Notes from Mikal:
Years ago, I met the ladies of Harpies' Hall, the deadliest group of costumers on the Knowne Planet! I wanted a song for them, and all I could hear in my head was "Girls just wanna have fun." This came out of the mix...

Where go the maids on summer's day
When the Falcon bears their men away

Chorus
Sing willow-a willow-a way hey hey
Sing willow-a willow-a way

Gone to the hall to step a dance
While their good lovers break a lance

Chorus

And drink they mead where it is kept
While their good lovers drink their sweat

Chorus

And trade they kisses with young beaus
While their good husbands trade at blows

Chorus

And when the Falcon comes to nest
They welcome their good men to rest

Chorus

For lords may ken to battle's run
But a lady too will have her fun

Chorus
