Vana had heard rumours in her tavern that her friend Lieutenant Gregarious had been involved in a jousting match against a Scotsman. She wanted to find out whether Greg could tell her how to contact a Scotsman, for personal reasons of her own, but recently her relationship with Greg hadn't been on the best of terms, since they found themselves in opposing political parties. So in an attempt to break down any bad feelings arising from the stupid politics, and to broach the subject of his contest, Vana wrote him a song all about jousting.
She sang it to him next time they met. It went like this:
When you listen to the ground
Thundering hooves are all around
And there's someone fallin' down
who can feel it
As it waves in the air
the long lance thrust out there
If it's something that you dare
you can shield it
And that sweet castle lady,
She moves all the knights,
controlling their minds and their souls
She hands one her scarf for
his helmet so bright
And he gets her Knight Favour, Knight Favour
'Cos he knows how to win it!
Give him that Knight favour, Knight Favour
He'll still have to prove it.
There he is
Praying for good fortune to last
Riding on his charger so fine,
Borne on the wind,
Making her his.
He's got Knight fever, Knight fever
He knows how to fight him
Cos he has Knight fever Knight fever
She should not requite him
In the heat of the joust
Can't get no help for him to make it
Has to do enough to win her warm cuddle
She wished him Godspeed
He sat higher in his saddle
To stay up on his steed
Not to end in a puddle.
But that sweet castle lady,
She moves all the knights,
controlling their minds and their souls
She hands one her scarf
and the feeling is bright
Given that Knight favour, Knight favour,
He knows how to show it.
Then he gets Knight fever, Knight fever
Let us watch him win it.
