Give the big green poet a moment of peace !
[Intro] (Heavy rhythmic stomping starts) (A funky, trilling flute melody joins in) (Orc voice: "Yeah... check the tusks. One, two... is this crystal ball on?") [Verse 1] You stare at my skin like I’m some kind of blight But emerald’s in fashion, it’s vibrant and bright You don’t mind the Tiefling, all crimson and horn But you see a green hide and you treat it with scorn "Oh, green is for monsters," you say with a sneer But elves wear it proud while they’re sipping their beer It’s emerald, it’s jade, it’s a forest’s own hue I’m a masterpiece, ranger—what’s wrong with you? [Chorus] [Catchy Orc Chorus] WAAAGH! It’s the Orcish soul! We’re body positive, we’re in control! Not just a stat-block, not just a fight We’re shaking the tavern with funky delight! Stomp your boots! Let the rhythm release! Give this big green poet a moment of peace! [Verse 2] And stop with the comments on how I might speak "A lisp," you call it? Your logic is weak! Try saying "Xanthophyll" or "Sphenoid bone" With tusks like these daggers, in a baritone tone! It’s not a speech quirk, it’s architectural grace There’s a lot of ivory packed into this face You want proper diction? You want a smooth tongue? Try singing my praises while your bells are being rung! [Bridge] (Music slows down, soulful flute solo) You say I’m "illiterate," you call me a brute But who held the book while I held the loot? Nobody sat me down under a tree To teach me my letters or philosophy! You had the tutors, the scrolls, and the time I had a club and a mountain to climb! Don’t blame the Orc for the books he can’t read When "Swing that axe harder" was all that you’d feed! [Interlude] [Solo] (Percussion-heavy breakdown with a single-stringed instrument playing a distorted, funky solo) [Verse 3] I’ve got a soul, yeah, it’s tucked deep inside It’s more than just muscle and thick leathery hide I can be hurt too, I’ve got feelings and fears (And not just when someone has bigger-sized ears) You need to be "Body Positive," look at the frame! This peak Orcish fitness is part of the game We’ve got culture in spades, we’ve got songs, we’ve got art Stop judging the fist and start judging the heart! [Chorus] [Catchy Orc Chorus] WAAAGH! It’s the Orcish soul! We’re body positive, we’re in control! Not just a stat-block, not just a fight We’re shaking the tavern with funky delight! Stomp your boots! Let the rhythm release! Give this big green poet a moment of peace! [Outro] (Heavy stomps return) Yeah... keep your library. I’ve got the rhythm. I’ve got the tusks. Get rid of those prejudices, human... Or I’ll educate you... Orc style. (Final thunderous stomp) [End]
