The #keenspace Song

To the tune of Billy Joel's "Piano Man"

Lyrics by Michael "Mc" Martin and A Man In Black, with creative input by Matt Wilson. Inspired by a /quit message by John "Spork" Troutman.

It's half-past-nine on a Saturday
The regular crowd's clicking in
There's an old hand sitting next to me
Makin' love to his tonic and gin.
He says, "Mc, can you draw me a cameo,
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes."
La la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da
Chorus:
Let's draw our strips, we're the #keenspacers
Spork drew his strips last night
Well, we're all in the mood for a comedy
If we aren't the jokes, it's alright.
Now John is an op, and a friend of mine
He gets me my links for free
And he's quick with a joke or to cameo your folk
But there's someplace that he'd rather be.

He says "Mc, I believe this is killing me,"
As the smile ran away from his face.
"Well, I'm sure I could be a big comic star,
If I could get off of the 'Space..."


Oh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da
Now Dave is a Keenspotted artist
(Who's never had time for a life)
And he's talkin' with Lazy, who's still going crazy
And probably will be for life.

Well, they're muttering and fighting in #comicstrips
While #webcomics turns into porn
Yes, we're sharing a drink called obscurity
But it's better than drinking alone.
Chorus
It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And a few readers do crack a smile
Course it's not probably Merlin's Crew that they see
Most strips won't get seen for a while

Karva is scaring off normals
While Poe is heading for the door
And bruk's being odd and over there's sitting Todd,
saying, "Damonk's a freak and a bore..."


Oh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da
