        G                                                  C
Our shire's reputation is its annual event,
D                         C               G
Capped by the feasting, a joy for all who went.
                              C
But Kingdom had a problem and said to our surprise,
     D                          C              G
"Can you do Coronation?" and we tripled in our size.

	              D                      G
CH:	And there was cursin', and there was bitchin',    
               D                  G
	There was total chaos in the kitchen,
	           D                      G
	There were oaths cried I'll not retell
	       C          D          G
	At the Coronation Feast From Hell.

The royal allergy list blew our menu up in smoke,
With too little freezer space bulk buying is a joke.
The carrots had a recall,our little fishies hid,
Smelt is what they were and by Saturday what they did.  CH.

The kitchen plumbing leaked an inch of water on the floor,
Real Life grabbed our feastocrat, she wasn't there 'til four,
And when it seemed we had at last collected all our wits 
Tornadoes in the county put the power on the fritz.  CH.

We worked some makeshift wonders  while court ran very long,
Spam, pizza, M&Ms, and nothing else went wrong,
The candle-lit feast hall looked absolutely great,
Good thing no one criticized the things upon their plate. 	CH.

Though when it all was over the new king gave us thanks,
We got a few awards, some orders swelled their ranks.
But I recall the panic, the Prozac and the din: 
His Majesty requests that we do it once again.
    There will be cursin',  there will be bitchin',
    There'll be total chaos in the kitchen,
    There'll be oaths cried I'll not retell
    At the Crown Tourney Feast from Hell !
