About Gully Dwarf Healing Song
Being mired in a gully dwarf camp during a storm is bad enough, but the rest of the situation will eventually come to light, so I must confess I, Mirrashar, actually assisted gully dwarves to compose a song for themselves and promised to enter it in my collection of Krynn’s musical works. I suppose this happened because I was soaked and tired at the time and was beset by some of the more bright and tenacious members of the settlement after a meal I couldn’t eat.
The melody is necessarily simple. Although there are four separate verses and a chorus, the gully dwarves always sang everything they remembered of their favorite one, making the words gibberish. The first (and likely last) performance ended in a shouting match regarding who had the loudest voice. The accompaniment is usually three gully dwarves banging cooking pots of various sizes with wooden spoons in no particular rhythm. This does not usually last long, however. One, and sometimes all of them, abandon the duty to wander away during various stages of the work. How long they stay during a performance depends entirely on the length of their attention span.
I sincerely hope my reputation as an elven bard has not been besmirched by either composing this piece or adding it to my collection. I offer it for what it is, probably the only gully dwarf piece recorded at this time.

Lyrics
Be there strings of greeney goop
In you head like tides?
Belly doing flo-flops?
Nose red enough to hide?
Rat it was some overaged
When you cared to dine?
Got a good cure sure enough,
Soon you be all fine!
Stew is fighting back tonight?
Shoulders caught a shiver?
Mage he threw a spell on you?
Lightning left you quiver?
Crossed a dragon’s path again,
Skin burned muscles sore?
Got the thing to fix you up:
Stand still, get the cure!
Hail danced dimples on your head?
Fall smack down in slime?
Knight he knocked big hole in you?
Be all right in time!
Got huge curse laid on you tail?
Toe swole big as tree?
Do not fret, the Lizard Cure’ll
Sure soon set you free!
Pimples on you earlobes, blue
Fungus on you toes,
Ouch among you insides
Sick from gods may know.
Gotta get soon better,
Important things to do
Stand real still, the Lizard Cure
Gonna take care a you!
Lizard Cure, Lizard Cure,
It sure make you whole.
Get better inhale scent,
Should be you only goals.
Do not mind its cold dead eyes
Staring at you chin.Just think what it do for you,
Make you right again!
