This is an unofficial ditty that swept through certain circles in Laergul, the college of music in Jewelspar, shortly after Andif's return (See Interlude: The Problem with Scrying). It praises her name and references a few stories spread about or by her. The spontaneous and somewhat irreverent tone of the ballad captures some of the spirit of the bard, even if it lacks depth.
Lyrics
Verse 1:
Student of Lucian, flutist of Laergul,
She snuck in a lover and ran from this school.
Refrain:
Andif the elf
Is truly top shelf.
Listen to her or else
You might shit yourself
Verse 2:
With her renowned brown note, she'll strike you with Fear.
She frightens her foes and inspires her peers.
Refrain
Verse 3:
Don't call her a Lyre - she disguises her flaws.
She thrives with a beard or a day at the spa.
Refrain
Bridge:
And when we thought we'd heard from her last
She returned with her Bandif, and we're having a blast.
Refrain
Andif the bard
The best in our backyard
And if you ever leave us,
Send us a postcard.
And if you ever leave,
Send us a postcard.
And if you ever leave,
Send us a postcard.
