Arrow In The Knee
Johnny Medlar
Gather round ye people
And mind you listen well
I got an epic tale to tell you
From the land of tamriel
I was traveling north of cyrodil
In the province of skyrim
I had just arrived in whiterun
And that's where i met him
Well, to me he looked like
Just another guard
Walking down the street
But to him, it seemed
I stuck right out
Like a bald khajiit
And he walked right up to me
With a look of nostalgia in his eye
He said, "we are not so different,..."
"... You and i."
Then he said
"I used to be an adventurer like you,"
"But then i took an arrow in the knee!"
"Just ask any of my fellow guards—"
"They'll tell you that it's true—"
"That i took an arrow in the knee!"
Well he told me he was on duty
So he couldn't stay to chat
Someone stole a sweetroll
And he was investigating that
I said, "don't let me hold you up, sir."
And then we parted ways
I mumbled to myself
"This is looking like one of those days."
I was feeling kind of tired
Decided to head right for the inn
But i'd never been here before
Didn't know what direction it was in
I walked up to another guard
And asked him where i could find a bed
He looked at me
Then he smiled, and then he said
"I used to be an adventurer like you,"
"But then i took an arrow in the knee!"
"Just ask any of my fellow guards—"
"They'll tell you that it's true—"
"That i took an arrow in the knee!"
"An arrow in the kneeeeeeeeeeee!"
"An arrow in the kneeeeeeeeeeee!"
The first one was kind of random
But now i was freaking out
I was thinking i should run away
Or use a dragon shout
I was starting to calm down
And that's when i looked up and saw
Another guard
Coming right toward me!
That's when i said
"Fus ro dah!"
Well in retrospect
That turned out to be
Not the greatest plan
Now I'm sprinting for the stables—
Running as fast as i can
But it's just my luck—
The stablemaster knows how to use a bow
Now he's aiming fo rmy legs!
Oh noooooooooooooo!
"I used to be an adventurer like you,"
"But then i took an arrow in the knee!"
"Just ask any of my fellow guards—"
"They'll tell you that it's true—"
"We've all taken arrows in the knee!"
"An arrow in the kneeeeeeeeeeee!"
"An arrow in the kneeeeeeeeeeee!"
(So very painful!)
"I used to be an adventurer like you,"
"But then i took an arrow in the knee!"
"Just ask any of my fellow guards—"
"They'll tell you that it's true—"
"We've all taken arrows in the knee!"
"An arrow in the kneeeeeeeeeeee!"
"An arrow in the kneeeeeeeeeeee!"
"An arrow in the kneeeeeeeeeeee!"
"An arrow in the kneeeeeeeeeeee!"
