Ain't No Mundane

Ain't No Mundane

(Tune: "Ain't No Liberal" by Roy Zimmerman)
Lyrics: Gary J. Ehrlich c 8/97 (Second verse by Steve Brinich)


C
I saw a meteor flash by
G
Inspired I went to the first con I could find

           C7        F
CHO: And I feel so good
              A
     Can't go wrong
             Bb
     Want to filk
       Bdim7
     Until the dawn
               F          D7
     Because I once was a mundane
           G7        C7           F
     But I ain't no mundane no more

I saw some crap on TV today
I called my friends up and we MSTied it away

My mind is flying and my heart is swimmin'
I want to read some Bujold, Asimov or Niven

BR:	Oh on that joyful day, yes on that wonderful day
	G
	The day I turned unto the fannish way
	A
	A SFWAn told me what a square I've been
	D
	"Open up your mundane heart and let Robert Heinlein in"

I joined a club some friends had mentioned
Before I knew it I was chairing their convention

I want to be there when we take the stars
So I installed a pair of JATOs on my car

	On the joyful day, yes on that wonderful day
	The day I threw my boring life away
	The SFWAn told me what is good for a SMOF
	Is good for me, (and you, and you); who cares if the mundane 
scoff?

I grabbed some packs of INWO cards
And now I--FNORD!

	And I feel so good
	Can't go wrong
	Want to filk
	Until the dawn
	Because I once was a mundane
	But I ain't no mundane,

And I once was illiterate
Now I own a thousand novels
And I once couldn't write a word
But I just won a Hugo

And I once was a luddite
Now I run an ISP
And I once was fully tone-deaf
Now I've become a big name filker

And I once was a Trekkie
But I just have time for Bab-5
And I just met a Vogon
But I figured, "Don't Panic"

And I once was a mundane
But I ain't no mundane.
No more.
