24 Earth Years Clutch

[Hook]
I don't know, but I've been told I'm about 24 Earth years old
And come my next birthday, it'll be a quarter century
I don't know, but I have heard a gnome from the old world say these words
"Take a look now what the cat dragged in: a red/dead woodpecker and two of my kin"

Back in 1980, we played the AD&D
That game was harder than the Elfstones of Shannara
My character was baffling, a druid, wizard, halfling
On top of that he was master of psionic powers

Bring on the hordes, we have the sword
That smote the Goblin of Gygaxnor
Pray that the sisters name us as victors
Of the twenty sided die, yeah

[Hook]

Long ago in Middle Earth
A man could measure all his worth
By his blade and by his staff
And by the runes on his epitaph

Go mount your horse and ride up north
To seek the Baron of the Frozen Berg
Ask for assistance in the resistance
Of the twenty sided die
