Introduction: This song was inspired by an extremely silly invasion of those fabulously silly birds...the ring-necked gidii. The song should be sung to the tune of "Love is something when you give it away" in parts and "Do your ears hang low..." in others, and with a sort of square-dance ho-down beat.

Script [may be used by any bard as long as Therrilliar is credited]

#Song - Giddy about Gidiis

put say This is a terrifying song about a terrifying event in the history of Elanthia...it was written by Therrilliar d'Onlor, so listen up and beware!

pause 6

put sing It was a dark and stormy day;a couple of years ago;a hush fell over the waiting land;a fell north wind did blow

pause 14

put sing The Crossing folk they looked around;and clutched their chests in fear;they knew that the onrushing horde;was soon approaching near

pause 14

put sing The city gates were closed and barred;the Apostles standing grim;and mages prepped their spells and chants;all await in fighting trim

pause 14

put sing Out of the gloom there came a sound;a chill right down their backs;outside the wall tore through the air;the sound of a thousand........

pause 3

put yell Quacks!

pause 11

put sing Oh...here they come the ring-necked gidii;they don't hit hard and they sure ain't pretty;they're dumber than a brick and more's the pity;'cause they're just plain silly and they smell real....

pause 3

put blink

pause 11

put sing Sure they run around in circles;and they smash right into walls;and they honk like a goose;it is not a pleasant call

pause 14

put sing They lift their right leg up;and they see that they don't fall;they lift the other leg up;but are too dumb to fall at all

pause 14

put sing Hello the gidii;Hail the birds;Mind all the laughter;Sidestep their turds

pause 14

put sing For it's wonderful to see that;right from the start;a creature that can make;the dumbest Gor Tog look smart

pause 14

put sing Yes...Here they come the ring-necked gidii;they don't hit hard and they sure ain't pretty;they're dumber than a brick and more's the pity;'cause they're just plain silly and they smell real....

pause 3

put wink

pause 11

put sing Shyness and reclusive;they are not the gidii way;they will come right up and bite you;as soon as ask the time of day

pause 14

put sing And it is lucky in the forests;from whence they deign to stray;that the wood trolls make a sport;of keeping gidiis well at bay

pause 14

put sing Go away you gidiis!;Shut up you birds;I sneeze at your feathers;you make my sides hurt

pause 14

put sing It's a wonder to know that;the gidiis can mate;it must be hard to couple when;they can't even see straight

pause 14

put sing Oh...There they go the ring-necked gidii;they don't hit hard and they sure ain't pretty;they're dumber than a brick and more's the pity;'cause they're just plain silly and they smell real....

pause 3

put say bad!

pause 8

put smile and bows
