"The Ballad of the Avalonauts"

To the song "The Ballad Of Magellan" from Animaniacs,
Lyrics by Batya "The Toon" Levin

There once was a gargoyle, his name was Goliath,
A valiant warrior of honor and pride.
He set off with Tom when the eggs were in danger,
With Elisa his friend and his hound at his side.
Whoopi-ti-yi-yo, oh noble Goliath,
Leaving Manhattan, the eggs to defend,
Whoopi-ti-yi-yo, strong brave Goliath,
You'll get back home someday, you just don't know when.

They reached the fair isle and met all the hatchlings,
Then fought off the Archmage and the Weird Sisters three.
The battle was over, they thought they'd go home now,
Instead they got sent where they needed to be.
Whoopi-ti-yi-yo, get ready, Goliath,
Another adventure is just round the bend,
Whoopi-ti-yi-yo, dont worry, Goliath,
You'll get back home someday, you just dont know when.

The first stop was Scotland, the old site of Wyvern,
It got kind of spooky and ghosts came to gloat
Got tricked by the spirits of the Captain and Hakon,
Escaped with some help and it's back to the boat.
Whoopi-ti-yi-yo, take heart, Goliath,
The Captain's forgiven, all's well in the end,
Whoopi-fi-yi-yo, keep poling, Goliath,
You'll get back home someday, you just don't know when.

To Canada next, with Grandmother and Raven,
A brief flash back home to the clan all agog,
Then Scotland again with a few Loch Ness Monsters,
And things just get weirder with a Golem in Prague.
Whoopi-ti-yi-yo, cheer up, Goliath,
Next stop is Paris to tie up loose ends,
Whoopi-ti-yi-yo, be patient, Goliath,
You'll get back home someday, you just dont know when.

From Britain to Egypt to somewhere in Ireland,
Australia, Africa, onward they go.
King Arthur's gone off to New York in the meantime,
Excalibur's found and now back to our show.
Whoopi-ti-yi-yo, what's wrong, Goliath?
You're Angela's dad and Elisa's best friend,
Whoopi-ti-yi-yo, hang on, Goliath,
You'll get back home someday, you just dont know when.

Met Odin in Norway, who wanted his eye back,
New Olympia, rainforest country, Japan,
Helped Dad and SisMaza out in Arizona,
Then Avalon once more to fight-for the clan.
Ay-yi-yi-yi, oh poor Goliath,
This song and the journey keep darting again,
Whoopi-ti-yi-yo, one more verse, Goliath,
You'll get back home someday, you just dont know when.

At last they approached what they thought was Manhattan,
But it soon became clear they were down on their luck,
Had thirty years passed and the whole world gone crazy?
No, just a cheap trick by that little rat Puck.
'Whoopi-ti-yi-yo, be strong, Goliath,
The Gath'ring approaches, all journeys must end,
Whoopi-ti-yi-yo, guess what, Goliath,
You're finally back home, to the joy of the fen!
