"Dendarii Recruiters"
Lyrics: Maureen S. O'Brien, Summer 1989 (rev. Summer 1993)
Music: "Twa Recruitin' Sergeants", Scots Trad.
Based on: _The Warrior's Apprentice_, Lois McMaster Bujold

We're Baz, Arde, and Thorne of the Free Dendarii
Come down to Felice to find mercenaries.
If you ever were wishful to wear white and gray,
Enlist with us now and come away.

CH: And it's out from Tau Verde, and up to the ship --
    Through the wormhole, outsystem we'll skip.
    And you'll wear the gray and white as an ensign-trainee....
    Enlist with us now as a Free Dendarii.

If you're folk from other planets, stranded by the war,
With nothing left for passage out from Tau Verde IV,
Take passage for adventure!  Don't wait another day.
Enlist with us now and come away.

Yes, of Admiral Naismith, strange stories are told.
Some say he's not young, but rejuved from old.
Some call him crazy, and some call him lord;
But while he commands us, we'll never be bored.

Yes, we'll give you glory if you join our crew,
Along with insurance and a good health plan too.
So come for the peril, or come for good pay;
But come with us now, and come away!
