lyrics

(Original for reference: http://www.thefump.com/fump.php?id=1664)

It was the best LARP ever
The Prince and Sheriff weren't too clever
And hardly any of our coterie got staked
Except for George, but he deserved it
He kept doing really dumb shit
And when we diablerized his guy
I swear to God he almost cried
And when he came back in the game
With his new ghoul mage werewolf kinfolk
We sold him out to some wraiths who soulforged an ashtray
Best LARP ever!

It was the best LARP ever!
I took his trenchcoat of black leather
Then we hopped aboard the plot train
Let it take us for a ride
But then George came back
And this time he was a Gangrel
Who refused to leave his bat form
But always tried to start a fight
And that's exactly what he did with this poor Goth kid
In the alley behind the club who turned out to be Malkav in disguise
Best. LARP. Ever.
Cause George's Gangrel's head got severed
And he came back in the game while we were in these catacombs
To fight ur-Shulgi
This time he played a Malkavian
Who hated both of our Tzimisce
But somehow knew Vicissitude
And when we reached ur-Shulgi's haven George tried to stake him with a sea bass
So we torpored George ourselves and killed ur-Shulgi in THREE ROUNDS!
Best LARP ever!
It was the best LARP ever!

And when we got back to Elysium
To wind the chronicle down
George was there as a Lasombra antitribu with a gun
And as we sucked up to the Prince he just whipped out Obtenebration
And straight broke the Masquerade right there in front of everyone
So we picked up our katanas
And as he died he swore
He would never LARP with us again as long as he lived
BEST! LARP! EVER!
Saved the whole damn Camarilla
Just like something out of Thriller
And we racked up the XP
And we will never have to deal with George's bullshit
In another LARP again
That is, at least until next week
Because he is lead Storyteller
And there's nowhere else to play
A World of Darkness game in town
And we won't switch to D&D
And I know you had to be there
But I swear by all that's holy
Victory was sweeter than Vitae could ever be
Best LARP ever...
