Close Shave
Added on Jun 16, 2012A song purchased from an old grebber and sung by Whatsit Nyli of House Fale.
Come gather 'round you grebbers
Who work for 'sid out there.
A trick played on a man named Teb
Did cause him to despair.
He came to town the other week,
His hard earned 'sid to trade.
'Twas there he met a pretty girl
Who did his heart betray.
Her lips were red as roses,
Her eyes a sapphire blue,
Long hair as black as all the 'sid
She stole from folks like you.
She took him to a drinking inn
And there they did imbibe
In ale and burning whiskey,
And dreadful stuff beside.
It's then she asked him up to bed,
To which he did agree,
But truth to tell Teb fell asleep
Before she earned her fee.
When he awoke next morning
No trousers could be found,
But there were women's clothes so fine
Scattered all around.
His jacket, shoes and 'sid had gone
And all that's left there is
A woman's dress, a long-haired wig,
And a shaving blade, not his.
Why did she need the wig?
Why did she need to shave?
It's then the truth it struck him
In a fit of blinding rage.
His pretty girl's a man, he cried,
Be thanks he fell asleep.
He'd rather lose a bag of 'sid
Than face that thievin' creep.
To venture in the street again,
He cautiously inclined.
He had a shave, put on the wig,
And wore the dress so fine.
And as he walked along the road,
A grebber gave a wink.
He thought of all the 'sid he'd lost...
...
So Teb offered him a drink.
Come gather 'round you grebbers
Who work for 'sid out there.

Did cause him to despair.
