splash go the boots

Verse 1

The river was wide and the water was cold,

A terrible sight for the brave and the bold.

The party stood back, they started to doubt,

But the brave, silly fighter just started to shout!

Chorus

Splash go the boots and splash go the toes!

Watch out, my friends, for that is how it goes!

A tankard of ale for the brave and the bold,

And a blanket for those who are soaking and cold!

Verse 2

The fighter dove in without a second thought,

He did not care if he got caught.

He swam like a duck right over the flood,

And landed ashore with his face in the mud!

Chorus

Splash go the boots and splash go the toes!

Watch out, my friends, for that is how it goes!

A tankard of ale for the brave and the bold,

And a blanket for those who are soaking and cold!

Verse 3

The barbarian laughed and flexed her big arm,

She said, "I will keep our dear cleric from harm!"

She picked up the priest and gave him a throw,

But her aim was too short, and down he did go!

Verse 4

The cleric went under, unable to swim,

We prayed that the gods had some mercy on him!

So the barbarian dived with a loud, mighty roar,

And dragged the wet holy man back to the shore!

Chorus

Splash go the boots and splash go the toes!

Watch out, my friends, for that is how it goes!

A tankard of ale for the brave and the bold,

And a blanket for those who are soaking and cold!

Verse 5

The druid ran fast and tried a long jump,

But tripped on a root and went down with a bump!

He fell in the creek with a terrible scream,

And floated away like a log down the stream!

Verse 6

The bard dove right in with a heroic grace,

And outswam the druid to finish the race!

He pulled the poor nature-man up by his hair,

And left him ashore to just gasp for some air!

Outro

So here’s to the river, and here’s to the toss,

And here’s to the party that barely got across!
