Verse I
She slinks through the door with a crooked grin,
Knives in her boots, and mischief within,
A laugh like glass breaking underfoot,
Greppa the Mocking, in her element, uncut.
Her eyes, two daggers of playful spite,
She’ll steal your coin and your last bite,
The halfling laughed, the dwarf turned pale,
No one survives her barroom tale.
Chorus
Oh Greppa, Greppa, Vicious and sly,
With a wink that could make even the brave sigh,
Raise up your tankards, but guard your hand,
She’ll take your ale and your last stand,
Sing Greppa, Greppa, loud and free,
To laughter that bites and cunning esprit,
If your purse feels lighter and your pride feels thin,
You’ve met Greppa… and she just did win.
Verse II
She jests and jeers with impeccable flair,
Turns insults to gold with the slightest care,
A goblin she mocked? A knight she taunted?
The bar cheered loud, and the enemies haunted.
She’ll dart through shadows, she’ll vanish quick,
Then reappear with a vial of trick,
The cards on the table, the dice in your hand,
Never quite played how you thought they’d land.
Chorus
Oh Greppa, Greppa, the sharp-tongued bane,
With a grin that delights in chaos and pain,
She mocks your luck, she mocks your fame,
Turns every loss into part of her game,
Sing Greppa, Greppa, take care, beware,
Her laughter echoes through the smoky air,
If your hair stands on end and your knees go weak,
That’s Greppa at work, at the havoc she seeks!
Verse III
She drinks like a storm, she eats like a thief,
Steals the spotlight, then vanishes brief,
Her name whispered where the brave convene,
Half with fear, half with a smirk unseen.
Yet somehow, somehow, the tavern thrives,
Because Greppa mocks… and the inn survives,
She’s chaos wrapped in leather and gold,
A story the bards will forever be told.
Bridge
Now listen close when the candles sway,
And the floorboards tremble with games at play,
If Greppa leans in and whispers your name,
Take it in stride… she’s always the same,
For a clever tongue and a sharper mind,
Is a treasure most rare, though hard to find,
She’ll leave you laughing, or scratching your head,
Or questioning why you even bled.
Final Chorus
Oh Greppa, Greppa, raise your cheer,
To mischief, to wit, to the inn’s wild leer,
To tankards that clink and dice that fall,
To the laughter that echoes through the Red Dragon Hall,
Sing Greppa, Greppa, loud and proud,
Let the inn resound with her laughter unbowed,
If tomorrow dawns with your pride in a knot,
Don’t fret… Greppa got what she sought.
Outro
So drink to the thief, the jester, the spark,
The shadow that dances long after dark,
If you wake to a tale you can’t quite recall,
Smile, friend…
Greppa has been here after all
