DESCRIPTION:
I'd been itching to get a video of this out for a while, so when I was in Dallas on spring break I dressed up the living room a bit and dashed this off on the upright! I'll admit that the character Cyril from the webcomic Todd Allison and the Petunia Violet (read here: http://petuniaviolet.com/ though at your own risk, since it's been on an unannounced hiatus for about half a year) was the main inspiration for this song, but the character of my Cyril has drifted quite a ways from him and I can't really call them the same. Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy this old-timey bar tune!

Lyrics:

Cyril, dear, all knives and piercings
Wear your hair long like your earrings
Slip a tip to the bartender
He will notice your age but not show it

Cyril, Cyril!
You’ve got him buckled
Cyril, Cyril...

Cyril, dear, six-chamber—pocket.
Back door—lock it.
She’s breathing—stop it.
Cyril, sweep past the bartender
Stunned, he’s no threat, but he’s not this buckled!

Cyril, Cyril!
So now he’s buried
Cyril, Cyril...

Cyril, dear, all knives and tall tales
Wear your hair long like your red nails
Slip a tip to the bartender
Did you forget that you do not know her?

Cyril, Cyril!
Teenagers get nothing
Cyril, Cyril!
Guess you won’t get a drink
Cyril, Cyril!
Cyril, Cyril!
Cyril, Cyril…


May it be noted I do not condone underage drinking.
