Xena: The Filksong

digresssmlOriginally published May 22, 1998, in Comics Buyer’s Guide #1279

And now, with the artistic assist of Mr. Richard Howell, and the lyrical aid of Kathleen O’Shea—and in the spirit of this issue’s CBG theme—BID presents a musical interlude that will be of great amusement to Xena fans and utterly incomprehensible to anyone who doesn’t watch the series. The tune to which the following is set should be immediately obvious (Hint: No, it’s not “The Yellow Rose of Texas.”)

Dahok, Dahok!

Dahok come and we wanna go home

Day,

Mr. Day, Mr. Day, Mr. Day

Mr. Dayhok—

Dayhok come and we wanna go home.

 

Work all night for an evil god

Dayhok come and we wanna go home

He wants Gabrielle for her bod’

Dayhok come and we wanna go home

 

He’ll take her and we don’t mean maybe

Dayhok come and we wanna go home

As a a vessel for his baby

Dayhok come and we wanna go home

 

Day,

Mr. Dayhok—

Dayhok come and we wanna go home

Day

Mr. Dayhok—

Dayhok come and we wanna go home

 

It’s pray and chant and spill some blood

Dayhok come and we wanna go home

Make the biggest splash since the flood

 

Dayhok come and we wanna go home

Gabrielle place her trust in Xena

Dayhok come and we wanna go home

Dayhok win cause he so much meaner

Dayhok come and we wanna go home

 

Day,

Mr. Dayhok—

Dayhok come and we wanna go home

Day

Mr. Dayhok—

Dayhok come and we wanna go home

 

Ares warned her but she ain’t listenin’

Dayhok come and we wanna go home

—So he won’t come to the christenin’

Dayhok come and we wanna go home

Dayhok’s plan soon will be unfurled

Dayhok come and we wanna go home

This day, Xena, tomorrow the world

Dayhok come and we wanna go home

 

Day,

Mister Day Mister Day Mister Dayhok—

Dayhok come and we wanna go home

  1. Oh stars.

    I hadn’t realized how much I’ve been looking forward to seeing this again. One more joyous memory restored!

    And the fact I did not watch Xena that much doesn’t change the fact I got the whole fool thing.

    Of course, when I started reading I thought there was supposed to be something about a buff barbarian. But that just means there’s another to look forward to, I hope.

    Going to stop and bask in it some more. Such fun!!
