The Usenet Troll Song From a suggestion posted to rec.music.filk by Leslie Fish, with some words by Gary McGath. TTTO Be Our Guest Be a troll! Be a troll! Let disruption be your goal - Anything that you can do to draw attention to your role Egoboo can be nice Get your fix at any price You can make entire newsgroups into clucking little birdcoops Be a troll! Be a troll! Pound their patience into coal Tell the regulars they have no sense of flair Insult their mothers too and their manners, pfoo! Be a troll, be a troll, be a troll! Make them burn, make them freeze Sing of people scratching fleas Snigger at the woes of others who are forced upon their knees Stress and fear, jealous rage Let them be your guiding gauge Then accuse the quiet suckers all as nosy mother****ers Don't be small, don't be tame Show you have no sense of shame Just enrage them til on stage the heads will roll You love to shrill out flame, it's all a giant game Be a troll, dig a hole, you're a troll. Flaming dues, barbeques Ought to wake 'em where they snooze Don't forget to douse the fires with proof 307 booze (song tangent) : 307 Ale my friends, 307 Ale! The finest drink that any bar has ever had for sale!... (ahem) Feed them slugs, feed them snails Put their legs between their tails And so what if you are hated cuz their nerves are really grated When you leave, do salute give that middle finger toot And be proud of your achievements in your soul For you have shown that they are evil in their way You're a troll-l-l-l, says our poll-l-l-l, you're a troll-l-l-l! (or, "a-ass-ho-o-o-ole!") Jacob Sommer December 9 2000 And thanks to Tom Smith for the most excellent potables :-)
