ok - i got bored at 3am a couple nights ago!! biggrin and this idea popped into my head - so i went with it!!
It's about bards, and i want to make a verse for every part of a bard - music, drinks, and women!! xd lolz - or if your a female bard - then men!! but this was written from a female's perspective of a male bard
so - the last verse NEEDS HELP DEPERATLY, but if anyone has any comments, constructive critisism - have at 'er
but please keep in mind, this is my first filk song EVER and it was written at 3am!! sweatdrop
:edit: also for the first verse - 3rd line - keep in mind that i'm from An Tir! xd
(To the tune of 'Oh Come All Ye Faithful')
oh come all ye bards
joyful, full of song
come all ye populace of An Tir
come share your poems
entertain with playful tunes
oh come sing us a song
oh come sing us a song
oh come sing us a song
joyful bards
oh carry a tune
sing it for the royals
sing it for all the people lord and serf
Sing it aloud
sing it for all to hear
oh come sing for the people
oh come sing for the people
oh come sing for the people
joyful bards
oh drink all ye bards
drink ye self merry
drink 'till ye can not stop
ye joyful songs
toast to the bards
fill their mugs with ale and mead
oh drink ye self merry
oh drink ye self merry
oh drink ye self merry
joyful bards
oh don't tire now
continue with the song
sing it for all the ladies
still not to bed
sing for the wenches
who have not yet tired of your songs
Oh sing for the women
Oh sing for the women
Oh sing for the women
joyful bards

It works, but the first line of each stanza is short a sylable. You can make it work by singing the last word as two (as I'm sure you've been doing) but it's more in keeping with the original to have a two-sylable word.
However, I'm well-versed enough in filk to know it doesn't really matter.

lolz as i said - first filk song ever & it was at 3am!
i do want to fix it up though, so that it sounds really good .... because Cinara's making me sing it at the next 'sing for your supper' .... stare *dies*
also - she's 'challenged me' to make a historically-sounding song .... as in medieval tune, medieval writing, so that it sounds like it could be from the medieval times ..... stare she's evil xp

well, if she's pushing you to sing something, and she's expecting some classic, then she is in for a mighty big suprise, no?

I would probably try with "bardic ones" instead of bards. It fits in the metre better. Also, try and rhyme with song, too. It'll sound better, and flow easier.

I was filking as I packed for war this weekend...
We made up our minds and we started packing
We left before the sun came up this morn--
We left the dreary mundane world behind us
Our armor is ready and we're off heading for war!
