Baker you're a boy make a big noise
Playin' on the 'net gonna be a big man some day
You got dough on yo' face
You big disgrace
Bakin' ideas all over the place
Singin'

We will we will bake you
We will we will bake you

Baker you're a young man hard man
Your halfbaked ideas are gonna change the world some day
You got dough on yo' face
You big disgrace
Rubbin' out banner ads all over the place
Singin'

We will we will bake you
We will we will bake you

Baker you're an old man poor man
With halfbaked ideas to bring world peace some day
You got dough on your face
You big disgrace
Somebody better put you back in your place

We will we will bake you
We will we will bake you

       UB, I stay up all night just to see postings like this...... it's 12:20 am here....what time is it there?

       Try it with "We are the Champions"   

       "I've posted my ideas... Time after time.... I've gotten my fishbones... But commited no crime...   

       And bad ideas.... I've had a few.... I've had my share of custard thrown in my face... But I've come through...."
Susen, May 04 2001
  

       Glory, Glory, Hallelujah! I knew it wouldn't take you long, UB. Good show. Again.   

       Susen, I think your version might be better for the standard Halfbaker's Anthem. The part about "committed no crimes" might not work as well for Guerrilla Halfbakers.
beauxeault, May 04 2001
  

       Wonderful! Will the Guerilla Halfbakers get to wear custard-colo(u)red berets when we sing this? How about a presidential seal (for the Cherished Luminary-in-Chief) with the words "In Crustum Credo" around the croissant?
1percent, May 04 2001
  

       1percent: I like the berets and especially the motto.   

       UB: I feel a bit like I'm trying to gild the lily, but your use of the words "battle hymn" inspired the following effort, which I think has some small merit:   

       *The Battle Hymn of the Guerrilla Halfbakers*   

       ...by Julia Would and How...   

       Mine eyes have seen the glory of halfbakers in the streets.
We are trampling pigs and chickens 'til they turn to Liquid Meat.
We have loosed Guerrilla Pedants on the language-indiscreet.
Guerrillas: Halfbake on!
  

       Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Guerrillas: Halfbake on!
  

       In the beauty of the lilies Custard Speedbumps cross the roads.
With Sallywax on your bosom you can tote the mother lode.
If you join us you can live with us in our Film Noir Abode.
While halfbakers bake on!
  

       Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Guerrillas: Halfbake on!

       I wish I'd thought of that.
UnaBubba, May 04 2001
  

       I wish I had too. <Salutes>

       Just to diverge slightly. Why is it that the 'Establishment' have all the best songs? I've been to promenade concerts and found myself singing along to 'Rule Britannia' and the first tune I thought of for the Halfbakers Anthem was 'Onward Christian Soldiers' . Why aren't there any good Anarchist or Atheist songs?
DrBob, May 11 2001
  

       'cause the Atheists don't really believe there's anything to sing about and you can't get the Anarchists to agree on the lyrics, the tune, or who gets to record it.
Susen, May 11 2001
  

       The Establishment Rocks you, punk!
absterge, May 12 2001
  

       To the tune of 'Tannenbaum' (oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree, how lovely are...). See link for original, and my apologies for this version, I'm no good at this kind of thing.

The bakers' flag is custard yell-
ow, flying o'er our martyred dead;
And ere their PIN drew ranks of armed
Police, they talked of gun control.

CHORUS:
Then raise the lurid standard high;
Within its categories we'll flame and die,
Though newbies flinch and Sealies sneer,
We'll keep the baked flag flying here.

[I was going to stop here but saw the next verse and couldn't resist... leaving it as the original!]

Look 'round, the Frenchman loves its blaze,
The sturdy German chants its praise;
In Moscow's vaults its hymns are sung,
Chicago swells its surging song.
lewisgirl, Jul 09 2001
  

       I've just read [lg]'s anno. How appropriate, that you've adapted a tune deemed subversive by conservatives around the world since the rise of Socialism. It's a little more than "non-establishment".
