OLD GHARLANE
Lyrics by Arthur Levesque -- bs@boog.org -- http://boog.org
(To the tune of "Penny Lane" by John Lennon and Paul McCartney)


On Tellus there was an island they call Atlantis
Where everyone was such a pleasure to know
And when old Gharlane saw them acting so
They had to go

And then later Nero threatened the Pax Romana
The gladiators had to plot behind his back
But the plotters needed just one fact
Emperor Nero's brain
Was Gharlane

Old Gharlane, the bottled brain, is such a pain
Hits the Earth, Rigel, and then Palain
Then turns and comes right back...

When old Gharlane came back again it was the modern age
And in his rage he started a destructive spree
The War to End All Wars filled him with glee
So did Two and Three

Old Gharlane, the bottled brain, is such a pain
Tellus fried, he took a ride, time to bide
Meanwhile back

After the slaughter of the Atom Wars Arisia
Came out of hiding, helping people to their feet
And since Gharlane assumed that they were beat
His absence, complete

Roger was a gray pirate attacking Tellus ships
Conway Costigan taken hostage broke his chain
And then the Patrolman flushes him down the ether drain
Poor Gharlane

Old Gharlane, the bottled brain, is such a pain
Hits the Earth, Rigel, and then Palain
Then turns and comes right back...

Old Gharlane, the bottled brain, is such a pain
Hits the Earth, Rigel, and then Palain
Old Gharlane
