The Ballad of Leroy Jenkins

+ Show full styles

[Intro]  
(lo-fi acoustic intro, spoken)  
“So there was this one dude, right? Like… the chosen one. Or maybe just hungry.”  
*dramatic strum*

[Verse 1]  
Long years ago, in a realm far and wide,  
A legend was spun, a tale of great pride.  
He charged with a cry that rattled the bones,  
A reckless one screaming, echoed in tones.

[Verse 2]  
His comrades planned, they strategized with wit,  
But our boy, oh our boy, he cared not one bit.  
His patience worn thin, he couldn’t wait more,  
So he dove into glory, and the monsters did roar!

[Chorus]  
(soaring group vocals)  
OHHHHH—RECKLESS ONE!  
Charging headfirst into doom and delight!  
OHHHHH—RECKLESS ONE!  
You beautiful fool, you glorious fright!

[Verse 3]  
“Let’s do this!” he bellowed, his anthem so strong,  
Into the dragon’s lair, he galloped headlong.  
His squad dropped their snacks, dashed in to aid,  
But tactics be damned—the trap had been laid.

[Bridge]  
*guitar solo: epic/absurd fusion*  
[Bridge: Dramatic Narration]  
They fought like madmen, their brows full of sweat,  
They died like legends… with one regret.  
(Why didn’t we wait?)

[Verse 4]  
Still they fought with valor, their hearts beat with fear,  
But that wild-man’s charge, they all came to revere.  
Though slain by the beast, their tale won the fight,  
Now his name is still yelled in the dead of night!

[Chorus: Final Form]  
OHHHHH—RECKLESS ONE!  
The hero of every foolish crusade!  
OHHHHH—RECKLESS ONE!  
His spirit lives on… in each wild escapade!

[Outro]  
(calm acoustic reprise)  
So raise up your blades, your spells and your feast,  
And toast to the madman who charged in the least.  
He taught us one truth, ‘midst the blood and the grease…  
Sometimes you just… gotta roll the dice.

*fade out with heroic whispers*  
(The Reckless One…)  
(The Reckless One… lives on…)
