A few years back, Justin Cryder decided that 1st Group needed a theme song to sing at taverns and inns when their adventures were over. He set his unique songwriting talents to the task, and the result was the anthem known only as “The 1st Group Theme Song.” This song has been sung by the group on one or two occasions, most notably in Steve's basement, where there were large glass mugs to swing around. The text of the song, whose tune is not comparable to any other piece of music I've ever heard, is below. Hopefully, we'll eventually get the group to sing it again, so it can be recorded for posterity and posted on this page as a wav file.
The 1st Group Theme Song
Composed by Justin Cryder
Oh, pull up a chair,
Join me over here!
Here, have a drink,
It will help you think.
Raise your glasses high!
Higher than the sky!
Drink the hardy brew,
Its taste will overcome you.
For we're all friends,
friends to the end
'cause it's all for one
and one for all
whether you're big or small
or fat or tall
just remember this song
wherever you may roam
and it will take you home
Hey you all alone
come over here don't groan
don't even try to run
'cause drinking alone ain't much fun
join us in our merry song
it helps to pass the time along
the word's aren't very hard to learn
and the melody's of no concern
For we're all friends,
friends to the end
'cause it's all for one
and one for all
whether you're big or small
or fat or tall
just remember this song
wherever you may roam
and it will take you home
Oh take my advice
no strings attached, no price
an ale or two a day
will surely keep the doctor away
So raise your glasses high!
Higher than the sky!
Drink the hardy brew,
its taste will overcome you.
For we're all friends,
friends to the end
'cause it's all for one
and one for all
whether you're big or small
or fat or tall
just remember this song
wherever you may roam
and it will take you home.
(Note: No one has ever been able to ascertain exactly what this song has to do with adventuring or 1st Group, but it somehow seems appropriate to sing after killing 36 goblins.)
