The Fish Praise
Ye swim beneath our Abbey pond,
we don't know how ye got there.
But our otters, badger and hedgehogs eat thee,
so do our mice, squirrel and mole.
We praise to ye this blessed summer day,
and ask the fates to keep it this way,
so we will know of no famine!!

MoonStrike's Traveling Song
I walk this dusty path,
That so many creatures before me have trod,
It makes me glad to be here now,
Glad to be here now.
But tomorrow I'll be further on,
Beyond the new horizon,
And I'll be glad to be there then,
Glad to be there then.
I have no fears or worries for myself,
My concern is for only others,
So I'll be glad to walk with you,
Glad to walk with you.
I'll share my sup with you,
For sharing your journey with me,
It's a glad night around a fire,
Glad night 'round a fire.
Vermin beware my wanderings,
Should ever our ways be crossed,
For I'll be glad to send you to the Darkgate,
Glad to send you to Hellgate.
Give me friend, food, and staff at hand,
And I'll travel the world over twice,
Quite glad to go with you,
Glad to go with you.

THE INVITATION
"Come, dear wanderer, come to Redwall,
where the dibbuns play all day,
come, dear wanderer, come to Redwall,
where good food is there for all,
come dear wanderer, come to Redwall,
where old friends come to stay,
come, dear wanderer, come to Redwall,
when goodbeasts gather at Redwall!"
"Alas, good madam, I wish I could stay,
where the dibbuns play all day,
alas, good madam, I wish I could stay,
where good food is there for all,
alas, good madam, I wish I could stay,
where old friends come to stay,
alas, good madam, I wish I could stay,
when goodbeasts gather at Redwall!"
"Pray tell why you shouldn't stay,
where the dibbuns play all day,
pray tell why you shouldn't stay,
where good food is there for all,
pray tell why you shouldn't stay,
where old friends come to stay,
pray tell why you shouldn't stay,
when goodbeasts gather at Redwall!"
"This invitation you had given me,
it sounds very nice,
but I hope you will see,
I can not stay among these moles, badgers, hares and mice,
for, in the end, I am not a goodbeast at all,
but a rat plotting for the ruin of Redwall!"
