"The Bird Changed Hands" (FILK)

    To the list,

Watching "Birds of a Feather" on 5 cups of coffee and NO sleep does wierd things to your brain. This is the end result.

The Bird Changed Hands...

(Galaxy Rangers filk)
(to the tune of "The Cat Came Back")

The Queen of the Crown had troubles of her own. Had a little birdie that wouldn't stay at home. Until one day Geezy took it far away,
Off to Sorry End, where it wasn't gonna stay.

CHORUS: And the Bird changed hands the very next day And the bird changed hands - You just couldn't stop it The bird changed hands - and flew its merry way.

Geezy gave it to the Rangers for five hundred Crowns But it attracted spydroids, and trouble all around The Rangers took Bubblehead down BETA Mountain way It became the hacker's pet, but it wasn't gonna stay!

CHORUS Mugsie and Miller had to pull a job
As they both were working for Jackie Subtract's mob They busted into Longshot, shot Doc, and off they ran With Professor Bubblehead, and some Supertrooper plans.

CHORUS Kidd raided the Prarie Queen, looking for some loot Didn't get riches, but he thought the bird was cute. Bubblehead called Kidd "Daddy" and out to space they warped Back to Sorry End, but that's not the last report

CHORUS Kidd sold it to O'Mega, and she was off again Back to Entropy's Edge, to see her old friends But all hell broke loose when all parties crashed the scene Kidd got the bird again, and he left to see the Queen!

CHORUS The Queen was rather happy to see her bird again And she started planning to make some supermen But within the stolen info, there was a major bug Instead of Supertroopers, she had an overmuscled lug!
