Are you in a Play ~ Keridwen o'r Mynydd Gwyrdd

On afternoons when it's sunny, you can find us in the park.
The passersby think we look funny, but some stay and wait until dark.
Oh, some of us wear shining armour and song wear long gowns and a cloak.
We talk about chivalry and honor and smile at the mundane folk.

CHORUS
And then we hear somebody say, excuse me are you in a play?
Or could it be some new religion, oh why are you dressed this way?
And though e might like to explain "the monarchy's back, and we're taking over!"
We manage somehow to refrain
and just say we're the SCA.

Once on our way to a tourney, we stopped at a store for advice,
So we could continue our journey, or our map had us lost in a trice.
The man at the store was so friendly and only to willing to please.
He pointed our way out quite readily. We thanked him and turned to leave.

CHORUS
Substitute 3rd line for: (We took a wrong turn back in ten sixty six)

While traveling to far away places, we stopped for a call late at night
With our cloaks and grim looks on our faces, we must of been a strange sight.
For a woman who ame through the doorway, made a comment which caused us to smile,
"They look just like witches" We heard her say, so we cackled and continued to dial.

CHORUS
(We're born again druids protecting the trees)

In St. Andrews tonight there's a revel. So we might as well spend the whole day.
In that city it won't be unusual, if we go in garb anyway.
So we'll stroll by the wharf with cloaks flying and look at the shops in the square
and we'll know as we walk by them smiling, that we are the normal ones there.

CHORUS
(Have you seen our social workers anywhere about?)

In the fair isles over in London, you go to a practice one day.
Other lands have strange words and strange customs, but you have great fun anyway.
So you leave on a tube, that's a subway, and then your heart starts to sink.
For a person is blocking you pathway, a bobby the call them I think.

CHORUS
And then you hear somebody say "Excuse me, but could you explain to me,
Just why you're wearing that knife, and give me you name, address, phone number
date and place of birth, passport number, reason for being in the country and by the way
"Are you in a play?"
Or could it be some new religion? Oh why are you dressed this way?
And though you might like to explain, "Knife? What knife? Oh that?
That's just an overgrown toothpick." But you think that it's best to refrain,
and just say we're the SCA.
