I Wanna Be Filked By Three Weird Sisters

8/27/01

Story

Terence Chua was the Interfilk guest at OVFF 2001. Three Weird Sisters were the Guests of Honor.

At the end of their concert, Three Weird Sisters sang "Terence Chua Could Filk It" TTTO "Christine Lavin Could Do It" by Cheryl Wheeler. But there's more--they brought him up on stage, and they asked three attractive female filkers [Debbie Ohi, Jodi Krangle, and Erica Neeley] to play wenches and fangirls for him while they sang. He was delightfully embarrassed.

I thought it looked like a lot of fun. This song took about three hours to write.

Lyrics

[E] Well I was hangin' at the con, just to have a little fun
Tryin' to [A] beat the dead-end day job [E] blues
[f#m] The questions came to me: What [F#7] do you want to be
When you [B] grow up? Where are you going to? [C] [B]

Then the [E] band up on the stage brought [E7] someone up and played
A [A] song that made the [A] poor [B] guy [C] blush
[f#m] Three gorgeous women were [F#7] hanging off of him
And my [B] future came to me in a rush [C] [B]

I wanna be filked by the Three Weird Sisters
I want to be the G.O.H. at a con
I want to travel all around and lay some music down
And bring my friends and family along

Don't need to be a rock star, just sing and play guitar
And only come out late at night
They'll play that filk music and they will abuse you
They sure know how to treat a man right

So I congratulate the fellow; guess I don't have to tell you
My mind was in a jealous haze
My eyes were turning green; my God, you should have seen
The three girls that took him away

So I started performin' in the wee hours of the morning
Tryin' to sell them on my stuff
I want fame and luck and maybe a few bucks
If you cover me once, that's enough

(chorus)
