The following lyrics are very naughty, and should really be set to some 'dancing round the maypole/morris dancing' sort of music.
RAMS GOATS AND SEERS
Come dance, lads and lassies, around the May Pole,
With a nay and anon and a nonny,
For I heard it tell JZK sold her soul,
Oh, nay, nonny no, nonny-nonny.
Let you gather together and focus your ears,
With a nay and anon and a nonny,
And hark to the story of Rams, Goats and Seers,
Oh, nay, nonny no, nonny-nonny.
A Ram and a Goat were out walking one night,
With a nay and anon and a nonny,
When they secretly met by a neighbourhood light.
Oh, nay, nonny no, nonny-nonny.
"Hey, it's all going good!", said the Ram to the Goat,
With a nay and anon and a nonny,
"Expected it would, though I don't mean to gloat."
Oh, nay, nonny no, nonny-nonny.
"There's only one problem I still have to fix",
With a nay and anon and a nonny,
And the Ram Creature sighed, as he fiddled with sticks.
Oh, nay, nonny no, nonny-nonny.
"My daughteren's fussing, she's asking for more"
With a nay and anon and a nonny,
"If she gets no more money, she'll lock up the door."
Oh, nay, nonny no, nonny-nonny.
"Oh dear," said the Goat, "I think that's a bit rich!"
With a nay and anon and a nonny,
"I don't often pay for a mere psychic witch."
Oh, nay, nonny no, nonny-nonny.
"Tell you what, though, I think I can help with this goal."
With a nay and anon and a nonny,
"Could she be persuaded to sell me her soul?"
Oh, nay, nony no, nonny-nonny.
"Well, master, I wonder how much you would pay?"
With a nay and anon and a nonny,
"Would you want all the documents signed the same day?"
Oh, nay, nonny no, nonny-nonny.
"Too right + bring her soul-force attached to some chains",
With a nay and a no and a nonny,
"I'll rent it to demons and double my gains!"
Oh, nay, nonny no, nonny-nonny.
The Ram, of course, bargained to get a fair price,
With a nay and a no and a nonny,
(JZK on the astral was playing with dice!)
Oh, nay, nonny no, nonny-nonny.
"Hey ho", said the Goat, "Shall we share a pact pipe?"
With a nay and anon and a nonny,
"With cherry tobacco, so fragrant and ripe?"
Oh, nay, nonny no, nonny-nonny.
"I'd like a good brandy, but red wine will suit"
With a nay and anon and a nonny,
"To us both", said the Ram, "and 'So Be It, to boot!",
Oh, nay, nonny no nonny-nonny.
