RPG Humor, 9/22/99, "The Dungeoneer's Lament"

To the tune of Dire Straits' song "Money for Nothing." The lyrics are in no way intended to insult the patrons or staff of the WoD room. 
by Pieter van Hiel

Now look at them yo-yo's, that's not the way to do it
Them playin' the vampires in WoD!
That ain't gamin' that's not the way you do it
They're killing for nothin', for no XP!
Now that ain't gamin', that's not the way you do it
Lemme tell ya them guys is dumb!
Never get a blister on their little finger
Never get a blister on their thumb
You gotta crawl Dark Dungeons
Fightin' monster NPCs 
You gotta roll them polyhedrons 
You gotta beef up your AC

See the little vampire with the earring and the makeup
Yeah buddy that's his own hair
That little vampire got his own jet wardrobe
That little vampire he's a LARP player
He's gotta crawl Dark Dungeons
Fightin' monster NPCs
He's gotta roll these polyhedrons
He's gotta beef up his AC
You shoulda learned to play in Lost Realms
You woulda learned to play, some fun:
Look at that LARPer, she's paler than dead salmon
Man she should get some sun

And him up there, playin' what? A Malkavian?
Bangin' on the bongos like a chimpanzee
That ain't gamin' that's not the way you do it
They're killing for nothin', for no XP!
You gotta crawl Dark Dungeons
Fightin' monster NPCs
You gotta roll them polyhedrons
You gotta beef up your handle's AC, Lad
Cause you ain't gamin' that's not the way you do it
You playin' the vampire in the WoD
That ain't gamin' that's not the way you do it
Killing for nothin', for no XP (I want my…I want my…I want my D and D!)
Killing for nothin', for no XP (I want my…I want my…I want my D and D!)
