard
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a thu'um or three
And you've got us feelin' alright

It's a pretty good crowd for a Loredas
And the Dragonborn gives me a smile
'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see
To forget Ulfric's mess for a while

And Lydia still needs to bathe thoroughly
And Brenuin's drinkin' cheap wine
Yet another guard has taken an arrow to the knee
But the Dragonborn's doin' just fine

Dum de de dum de de dum dum
Dum dum de de dum de dum

Sing us a song
You're the great college bard
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a thu'um or three
And you've got us feelin' alright
