Father Tom

A song about a supposed meeting between Father Thomas and the Dawn Patrol one early morning at Clan. Sung to the tune of A Space Oddity (Major Tom). (not the Peter Shcilling one): Written by Roger Shrubstaff

Dawn Patrol to Father Tom
Dawn Patrol to Father Tom
Grab your sword and put your armor on

Dawn Patrol to Father Tom
Commencing raid, ready, lay on

Check the weapon-- may the reeve look the other way

Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven Eight, Nine of us gainst one of you

This is Dawn Patrol to Father Tom
We're gonna take you out....
And we don't care if you're using fire ants...
Now it's time to leave your tent if you dare

This is Father Tom to Dawn Patrol
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm killing in a most satisfying way
And you're not gonna see another day

For here I'm armored like a tin can
far above your skills
am I compared t'you
And there's nothing you can do

Though I feel like I'm over one hundred years of age
I'm feeling very spry
And I think my sword arm knows which way to go
I'll tell your next of kin that you all blow

Dawn Patrol to Father Tom
You should be dead, it all went wrong
Can you spare me, Father Tom?
Can you spare me, Father Tom?
Can you spare me, Father Tom?
Can you....(thud)
