<p dir="auto">[Lord Fear and Lissard are not getting on. Treguard happens to be watching them in his magic mirror. Lissard turns to him - literally.]</p>
<p dir="auto">[Lissard:]</p>
<p dir="auto">Now keep this from your elf but</p>
<p dir="auto">My lord plays games with me</p>
<p dir="auto">I don't mean Knightmare Monopoly</p>
<p dir="auto">When he is nice it's over in a trice or faster</p>
<p dir="auto">Why, it's no Greater Game</p>
<p dir="auto">When he won't give me my own calling name</p>
<p dir="auto">Wish I could withstand like the Dungeon's famous master</p>
<p dir="auto">Hey there, Treguard</p>
<p dir="auto">Could you be my boss?</p>
<p dir="auto">Talk to me, Treguard</p>
<p dir="auto">Mine cannot give a toss</p>
<p dir="auto">Hey there, Treguard</p>
<p dir="auto">I'm here in distress</p>
<p dir="auto">Talk to me, Treguard</p>
<p dir="auto">End each word with "ness"</p>
<p dir="auto">Help me, Treguard</p>
<p dir="auto">Dismiss that genie gal</p>
<p dir="auto">Take me on, Treguard</p>
<p dir="auto">As your seneschal</p>
<p dir="auto">[Then Lord Fear does the same:]</p>
<p dir="auto">He makes me want to up-chuck</p>
<p dir="auto">He's ichythyophagous</p>
<p dir="auto">Gets off on sardines and sibilance</p>
<p dir="auto">He stinks daily, he's scaly and all-Atlantean, I regret</p>
<p dir="auto">He thinks he fits the bill</p>
<p dir="auto">He doesn't know that he's draining my will</p>
<p dir="auto">Backwards he's Drassil... I need Dunshelm's favourite martinet</p>
<p dir="auto">Hey there, Treguard</p>
<p dir="auto">Could you be his boss?</p>
<p dir="auto">Talk to me, Treguard</p>
<p dir="auto">And teach him how to floss</p>
<p dir="auto">Hey there, Treguard</p>
<p dir="auto">I can't stand his stench</p>
<p dir="auto">Although he makes a</p>
<p dir="auto">Comely tavern wench</p>
<p dir="auto">Help me, Treguard</p>
<p dir="auto">If this song doesn't jar</p>
<p dir="auto">Talk to me, Treguard</p>
<p dir="auto">Knightmare's own HR</p>
<p dir="auto">[Treguard ponders, then replies.]</p>
<p dir="auto">If you want me, just surrender. You know how to surrender, don't you? I'll just put a list together, and-</p>
<p dir="auto">[Lord Fear interrupts]</p>
<p dir="auto">No.</p>
<p dir="auto">[Lord Fear and Lissard look at each other. Mutual forgiveness. Lissard carries over a blackboard. Lord Fear grins at Treguard and scrapes his fingernails down it, with a terrible high-pitched sound.]</p>

I'm glad. It's quite coincidental that Lauren Bacall, widow of Bogart and quoted in the original song, has been in the news since I wrote the parody.</p>
