Blow Me Up and Destroy Me

(Take Me Out to the Ball Game)

 

Blow me up and destroy me

Blow me up again

I'm just a little light Battlemech

I don't care if you blow me to heck

'Cause it's

 Blast

 Blast

 Blast

And I'm gone, now

If you can't kill me you're lame

'Cause it's

Hits I'm dead in the old war game!

 

 

MoBster's Paradise

(Gangster’s Paradise)

 

As I look through the record sheets of FASA's 'mechs

I take a look at a few and realize they suck, yes!

But I've been playing btech so long,

Even the GodMom thinks that my mind is gone!

I aint never flamed playmates even though the deserve it,

Stand up for the toon? man, you know that's unheard of,

You better watch how you're writing, and who you're fighting

Or me and my homies might knock off your site!

I really hate to munch but I gotta see

Quad PPCs linked to a TC, fool!

I'm the kinda gamer little homies run away from

On my knees all week long playing btech at the game cons!

 

Been spending most their lives, living in a MoBster's paradise!

Got Star League Fireflies, living in a MoBster's paradise!

Think Kell Hounds are real cool guys, living in a MoBster's paradise!

Go to Ed Karl for low priced buys, living in a MoBster's paradise! :-)

 

Minis and the Sourcebooks, Sourcebooks and the Minis,

My poor little Vulture, got killed off by John Tinney,

Everybody's running, for targets they're lookin,

What's going on in the cockpit, their ammo they are cookin,

They say I dont know tactics, but nobody's here to teach me,

Without clantech at long range, how will they reach me?

I guess they cant, I guess they wont

I guess that's how I know my oponents a fool

 

Been spending most their lives, living in a MoBster's paradise!

Always use marker dice, living in a MoBster's paradise!

The clans aren't at all nice, living in a MoBster's paradise!

Battletech is our main vice, living in a MoBster's paradise!

Tell me why shouldn't we, be the one to see,

The munchiness of the Tac HB.

Tell me why do we, wait eagerly,

For the release of Mechwarrior 3!

 

(fade out)

 

 

LRMs

(Jingle Bells)

 

Blowing through the 'Mechs, with an Ultra/10 AC!

It is fun to watch the clanners run away from me!

Shell on armor rings! Making bodies fly!

What fun it is to shoot my guns and watch those clanners die, oh

 

LRM's, LRM's, blasting all the way!

Go ahead you clanner scum and try to make my day!

Oh, LRMs, LRMs, blasting all the way!

IDF aint really nice but this is war so hey!

 

LRM-15's, fired at the clans

Hitting them with ease, as the arrow lands!

Autocannons sing, making omnis fall,

I wish I had the spare ammo to kill them, one and all!

 

Oh, LRM's, LRM's, blasting all the way!

Go ahead you clanner scum and try to make my day!

Oh, LRMs, LRMs, blasting all the way!

IDF aint really nice but this is war so hey!

 

Now appear warships, of the Nightlord class,

Those nasty little munchkins, let's go kick them in the ass!

The SDS comes up, it fills the clans with fear,

And promptly knocks the buggers down into our atmosphere!

 

Oh, LRM's, LRM's, blasting all the way!

Go ahead you clanner scum and try to make my day!

Oh, LRMs, LRMs, blasting all the way!

IDF aint really nice but this is war so hey!

 

LRM's, LRM's, blasting all the way!

Come on little munchkin boy, I'll take you any day!

Oh, LRMs, LRMs, blasting all the way!

I'll lock my weapons on your head and blow your ass away!

 

 

Rudolph the Red-nosed Ostscout

(Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer)

 

Rudolph the red-nosed Ostscout, only had a TAG laser

And if he ran too far out, he'd be cut into razors

All of the other scout mechs, said that pilot was insane

They never let poor Rudolph, call in his Artillery rain!

 

Then one foggy Christmas eve, Victor came to say

Rudolph with your nose so bright

Won't you TAG some clanners tonight?

 

Then how the scout mechs loathed him

And they shouted out with glee

Rudolph the red-nosed Ostscout

Got hit by his own Artillery! :-)

 

 

Oh, Masak'ri

(Oh, Christmas Tree)

 

Oh Masak'ri, Oh Masak'ri

Your PPCs frighten us!

Oh Masak'ri, Oh Masak'ri

Your PPCs frighten us!

 

Oh your tcomp, we fear it so

It blows big holes through my torso

Oh Masak'ri, Oh Masak'ri

Your PPCs frighten us!

 

 

Fightin off some honorless damn clan

(Walkin in a winter wonderland)

 

ROE, are you listening?

Assault mechs, paint jobs glistening

Our beautiful mechs, all turned into wrecks

Fightin off some honorless damn clan!

 

Gone away, is the honor

Here to stay, the mad bombers

They shoot if it moves, These clanners are fools

Fightin off some honorless damn clan!

 

On Tuk'yid we can kill some falcons

And pretend that they are human too

They'll say "Will you bond me?"

We'll say "HELL no -- We'd rather bond capellans than one of you!"

 

Later on, we'll conspire

And turn clan mechs into pyres

Can't send em to hell, Till '67, oh well

Fightin off some honorless damn clan!

 

 

God Rest Ye Merry Ghost Bears

(God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen)

 

God Rest Ye Merry Clan Ghost Bear

Let nothing you dismay

Remember great Kerensky fled

The Inner Sphere this day

To save us from Succession Wars

We'll make those freebirths pay!

 

Oh tidings of malice and war, malice and war!

Oh tidings of malice and war!

 

And out from New Samarkand

Did our mighty fleet jump

We left behind the Inner Sphere

And all those freeborn chumps!

But now we're back and kickin ass

And all your mechs are junk!

 

Oh tidings of malice and war, malice and war!

Oh tidings of malice and war!

 

Through Rasalhague and the Combine

We strike at Terra's heart

We drove through many regiments

And that was just the start!

You'll quickly flee out from our path

Well, at least if you're smart!

 

Oh tidings of malice and war, malice and war!

Oh tidings of malice and war!

 

We met our match on Tukayyid

The ComGuard troops were brave

They fought us to a standstill

During our fifth attack wave

But we'll be back in sixty-seven

Terra's what we crave!

 

Oh tidings of malice and war, malice and war!

Oh tidings of malice and war!

Oh tidings of malice and war, malice and war!

Oh tidings of malice and war!

 

 

Novacat Rock

(Jinglebell Rock)

 

Novacat, Novacat, Novacat rock

Ricochets *PING* and shell fragments ring

Missles and lasers leave their bright flares

In the frosty air!

 

It's the night time, that's the right time,

To blow the clans away!

Novacat time, is a swell time

To knock out some Timerwolf-A's!

 

Giddy-up, Firemoth, pick up your feet

Engage your MASC right now

One on One combat in the sweltering heat!

That's the novacat! That's the novacat!

That's the novacat rock!

 

 

Night Before Christmas, Battletech Edition

 

'Twas the night before Christmas, and on Luthien,

    The Clanners were coming, twelve clusters of them.

The soldiers were nestled, all snug in their mechs,

    In twenty-four hours, most would be wrecks.

 

Genyosha, Otomo, the 1st Sword of Light,

    All in attendence, preparing to fight.

Dragoons and Kell Hounds, mercs of great fame,

    Had also arrived, their goal was the same:

Keep Luthien free, from the hands of the Clans,

    Protect the IS, our beloved homeland.

 

Smoke Jaguars attack, their huge mechs quite frightening,

    With Clan Nova Cat, they lashed out like lightning,

More rapid than eagles, their battlemechs came,

    Their brave Star Colonels all echoed this claim:

"Of Clan Nova Cat, are my cluster and I,

    You are honorless scum, and now you shall die!"

 

The battle at first did not go well,

    The carnage eclipsed Dante's vision of Hell,

The Otomo mechs were quickly destroyed,

    The Clans did not realize it was merely a ploy,

The mechs were a trap, and set to explode,

    And into their ranks, the Smoke Jaguars strode.

 

A blue-painted Archer was the first one to fall,

    It's fiery demise set off them all,

A string of explosions, amazingly large,

    And out of the chaos, brave samurai charged,

The Legion of Vega had engaged the clans,

    With berserker fury, they fought for their land.

 

The Smoke Jaguars charged Imperial City,

    The ambush they faced was not at all pretty,

Into the Hounds and Dragoons they ran,

    Massivly outnumbered, as Theodore had planned.

 

A red and black Archer stood alone on a hill,

    With LRM's firing, it racked up on kills,

With weapons a-blazing, the clanners were vexed,

    Why, they all wondered, can we not hit this mech?!

 

The next several hours dragged on forever

    Would clansmen retreat? We thought no, never,

When from out of nowhere, something finally gave,

    The clanners pulled back, escaping the grave.

 

To their dropships they ran, the rout was now on,

   And soon it was silent, for they were all gone,

They said as their dropships slowly faded from sight,

   "Merry christmas to all. You fought a good fight."
