Summary: Once there was a Mountie
And Fraser was his name-oh.



Once there was a Mountie
And Fraser was his name-oh.
Name-oh, name-oh,
Fraser was his name-oh.

He was owned by a deaf-half-wolf
And he dressed all in red-oh.
Red-oh, red-oh,
Dressed all in red-oh.

He tracked his father’s killer to Chicago
And there met a man named Ray-oh.
Ray-oh, Ray-oh,
There met a man named Ray-oh.

And that killer they did chase
In Ray’s car of bright green-oh.
Green-oh, green-oh,
Ray’s car of bright green-oh.

But that killer was killed
By the master planner-oh.
Planner-oh, planner-oh,
By the master planner-oh.

So Fraser chased the planner
Right back to Canada-oh.
Canada-oh, Canada-oh,
Back to Canada-oh.

And the Mountie got his man
And it was his father’s friend-oh.
Friend-oh, friend-oh,
His father’s friend-oh.

As that man was a Mountie too
Fraser was sent back to Chicago-oh.
Chicago-oh, Chicago-oh,
Sent back to Chicago-oh.

There Fraser and Ray had some adventures
And they captured many villains-oh.
Villains-oh, villains-oh,
They captured many villains-oh.

But then that Ray had to leave,
He had a duty to his country-oh.
Country-oh, country-oh,
Had a duty to his country-oh.

And so Fraser met a new Ray
With hair that was very spiky-oh.
Spiky-oh, spiky-oh,
Hair that was very spiky-oh.

And this Ray had a car that was black
And he seemed to be quite gay-oh.
Gay-oh, gay-oh,
Seemed to be quite gay-oh.

And Fraser and this shiny new Ray,
Who shall henceforth be called RayK-oh.
RayK-oh, RayK-oh
Henceforth be called RayK-oh.

They captured many villains too,
While encountering rubber-ducks-oh.
Rubber-ducks-oh, rubber-ducks-oh,
Encountering rubber-ducks-oh.

And the danger they shared,
It drew them ever closer-oh.
Closer-oh, closer-oh,
Drew them ever closer-oh.

But then the first Ray did return
On the trail of some nerve-gas-oh.
Nerve-gas-oh, nerve-gas-oh
The trail of some nerve-gas-oh.

And the three of them did meet
And there was a lot of confusion-oh.
Confusion-oh, confusion-oh,
There was a lot of confusion-oh.

And the bad guy Muldoon got away,
He flew home to Canada-oh.
Canada-oh, Canada-oh,
He flew home to Canada-oh.

Fraser and RayK gave chase,
Hanging on the wing of a plane-oh.
Plane-oh, plane-oh,
Hanging on the wing of a plane-oh.

And Muldoon was captured
At the bottom of a mine-shaft-oh.
Mine-shaft-oh, mine-shaft-oh,
Bottom of a mine-shaft-oh.

But this made Fraser and RayK sad
Because they did not wish to part-oh.
Part-oh, part-oh,
Did not wish to part-oh.

So they confessed their love for one another
And dog-sledded into the sunset-oh.
Sunset-oh, sunset-oh,
Dog-sledded into the sunset-oh.

And everyone else had a happy ending too,
Except for the bad-guys-oh.
Bad-guys-oh, bad-guys-oh,
Except for the bad-guys-oh.

Fetch my guitar, Mabel, I feel a hootenanny comin' on!

Don't apologize for the length - it's spot on perfect for one of those righteous, serious folk songs of the "good old days." Geez, I wonder if Pete Seeger knew this one.

Never mind. Probably Paul Gross will put it on his next album.

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

Pete would've connected the whole thing to the unions-oh. *loves Pete*

I'm amazed he hasn't written something like it already. I'm glad you liked.

A filk! Yay! ROFL! Tongue-twisting lyrics in the filk tradition. "Chicago-oh" would be especially twisty.

And this Ray had a car that was black
And he seemed to be quite gay-oh.

Wonder what gave him away-oh,
Away-oh, away-oh? :)

[lucifercircle.livejournal.com]

That would be his hair-dye-oh and the way he stares at Fraser-oh.
Thank you for commenting. I'm glad you got a laugh out of it.

Gay-oh, gay-oh,
Seemed to be quite gay-oh.

*giggles rather a lot*

Great job!

I had a brief flash to Alice's Restaurant with this one (because Thanksgiving is nigh, and Alice's Restaurant is -- well. You know), and then there was spiky-oh and gay-oh and Canada-oh.

And now I'm having pig Latin flashbacks...

[custardpringle.livejournal.com]

I would pay large amounts of money or fic for someone to write a DS pastiche of "Alice's Restaurant."

Just sayin'.

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

*files bunny away*

[lucifercircle.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid I don't know what Alice's Restaurant is. (I'm from England.)
But I'm glad you liked this enough to comment.

Heh. Now is that 'homosexual' gay? Or is it 'happy' gay? Cause RayK always struck me as a happy guy... :)

[lucifercircle.livejournal.com]

Well when the song was originally written it meant happy. Now school kids snicker whenever they hear that line.
Glad you liked it, thanks.

[ultra-chrome.livejournal.com]

Woohoo! I adore your brain so much. You mentioned all the important stuff, like how Dief owns Fraser and RayK seeming gay-oh, and the rubber ducks!!!!!!

I've got a trippy little tune in my head for it now, too. I'll be singing it all night now.

See? I told you you rock!

[lucifercircle.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Although it's slightly depressing that this story already has more reviews than the stories I put a lot of effort into. This was just a bit of fun. Although I did have fun and other people seem to be too, so it's not all bad.

When I said your story was longer than I hoped, I meant that that was a good thing. Longer than I thought anyone would bother writting.

But I'm glad you enjoyed this anyway.

[ultra-chrome.livejournal.com]

I know what you mean about the reviews. I have been thinking about that very thing just lately.

But don't think for a minute that something fun and simple is any less worthy of praise. You get major points for making me smile!

Except for the bad-guys-oh.

[alwaysaddled.livejournal.com]

What do I think? I think it's hilarious.

Re: Except for the bad-guys-oh.

[lucifercircle.livejournal.com]

Thank you kindly!

Oddly enough, in my head this is sung to the song "Bingo," probably because of the line "And Bingo was his name-oh." But a fabulous work of genius, despite bringing flashbacks to my camp counselor days.

[lucifercircle.livejournal.com]

(Heh, I was a Girl Guide. And I did get the ohs from Bingo. But the 'and Fraser was his name-oh' got added at the very end.)

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you very much.

[ultra-chrome.livejournal.com]

Me too!!! That's the tune I was thinking of!!!
