Title: The Badger’s Deep Burrow [Intro] (The sound of a tankard hitting a table, followed by a fast, simple guitar strum: G - C - D) (Spoken): "Alright, alright! One for the Ranger! Everybody together now!" [Verse 1] The Ranger had a badger, a beast of great renown The bushiest tail and the finest coat in all the local town But that badger had a habit that caused a bit of strife He spent his hours searching for the tunnel of his life! He found a little hillock, so round and soft and green The tightest little entrance that the lad had ever seen! 🏔️ [Chorus] (Loud, rhythmic, and easy to shout) Oh! He’s a badger in a hole, and he’s digging deep today! He’s got a lot of work to do before he hits the hay! It’s a long way down and it’s dark as coal He’s a happy little badger in a very busy hole! (Stomp-Stomp-Clap!) [Verse 2] The Druid came a-walking, and he said, "Now listen here, That burrow’s far too narrow, and the exit isn't clear!" But the badger didn't listen, he just gave a little grunt He was busy doing shovel-work way up at the front! He was scratching at the dirt, he was moving quite a pace Until he found a comfortable and very private space! 🐾 [Chorus] Oh! He’s a badger in a hole, and he’s digging deep today! He’s got a lot of work to do before he hits the hay! It’s a long way down and it’s dark as coal He’s a happy little badger in a very busy hole! [Bridge: The Pun-filled Breakdown] (Music slows for a "storytelling" moment) Now, some say it’s a "sett," and some say it’s a "snare" But the badger doesn't mind as long as there’s some hair... Uh, heather! I mean heather! Growing on the mound! He’s the champion of everything that’s hidden underground! He’s persistent with his pocking, he’s rhythmic with his paws He won't come out for dinner 'til he’s used his mighty claws! 🛠️ [Guitar/Accordion Solo - Fast and bouncy] [Verse 3] The Paladin walked by and he gave a heavy sigh He said, "That badger’s 'burrowing' is a sin in every eye!" But the Ranger just responded, "Hey, he’s only being natural! His appetite for digging is completely architectural!" So if you see a badger with his head inside a trench Don't you dare disturb him... 'cause you’ll notice such a stench! 🦨 [Final Chorus] (Crowd at maximum volume) Oh! He’s a badger in a hole, and he’s digging deep today! He’s got a lot of work to do before he hits the hay! It’s a long way down and it’s dark as coal He’s a happy little badger in a very busy hole! (One more time!) He’s a happy little badger in a very... busy... HOLE! [Outro] (Laughter and the sound of clinking glasses) "Another round for the badger!" "Keep digging, son!" (Final loud chord and a cheer) [End]
