The Goblin Song Lyrics

From Book Two, Chapters 205, 208,and 209, for context.

-----------

Didja see her arrive, Gak-tooth?

No I did’n.

That’s cause everyone died who did.

Der brains jez popped and dey iz dead!

How many did she kill?

Dat number’s still growing

It’s still growing...

She’s here, she’s here, -akkkK!

Tremble, oh oooo oh, Tremble, she comes...

Wow didja see dat beast explode?

Da light just reached out

And boomdead it got.

Da light, dat cursed light,

Can barely see it sweeping past

Pulsing, no burns, only curse

Da eye is pon us, see it see it

It’s comin dis way -akkkK!

Tremble, oh oooo oh, Tremble, she comes...

Dat gold, it cut dat ur right in two!

Don’t talk, she might see!

Don’t look, she might hear!

Don’t fart, she might feel!

Don’t move, she might smell!

Da fire, it took her,

An she did’n burn at all!

Purp and whites and blood -akkkK!

Tremble, oh oooo oh, Tremble, she comes...

She waz spinning

Or! She wuz dancing, ya git,

Ya seen it, da pretty lights

Goin’ in allz directions

Gobs dying and popping t’see

No chances to scream

Only to diez

I heard all Argiz’ army-akkkK!

Tremble, oh oooo oh, Tremble, she comes...

=================

“Gorb turned to Flark

Or, see dat up on dere?

Yah, she gonna fritz boom it.

De shooties helpin’ out

Oh, de cannon sprotzed numfour!

Fixit fixit afore dey come

Oh, Zog she saw uz -akkK!”

=============

“Tremble, oh oooo oh, Tremble, she comes...

Or, guyz! Itz her! Dat skinny

Da one wut killed dem gits

In da black plaz ain’t goin’ back to

Gold sword anz killin all

Shown ‘em whatz a git

E’en da trees and bugs

Or me name’s not Gogrum-“

Paten aimed. The shocked hobgoblin crossed his yellow eyes at the leyser dot on his flat nose, shouted, “akkK!” and his head blew off, right on cue. The stanza ended with a certain set of very familiar notes to a certain gaping urgob, throwing off the normal lead-in...

=========

“Gorgum said Kill ‘er,

An’ she’s right killin’, she is.

Damn dat Sword cuttin’

Slicin’ up da urs’ suits like cheese

Watchum squeal and squeak

Spitting da steel, screaming

Dat Sword is comin’ -akkK!”

=======

“Dey wuz a hard Kill Crew,

Gorgum’s lads, shining and clawed.

Bam, dat fire going off,

Dere claws and fangs all flailing

Wee, watchum go flying

Or, he lost ‘is hand, go givit back,

An’ dere’s his head sayin’- akkK!”

=========

“Or, watch dat cannon go!

Oops, dat wuzna shootin’

Great color, da gun core

Gribble-hue red, good stuff,

Once, twice, Gorgrum’s Rock

Haz a new hole dere an’ dere,

Or, he’s fallin’, gunna hit -akkK!”

=====

“Or, der went Gorgrum’s Rock,

‘e made it out, waytgo ‘im!

Wattashow, dat Plant goin’ off,

Did ‘e get ‘er? Is she singin’?

All dat fire, all dat blow?

Smoke and scream hadda be...

Or, she’s right here -akkK!”
