Those Benden Weyr Nights

Kassima: "Da always used to tell me that insanity is the spice of life, excitement the sweetner, and variety the seasoning. He never seemed to find it funny when I'd then ask him whether he wasn't confusing life with a recipe for cinnamon rolls."

Note: Credits go to the marvelous composers at Disney for writing the original version of this song, 'Arabian Nights,' which is found in the movie 'Aladdin.' I also incorporated the variants of the song which were featured in 'Return of Jafar' and the Aladdin TV series.

Those Benden Weyr Nights


Oh, I come from a Weyr, from a faraway place
Where many raving madmen roam.
Where they throw rolls at you if they don't like your face--
It's demented, but hey! It's home!
When the wind's from the east, and the snow's from the west,
And no green's due to have a flight,
Come on down--stop on by! Hop a dragon and fly
To another wild Benden Weyr night!

Those Benden Weyr nights, unlike Benden Weyr days,
More often than not are hotter than hot, in a lot of good ways!
Those Benden Weyr nights, beneath Benden Weyr's moons....
A fool off his guard could find living hard amongst all those loons.

Oh, I come from a Weyr where truly strange events
Are routine every hour or so.
Where J'lor's pants run rampant throughout the LC--
Look, there they are now--watch them go!
Welcome to Benden Weyr; we're quite glad that you're here--
Beware riders that leer post-flight.
Come on down, stop on by--bribe a rider, and fly
To another wild Benden Weyr night!

Those Benden Weyr nights--like the Benden Weyr days,
They tease and excite! Take off and take flight! They shock and amaze!
Those Benden Weyr nights, unlike Benden Weyr days,
More often than not are hotter than hot, in a lot of good ways!
