Norwescon music, take two

Cat and I worked on this Friday and performed it at the con. Here's the new, improved, official version. -- Callie ------- nwc.song
No Selling Songs
ttto: Oh Garibaldi, by Cat Faber

"Will you come to the Con?" said the innocent filking chair,
"Oh please won't you come to sing and play?"
So we came to the con, and they said, "Here's your concert slot, but no selling songs here today."

Chorus:

    Oh, no selling songs, if you've no dealer's table     Though the authors sign books and the artists display     Tapes and CDs threaten somebody's profits -     There'll be no selling songs here today.

Y'know there's gas and there's food, not to mention hotel room We have paid for the chance to come and play Since some dealers called dibs on any spare money There'll be no selling songs here today.

Just a couple of dealers, and their con liaison said
"You'll draw us a crowd with wealth to disburse--
But you can't sell your songs here." Welcome to Norwescon Whose heart seems to lie in its purse.

So we ain't gonna tell you we have a CD out, And we're hoping to make another someday; If we dared to say more, then security might nab us There'll be no selling songs here today.
