“Buns and Bats”
Original Song: "Guns and Ships" from Hamilton
Filk By : TempestKwake
How does a ragtag badger-bun ‘Mancer in need of a shower
Somehow defeat a human whiskey sour?
How do I emerge victorious from the quagmire?
Leave the battlefield with my filking flag burnin' brighter?
Yo. Turns out I have a secret weapon!
A doctor who was high and dry without a pot to piss in
He’s constantly confused and confounded by my filkin’ mission
Ev’ryone give it up for House Lapin’s favorite twitchin’ physician!
CFC!
I’m takin this horse by the reins
Tell ya, filkin’ is burning your brains
CFC!
And I’m never gonna stop until I cure ‘em all
I filk it up and earn nothing but disdains, I’m—
CFC!
Watch me exhortin’ em! Engagin’ em!
Enragin’ em! I’m—
CFC!
I go to raise some more funds
CFC!
I come back to more buns
And bats
And here’s me in my spats
I’m zombified, no more alive, the filking plague’s the pits
I can end this plague without them, then we can all be free, but
For this to succeed, there is something they can’t see:
It’s my
Underwear!
See, I don’t know what is true
With all this filking I do, and my—
Underwear!
See, I’m gonna not let them have a hullabaloo
Too much chaos will doom us, it’s true, and my—
Underwear!
No one has more tenacity
Or matches my stockinette oubliette ditty—
Underwear!
You wanna know what I’m talkin’ ‘bout? (Underwear!)
Now, I’m just a hamster in (Underwear!)
Yeah, I’m just a hamster in
Underwear!
I know, I admit I’m just a hamster in
Underwear!
I’m not a quitter but I might be getting bitter
Un—Un—Underwear
But I’m covered in glitter and I’m just a hamster in
Underwear, un—un—
Mamby-Pamby's underwear
Troops are waiting in the field for you
If you join us right now, together we can turn the tide
Oh, Mamby-Pamby's Underwear
I have soldiers that will yield for you
If I managed to get this right
No more zombies, just tighty whites
The world will never be the same, Mamby-Pamby…
