Mercedes

(To the tune of "Maria")

by Don Sakers

Mercedes!
I just wrote a book with Mercedes.
We wrote it all ourselves
It's all about these elves
(Some gay!)

Mercedes!
I just wrote a book with Mercedes
It wasn't such a pain
The sequel's due from Baen
Next May!

Mercedes. . .
Print it large and the books are selling
Leave it off and there's just no telling
The fans keep on yelling:
Mercedes!

Mercedes!
I just wrote a book with Mercedes.
This volume's just Part One
The story won't be done
For years!

Mercedes!
I just wrote a book with Mercedes
And so have all my friends
A line that never ends
No way!

Mercedes. . .
Join the club, we could have a meeting
But the stadium lacks enough seating
So we'll just keep repeating
Mercedes!

Everybody sing!

Now just the beginning writers!

Now the Hugo winners!

. . . Boy Scouts!
. . . Members of Hadassah!
. . . Left-handed horse breeders!
. . . etc. etc.
