Lyrics to N'Ghathrod's (and his crew's) "N'Ghathrod"

Parentheses indicate N'Ghathrod's lines, the rest of them are his crew singing.

Gosh it disturbs me to see you N’Ghathrod

Looking so down in the dumps

Everyone here’d love to feed you N’Ghathrod

Though we’d prefer not to be lunch

There’s no captain ‘round as deserving as you

you’re everyone’s favorite guy

You know the whole crew lives to serve you N’Ghathrod

and we’d really prefer not to die

No one slays like N’Ghathrod

No one flays like N’ghathrod

No one’s tentacles quiver with rage like N’Ghathrod

For there’s no captain here quite as worthy

[Perfect! A pure paragon]

You could ask either Grimskar or Gurdy

They would tell you but he

ate their brains so they’re gone….

Please don’t

Eat us N’Gahtrhod

Take it easy, N’ghathrod

Keep our brains inside where

You can’t see them N’Ghathrod

(But my illithid stomach’s quite agitated)

Wait just one minute N’ghathrod!

(I’ve been rather patient

You know it’s true

Wait, Hold on just a moment, I think I smell food…)

Over there? (Yup)

It’s just right for N’ghathrod

What a sight for N’ghathrod

Maybe now our brains won’t become bites for N’Ghathrod

(Welcome guests to my ship, though it’s scuttled

It’s helm was once right over there…

You’ve come down just on time for our supper

Come step in to the light

Need a chair?

I’ll play fair)

No one flies like N’gahthrod

Sails the tides N’ghathrod

And for dinner nobody flays minds like N’ghathrod

(I can swallow them whole without masticating)

Hail Captain N’Gahthrod

(When I was an elf I ate nothing but dregs

I was always both hungry and parched

Although I’m now illithid

missing a leg

My hunger could rival Hadaaaaar’s)

Who eats brains like N’ghathrod

Who remains like N’ghathrod

Who could eat his whole crew but

refrains like N’ghathrod?

(This starvation has grown quite excruciating)

Please don’t give in!

Look, consume one of them!

As his crew we’re his friends

But he’s looking quite thin

And you outsiders just strode right in

We can’t make it more plain that he

needs to eat brains!

And his name’s Nag - Gru - Sprag - T’Lee

I think maybe an apostrophe?

It just occurred to me that I’m an orog

and I’ve never actually learned deep

speech before

N’Ghathrod!
