The Royal Roast

[Intro]
[Verse]
My boots are caked in river clay
To the castle I make my way
The moon is high and silver bright
I'll find my prize in the night
The contest needs a golden crust
Winning this is a total must
[Pre-Chorus]
The guard is asleep at the gate
He’s dreaming of a heavy plate
I creep past with a dancer's grace
A cheeky smile upon my face
[Chorus]
Oh, grab the goose and run away
Hear the wooden whistle play
Through the mud and through the clay
We shall have a feast today
Feathers flying in the air
Catch me if you even dare
I have charms and songs to spare
In the village town square
[Hook]
Honk and run
Having fun
Under the sun
The deed is done
[Verse]
The bird is fat and very loud
It could draw a village crowd
It nipped my hand and tore my sleeve
But I’m too stubborn now to leave
I tucked it underneath my cloak
This isn’t just a minstrel’s joke
[Pre-Chorus]
The guard woke up and gave a shout
He didn't know what it’s about
I stumbled on a rusted pail
And yanked the royal gander's tail
[Chorus]
Oh, grab the goose and run away
Hear the wooden whistle play
Through the mud and through the clay
We shall have a feast today
Feathers flying in the air
Catch me if you even dare
I have charms and songs to spare
In the village town square
[Bridge]
Through the brambles, through the mud
Heart is beating like a drum thud
Crumhorn sounding from the wall
I won't stumble, I won't fall
The oven's hot, the flour’s spread
Soon the kingdom will be fed
[Chorus]
Oh, grab the goose and run away
Hear the wooden whistle play
Through the mud and through the clay
We shall have a feast today
Feathers flying in the air
Catch me if you even dare
I have charms and songs to spare
In the village town square
[Post-Chorus]
Honk and squawk and run along
Turn the trouble to a song
Golden crust and savory meat
Victory is very sweet
[Outro]
