PIECES OF XANTH
sung to the tune of Jewel's song Pieces of You

she's a gorgon, can she turn you to stone?
she's a gorgon, did Humfrey hide her face?
she's a gorgon, she's married to a gnome.
she's a gorgon, do you finally feel safe?
gorgon, gorgon, do you hate her, cause she's pieces of Xanth?

she's a pretty nymph, does she live in the caves?
she's a pretty nymph, does she spread gems around?
she's a pretty nymph, is she married to Crombie?
she's a pretty nymph, does she have the same name as me?
pretty nymph, pretty nymph, do you hate her, cause she's pieces of Xanth?

you say he's a dragon, does it make you want to slay him?
you say he's a dragon, does it make you want to run and hide?
you say he's a dragon, does he have a furnace in his stomach?
you say he's a dragon, are you afraid he'll roast you in flame?
dragon, dragon, do you hate him, cause he's pieces of Xanth?

you say he's an ogre, does it mean that he's dumb?
you say he's an ogre, does he want to crunch your bones?
you say he's an ogre, does he talk in funny rhymes?
you say he's an ogre, as though being a monster was a crime.
ogre, ogre, do you hate him, cause he's pieces of Xanth?
do you hate him, cause he's pieces of Xanth?
