Nibbles the Rogue Rat #TheTavern

tavern folk, foot stomping, funny, upbeat, violin, deep bass

[A raucous, foot-stomping tavern tune, full of mischief, laughter, and clanking tankards! Fast fiddle, booming drums, and the occasional squeak for emphasis!]

[Verse 1]
Oh, gather ye round and listen well,
To a tale of a thief as bold as hell!
Not a man, nor elf, nor goblin tall,
But a rat so sly, he tricks ‘em all!

With a twitch of his nose and a flick of his tail,
He'll steal your gold and your finest ale!
No lock can hold, no trap can catch,
For none are as quick as this sneaky little rat!

[Chorus - Everyone joins in, clapping and stomping!]
Hey-ho! Watch your back!
Nibbles is here, and he’s on the attack!
Gold in his paws, cheese in his sack,
If you see him scurry—ya won’t get it back!

[Verse 2]
A noble once cried, “Who took my ring?!”
The rat just grinned, that thieving king!
He’ll nick your trinkets, your coins, your pie,
And be halfway gone with a wink of his eye!

He sleeps in a mug and dines for free,
Steals from the rich, but mostly me!
The Tinkertune’s menace, the tavern’s curse,
Yet somehow we love him (for better or worse)!

[Chorus - Louder, stomping grows wild!]
Hey-ho! Watch your back!
Nibbles is here, and he’s on the attack!
Gold in his paws, cheese in his sack,
If you see him scurry—ya won’t get it back!

[Bridge - Instrumental—fiddle and drum breakdown, while everyone stomps, claps, and shouts “Nibbles!” as a toast!]
"Nibbles"... (Nibbles!!!!)

[Spoken interlude by a Drunken Patron]
"Last night I set a trap so neat,
To catch the thief who stole my meat!
But when I woke, what did I see?
The rat left a note—it said ‘Thanks for the brie!’”

[Verse 3]
The barmaids chase him, the barkeep swears,
Yet Nibbles still scampers without any cares!
Tales of his crimes spread near and far,
He once stole a ship (but not the whole bar)!

But when the night is dark and the ale runs low,
And the fire flickers with a golden glow,
A tiny tail curls ‘round a tankard tall,
And we toast the rogue rat—the best thief of all!

[Final Chorus - Tavern in full roar, fists pounding the tables!]
Hey-ho! Watch your back!
Nibbles is here, and he’s on the attack!
Gold in his paws, cheese in his sack,
If you see him scurry—ya won’t get it back!
