Fatguys Banner - Vert, a tankard Or.

Obese

(By Lord Gorlan and Lady Maeve)
(To the tune of "Moose" or "Abuse")

One evening when I passed a fire burning bright
I felt a large rumble that gave me a fright
The Fat Guys were singing and dancing around
The pounding was actually shaking the ground

(Chorus:)
O-bese, O-bese, they are O-bese
Just watch and you'll see their waist lines increase
They live large and battle and revel and feast
They call them the Fat Guys and they are Obese

At the fat guys encampment I was quite aghast
Sweat pants and baseball caps weren't in the past
They ignored me and everything I had to say
That's life when there's Fat Guys in the SCA

(Chorus)

For Ladies, the Fat Guys can be a surprise
They'll provide all the courtesies born low or high
And lots of fine humor to bring you a smile
They may have large bellies, but MAN they have style

(Chorus)

For gentles there's also good reason to cheer
No discussions of politics to sour the ear
Just drinking and singing be you peasant or peer
But the best thing of all is they always have Beer

(Chorus)

Even though they've been drinking and singing all night
Come morning, they're armored and ready to fight
Whether fighting on bridges, in barges or towns
Just show them a shield wall and they'll mow it down

(Chorus)

The Fat Guys are easy to see on the field
a gold mug on green with handle under the shield
there is one more feature that scares me profound
If there's foam on the mug it means they have a CROWN!

(Chorus)


History. The Story Behind this Song

 A Fat Guy tabard is green with a gold mug. The handle of the mug goes under the shield (to protect it). If the Fat Guy is a King or Prince (or Count, Earl, etc.) he can put foam on top of the mug. We've had a few.
