Joshy's Tremendous Burden

[Intro] [Sounds of a crowded Irish tavern] [mugs clinking] [cheers] [fiddle begins] Lead: Gather round, me lads and lasses! I've a tale that's worth a pint— Of brave JoshyWashyPlayz, Who marched into the fire... With absolutely no idea where he was going! [Crowd laughter] [Verse 1] There came a grand competition, "A Tremendous Burden" was the name, Carry one enchanted ring, And everlasting fame! "Cast it into fire!" Read the quest with hopeful grin, Joshy cried, "I know the place!" And off he dove right in! [Audience] HEY! He swam across the open sea, Past waves both wild and free, Toward Avatar's lonely isle As proud as man could be! He climbed the northern mountains high, Till clouds hid earth below, Then spotted Demon Temple's gates... "Well THERE'S where rings must go!" [Huge Chorus] Whoa-oh JoshyWashyPlayz! Raise your mugs up high! For every glorious wrong turn Deserves another try! Whoa-oh JoshyWashyPlayz! Though ashes mark the floor... A hero's heart keeps marching on— We'll cheer forevermore! [Verse 2] Then Seggellion started shouting, With a grin from ear to ear— "Everybody watch this now! This'll be entertainment here!" "Like Gladiator! Watch and learn!" The whole crowd gathered near. "Oh Joshy! They're after ya!" The tavern roared with cheer! "They're handing him his backside!" "You're in danger, lad!" "But... you DO have a shield..." "...Are ye SURE?" "...OH BOY! HE'S GOIN'!!" [Crowd laughter] [Instrumental break] [fiddle solo] [Verse 3] One great winged demon... Passed him by! Two... Three... Four... The crowd could scarce believe! Ten flew past... Then twenty... Still our Josh refused to leave! Twenty-five! Twenty-six! The legends all were born! Then number twenty-seven said... "You're extra crispy, morn'." [Audience laughter] [Bridge] Smoke rose high... His boots flew wide... His courage never bent... Though burned into a pile of ash... He'd given one hundred percent! The lava wasn't destiny... The clues had fooled the man... But no one questioned Joshy's heart— 'Twas all according to the plan! (Well... maybe not...) [Crowd laughter] [Final Chorus] Whoa-oh JoshyWashyPlayz! Your legend never dies! The ring still waits Inside the temple, Beneath those smoky skies! Whoa-oh JoshyWashyPlayz! We'll sing until the morn! For every quest needs one brave soul To charge where none have gone! [Outro] So here's a toast to Joshy! [Audience] TO JOSHY!! May your next clue be somewhat clearer! [Audience laughs] May the demons miss... May your swimming shorten... May your ring find the proper fire... And may every glorious mistake... Become another grand adventure! Everyone: SLÁINTE!! [mugs slam together] [fiddle ends triumphantly]
