At my game last night we are exploring the darklands on behalf of a huge dwarven metropolis. We had trouble remembering the name of the Dwarf town and half the time we just call it Dwarfopolis. So the idea popped into my head to call it Dwarfstantinople. Any way, that led to the song by They Might Be Giants. I reworked the lyrics and felt I should post them on here in the hopes that someone more musically inclined than I am could put together a nice Youtube parody video.
Now it's Elfstanbul, not Dwarfstantinople
Been a long time gone, Dwarfstantinople
Now it's Elvish delight on a moonlit night
Every gal in Dwarfstantinople
Lives in Elfstanbul, not Dwarfstantinople
So if you've a date in Dwarfstantinople
She'll be waiting in Elfstanbul
Even old New Orc was once New Halfling-Land
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way
So take me back to Dwarfstantinople
No, you can't go back to Dwarfstantinople
Been a long time gone, Dwarfstantinople
Why did Dwarfstantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Orcs
Elfstanbul (Elfstanbul)
Elfstanbul (Elfstanbul)
Even old New Orc was once New Halfling-Land
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way
Elfstanbul was Dwarfstantinople
Now it's Elfstanbul, not Dwarfstantinople
Been a long time gone, Dwarfstantinople
Why did Dwarfstantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Orcs
So take me back to Dwarfstantinople
No, you can't go back to Dawrfstantinople
Been a long time gone, Dwarfstantinople
Why did Dwarfstantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Orcs
Elfstanbul
