Lepidus

That Infamous Kin Killer
To the tune of "Charlie He's My Darlin'"

In times before the Lions
Filled Avalon with beer,
A chap called Mister Lepidus
Held all his own folks dear

In Lepidus's Boneyard,
Boneyard!
Boneyard!
Lepidus's Boneyard
The Shadows draw near!

Well, Lepidus, he lived in Marse
He loved its people well:
He picked their gristles from his teeth
And rang their funeral knell

In Lepidus's Boneyard,
Boneyard!
Boneyard!
In Lepidus's Boneyard
He sent them all to Hell!

The House of Demetus
They were a noble clan.
But now they're all excret-us
They're gobbled to a man!

In Lepidus's Boneyard,
Boneyard!
Boneyard!
Lepidus's Boneyard
He even ate his gran!

His family went for a stroll
In Avalon one night
Demetus said, "We'll rule one day,"
A Shadow answered, "Quite!:-

In Lepidus's Boneyard,
Boneyard!
Boneyard!
Lepidus's Boneyard!
It's pointless to fight!"

"Oh woe!" cried House Demetus
All white with mortal fear,
"For Lepidus will eat us
And never shed a tear

In Lepidus's Boneyard,
Boneyard!
Boneyard!
Lepidus's Boneyard
In dark time o' the year!"

He pinned them to the tombstones,
He ate their livers whole,
And they were still alive when
Their blood ran in the bowl

In Lepidus's Boneyard,
Boneyard!
Boneyard!
Lepidus's Boneyard:
'Twill chill your mortal soul!

He had their brains on toast and
Their guts for garters grey;
He laid 'em out upon the ground
Their dead skins for to flay

In Lepidus's Boneyard,
Boneyard!
Boneyard!
Lepidus's Boneyard!
Not one went astray!

He went down to the library
With blood upon his jaw,
He burned the family papers
And gave a mighty roar

And the bones in his Boneyard,
Boneyard!
Boneyard!
The bones in his Boneyard
Were picked by his jack-daw!

And when he wasn't hungry
His dark deeds to inspire
He watched the pretty flames grow
And burned them in the fire!

In Lepidus's Boneyard,
Boneyard!
Boneyard!
Lepidus's Boneyard
He did his deeds so dire!

When there was no one left to burn
And all were gobbled up,
He swilled 'em down with blood and bile
And then refilled his cup

In Lepidus's Boneyard,
Boneyard!
Boneyard!
Lepidus's Boneyard!
And then he threw them up!

And then he ate them once again
(He liked to eat things twice)
For a cousin eaten only once
Isn't half as nice

In Lepidus's Boneyard,
Boneyard!
Boneyard!
Lepidus's Boneyard!
The feast will suffice.

He killed the people called the Blood
Garotted young and old,
He made black puddings out of them
And let their corpses mould

In Lepidus's Boneyard,
Boneyard!
Boneyard!
Lepidus's Boneyard!
There's carnage untold!

When Lions came to Avalon
He beat a fast retreat:
Now he lurks beneath your bed,
There'll yet be food to eat

In Lepidus's Boneyard,
Boneyard!
Boneyard!
Lepidus's Boneyard!
It's useless to entreat!
