Name: Jerry Jingalo
Duration: P00H01M06S
Description: Originally a meld of Johnny from the faintly scandalous 'Gently, Johnny my jingalo' and the false prophet Bunny Jingedangelow from the Brian Aldiss novel 'Greybeard', but the character seemed to take on a life of his own. I have a feeling he's not finished with me, but for the moment this is all there is.

lyrics

Breach the barrel, drain the cask
Scrambled wits behind the mask
And drink awhile with Jerry Jingalo

Sell your soul and pay the fee
The price of immortality
You pay to Jerry Jingalo

The master sings, the jester dances
Round and round the room he prances
Dancing to the tune of Jingalo

Round and round the room they go
The tears, the tears they trickle slow
Down the cheeks of Jerry Jingalo

And as he spins such fine romances
Disciples quarrel for the chance
To gather at the feet of Jingalo

The devil scans with eyes like coals
The broken dreams and stolen souls
Betrayed by Jerry Jingalo
