Aeslin Mice

Huh. Just realized I never posted this!

This is, of course, fan-filk about seananmcguire's Incryptid series.

Aeslin Mice
By Lisa Padol (drcpunk) (with help from Joshua Kronengold) (who wrote the parts she didn’t and then fixed the parts she did)
May be sung to the tune of Elelweiss (Rogers & Hammerstein)

A minor note: Aeslin is pronounced "ash-lin" like the name.
Also, this is written as a duet. All caps are the mice. Things with a slash are gender-variant versions. Indented lines are spoken word.

Aeslin mice, Aeslin mice
Every morning you greet me

HAIL THE SINGING PRIESTESS / HAIL THE GOD OF SONG AND SILENCE

Small and light, brown and white
Every day you entreat me

GIVE US CAKE!
I have a cupcake. Will that do?
YAY, CAKE! ALL HAIL!

Long may your colony live and grow,
Live and grow benignly,
Aeslin mice, Aeslin mice
Chronicle a divine me.

ON THIS DAY THE PRIESTESS/GOD BLESSED THE COLONY!
What!? Sure, ok, whatever.

[During this verse the mise are sneaky]
Aeslin Mice, Aeslin Mice,
You guys are really sneaky,
Following day and night,
Starts to get really freaky.

Although I love you, I need to roam.
Need to rom-ance privately,
Can I please offer cheese,
For some hours of privacy.

AND THUS WAS THE ANCIENT CONTRACT RENEWED! FOOD FOR PRIVACY!
I also got another cupcake.
HAIL!
Alright--that’ll buy us about three hours.

[Priestess/God] Aeslin Mice, Aeslin Mice Teach the next generation, Though your faith is not ours You might be our salvation

[Mice] La la la - lal la la Teach the next generation, Though our faith is not yours You are our revelation

[ALL]
In your scriptures is every Price, In our scriptures is every Price
(and) Every price that we have paid,
(for) What we’ve learned, trust we’ve earned,
Help us keep what we’ve all made,

Family feud, Family wooed,
We will keep what we’ve all made.
