Due to my position as Poet Laureate of Flannel Haven I have assumed responsibility for composing lyrics for a national anthem. The said lyrics follow, and I seek a response from the Triumvirate or other interested parties. I have no idea how the music will sound.
You tell me that you love me
That you'll do anything.
But just what exactly
Does 'anything' mean?
Will you give me riches
In money and gems,
The wealth of the earth,
Silken robes with straight hems?
Will you give me your flannel?
Will you give me your flannel?
Will you work, sweat, and suffer
For all my commands?
Will your strength, heart, and labor
Bend to my demands?
Will you give me your flannel?
Will you give me your flannel?
Do you love me more than your mother
Than your gimp little brother?
Would you sacrifice things most dear to your heart:
Your hobbies, awards, and plumbing to start?
Will you part with addictions,
Forsake privacy?
Will you risk precious limbs
For your loyalty?
Will you give me your flannel?
* At the end of the song the singers should repeat the word "Eep" five times in a high pitched voice in succession.
The proposed title of this anthem is: "Will You Give Me Your Flannel?"
