Oh I Wish That Weren't a Yeti, No Way

Stand easy, men!

When Mike Selinker and I were designing Yetisburg, Mike had this awesome idea to write a bunch of Yeti-themed songs based on the actual soldiering songs of the American Civil War and sprinkle them throughout the rulebook. Unfortunately for Mike, those songs proved too big for our little rulebook and only one, Dixie, was left in. Fortunately for you, the outstanding Paizo blog reader, we're going to share all of them with you now!

Dixie
(Oh I Wish That Weren't a Yeti)

Oh I wish that weren't a Yeti,
No way, no way

In Dixie Land it's not so grand
To be eaten by a Yeti

Run away, run away,
Run away now from the Yeti!

Abominable Hymn of the Snowman

Mine eyes have seen a Yeti
On whose tusks my friends are gored;
He is trampling through the Cavalry
And cannot be ignored;
'Twould protest this incursion
But his rage I can't afford;
I hope he'll soon be gone!

The Yetis are Marching Home

The Yetis are marching home again,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
To join their belov'd Canadians,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
It was great when they battled by our side
And great when so many of them died
And we'll all exhale as the
Yetis go marching home!

All credit for the songs should go to Mike Selinker. Yetisburg is available now on paizo.com and will soon be available at your local game store.

Beware the Yeti!
