Naismith (Not Vorkosigan) by Robert Wynne Music: "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)" by Jimmy Kennedy and Nat Simon © 2004 Miles Naismith was once Lord Vorkosigan He's Adm'ril Naismith, not Lord Vorkosigan Pretending that he isn't Vorkosi- Make a fast retreat to the Dendarii fleet Every gal on Dendarii missions Loves Admiral Naismith not Lord Vorkosigan They don't know that he's really Vorkosigan They're following the Admiral Even young Lord Mark was once a clone of Miles Which was which you couldn't say Sur Galen liked it better that way So now Mark is Mark and not Miles Vorkosigan He got real fat, unlike Lord Vorkosigan So folks won't think that he's Miles Vorkosigan When chaos and confusion start to mount That's nobody's business but the Count's. Miles Naismith! (Miles Naismith!) Miles Naismith! (Miles Naismith!) Even young Lord Mark was once a clone of Miles Which was which, you couldn't say Sur Galen liked it better that way Miles Naismith was once Lord Vorkosigan he's Adm'ril Naismith, not Lord Vorkosigan Pretending that he isn't Vorkosigan When chaos and confusion start to mount That's nobody's business but the Count's. So now Mark is Mark and not Miles Vorkosigan He got real fat, unlike Lord Vorkosigan So folks won't think that he's Miles Vorkosigan When chaos and confusion start to mount That's nobody's business but the Count's. Miles Naismith!
Another song based on Lois McMaster Bujold's brillient Miles Vorkosigan series. This is a difficult song to sing, in part because the original is tricky to begin with, and I had to play loose with the scansion in places. It *does* scan, once you find the pattern of the stresses required.
