I Write the Filks

I Write the Filks
A filk by "Father" Marcos de Foronda
To the tune of "I Write the Songs" by Bruce Johnston and sung by Barry Manilow


I've been writting forever
And I wrote a whole lotta filks
I put the words and the melodies together
I am insane
And I write the filks

I write the filks that make the known world sing
I write the filks of wars and An Tir things
I write the filks that make the new bards try
I write the filks, I write the filks

My skill lies with reworked tunes
And I change them into something new
And when I hear them 'round a fire
I'm feeling good, even when they sing the blues

I write the filks that make the known world sing
I write the filks of wars and An Tir things
I write the filks that make the Peerage sigh
I write the filks, I write the filks

Oh my filking makes some scoff
And twists an old song a wee bit off
And I use some rock 'n' roll so all can sing
Filk songs twist your mind
And most are of the satire kind
Some are bad, some are sad
Some are sick, some have wit
It is An Tir history

I write the filks that make the known world sing
I write the filks of wars and An Tir things
I write the filks that make the Laurels cry
I write the filks, I write the filks

I am insane, and I write the filks
