My kids have been fans of Minecraft since they were in utero, so the peculiar genre of music called Minecraft parody songs has been a part of our lives for many years. Diggy Diggy Hole is one of the rare ones that isn’t a filk, so that makes it fair game for me to filk it. After having it on repeat all morning in my headphones at work, I sat down at lunch and wrote this.
October 2020
Ladies, Lords and Gentles all
Sing, sing, sing with me
Let your voices fill the hall
Ring, ring, ring with me
Peers and peasants, every one
Over sea and under sun
Holy hymns and filthy filk
Dear to us as mother’s milk
Stand by the fire, idle chatter quickly dies
Songs to inspire, entertain or energise
Stir every heart, light every eye
To sing and sing makes us one
Come on now, we’ll have some fun
I am a bard and I’m singing a song
Singy singy song, singy singy song
I am a bard and I’m singing a song
Singy singy song, singing a song
The sun is down, the moon is high
A fine night, guaranteed
Our circle’s fire beneath the sky
What more could we need?
Take your place before the flame
We are family, all the same
Songs of glory, stories told
Hold us warm despite the cold
Stand by the fire, sing of love or sing of war
As long as we’re able, this is what we came here for
Mighty drums resound and roll, you will feel the roar
We do not fear the watching crowd
We can never sing too loud
I am a bard and I’m singing a song
Singy singy song, singy singy song
I am a bard and I’m singing a song
Singy singy song, singing a song
I am a bard and I’m singing a song
Singy singy song, singy singy song
I am a bard and I’m singing a song
Singy singy song, singing a song
Stand by the fire, idle chatter quickly dies
Songs to inspire, entertain or energise
Stir every heart, light every eye
To sing and sing makes us one
Come on now, we’ll have some fun
I am a bard and I’m singing a song
Singy singy song, singy singy song
I am a bard and I’m singing a song
Singy singy song, singing a song
I am a bard and I’m singing a song
Singy singy song, singy singy song
I am a bard and I’m singing a song
Singy singy song, singing a song
