Always a Herald
To the tune of Always a Woman, by Billy Joel
He can call you in court
And bring tears to your eyes
He can lose your device
In his casual files
And he only will read
What is in Heraldese
He draws like a child
But he's always a herald to me
He will take your device
He can pass you or fail you
You can show him your proof
But he'll never believe you
And he'll take your four copies
Along with his fee
Yeah he charges too much
But he's always a herald to me
Oh, he takes care of your name
It can wait if he wants
He is always behind
And he never gives out
He just keeps taking in
And gets further behind
And he'll summon you forth
In front of the kingdom
Then he casually praise you
And smile while your kneeling
But he'll shout out your name
Just as wrong as can be
Blame it all on the scribe
Cause he's always a herald to me
Hum Chorus
He's frequently loud
And he's seldomly clear
He cries poorly at Pennsic
For he's full of cheap beer
He can't be retired
He does it for free
And the most he will do
Is shout 'Oyez' at you
But he's always a herald to me
Chorus
Hum Chorus
