Nine-Foot Spear<br>
<br>
***************<br>

_Words and Music: Ren Jie<br>

<br>
Heart of stone, I'll charge the foe alone<br>
<br>
There is no fight from which I'll take flight.<br>
And when I die, lay my body on the pyre<br>
And the flame in my soul will light the fire.<br>
<br>
_But when I go, please don't let it be<br>
<br>
At the end of a nine-foot spear<br>
Oh, that's the only weapon that I fear._<br>
<br>
Come at me with a sword and shield<br>
<br>
Wave a mace in my face, but I'll never yield.<br>
Any great sword or polearm tall,<br>
Well, I'll gladly stand up and be struck down by them all<br>
<br>
_But when I go, please don't let it be<br>
<br>
At the end of a nine-foot pole<br>
Oh the damage from that weapon takes a toll._<br>
<br>
Now, my sword is my favorite thing to wield<br>
<br>
But it seems that every time I take the field<br>
There's some bloke with a nine-foot stick<br>
Got his eyes on my jewels and then he hits me in the groin/cup/dick. (Sing<br>
according to audience, desired joke, and personal hardware.)<br>
<br>
_So when I go, please don't let it be<br>
<br>
At the end of a nine-foot lance.<br>
Because I like where everything's at in my pants._<br>
<br>
Bridge:<br>
<br>
You might think that I'm complaining just a bit<br>
That I bear this weapon too much hate.<br>
"Pick one up for yourself," I hear you say Ah, but honestly, I got no need<br>
to compensate. [hip thrust/chest thrust]<br>
<br>
_Oh, so when I go, please don't let it be.<br>
<br>
At the end of a nine-foot spear.<br>
Ah, that's the only weapon that I fear.<br>
Oh, save from that awful fate, my dear.<br>
Ah, that's the only weapon… that I fear._<br>
