Scream Like a Candidate

Note: A'lex based this filk on the Bangles' 'Walk Like an Egyptian,' so credit goes both to them for the original and to him for parodying it so well.

Scream Like a Candidate


All the young Weyrlings in the bowl
They do Jumping Jacks don't ya know.
If one moves too quick (oh whey oh)
They're falling down like a domino. 

All the bizarre riders by the Eggs
They got the money on a bet
Kassima's legs (oh whey oh)
They quake for marks that will be hers yet. 

Holder types with their freaky wives say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh oh oh oh
Scream like a Candidate 

The young LCGs take they trays
They spin around and they cross the room
They've got the klah (oh whey oh)
You spill your drink then you get the broom. 

All the candidates sick of chores
They like the trips to Shipfish Island
When the Eggies crack (oh whey oh)
They're walkin on some really hot sand. 

All the kids in the white robes they say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh oh oh oh
Scream like a Candidate 

Slide your arse on the seat bend your back
Shift your arm then you pull it back
Bench is hard you know (oh whey oh)
So sit and wait for the Eggs to crack. 

If you want to find all the Bronzers
They're hanging out near that Holder lass
They preen and prance (oh whey oh)
Just hopin they'll get a piece of -DOH!! 

All the Residents with their marks
They realize that we're in the dark
All the Resi's know (oh whey oh)
Bet on the Eggs if you want to win. 

And the rider on the starstone rock says
Ay oh whey oh, Istan rider hellooooooo
Welcome to Te-elgar
Welcome to Te-elgar
