The Otter's Hat

Well I was sittin' in a 'net cafe, just ketchin' up the thread of Time. Swappin' OTC stories with this ole OTTer friend of mine. When some tread outsiders started snickerin' in the back started pokin' fun at my friend's hat. One ole boy said "hey Pal, looks like dogbert's thing moved north". My friend just pulled his hat down low, but they couldn't be ingnored. One husky fellow said, I think I'll rip that hat right off your head. That's when my friend turned around, and this is what he said..... You'll ride the Zanclean flood, 'til the Med-sea's filled high Rope a black raptorcat and milk it till it's dry Ride a castle-raft up the Rhone, till it's reached the flat... Long before you take this OTTer's hat.... Now partner, this ole hat is better left alone, She used to be buffygirl's, but her haberdash'n's passed on. TheMinim trained the Rattler that makes up this ole hatband, Back on np753 before Time had reached its End Now the raptor feather was given to me by a Grumbly friend of mine But someone ran him away, somethin' 'bout sigs that crossed the line And a real Helpful lady gave me this hat pin But I don't know when she'll see her wolpy again. You'll ride the Zanclean flood, 'til the Med-sea's filled high Rope a black raptorcat and milk it till it's dry Ride a castle-raft up the Rhone, till it's reached the flat... Long before you take this OTTer's hat Now if your outsider ways mean to you what this hat means to me Then I guess we understand each other, and we'll just let it be. But if you still think it's funny, man, you got my back up against the wall. And if you touch my hat, your gonna have to fight us all... Well, right then I caught a little sadness in that outsider's eyes, And he turned back t'wards the others and they all just sorta shuffled on outside But when my friend turned back t'wards me, I noticed his old hat brim Well it was turned up.. in a big ole OTTer grin You'll ride the Zanclean flood, 'til the Med-sea's filled high Rope a black raptorcat and milk it till it's dryThis OTTer's Hat Ride a castle-raft up the Rhone, till it's reached the flat... Long before you take this OTTer's hat
