heh, well I dispute the discription 'brilliant', but here they are anyway:
<blockquote><hr>
Old Minoc Fair
Are you goin to old Minoc fair? Mandrake root, ginsing and black pearl
Remember me to one who lives there, he once was a true love of mine.
Tell him to make me a round metal shield, Mandrake root, ginsing and black pearl
Without no forge nor hammer to wield, then he'll be a true love of mine
Tell him to find me a large plot of land, Mandrake root, ginsing and black pearl
Between Minoc Moongate and the sea strand, then he'll be a true love of mine
Tell him to build me a circular home, Mandrake root, ginsing and black pearl
with no straight walls and an top a big dome, then he'll be a true love of mine
Are you goin to old Minoc fair? Mandrake root, ginsing and black pearl
Remember me to one who lives there, he once was a true love of mine

Yes Flutter, it is based on the old English folk song, Scarborough Fair, which has been recorded by Simon and Garfunkel
