Ok, a while back, while I was writing some song parodies, it struck me that the relationship between Dekaras and Edwin was like the Anya and Xander duet, "I'll Never Tell" in "Buffy the Musical: Once More With Feeling"....(don't ask how, I have a very strange mind)
So I wrote this little duet, actually it seemed to write itself, as a special tribute to the wonderful series "In the Cards" and of course "Card's Reshuffled"....now most of us here are all avid addicts of the series, and this is my musical tribute to Dekaras and Edwin, and of course their scribe, Laufey.
Oh BTW...sorry about "hooters", it was the only way to make the rhyme work...
here is the original lyrics...

Enjoy!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Dekaras) This is the boy I've raised to be a man, isn't he fine?
My claim to fame was to kill and to murder, slaughter was mine!
But I'm out of the biz, my welfare comes after his.
The only trouble is ... I'll never tell.
(Edwin) He is the one, he's such wonderful fun, such skill and grace.
He's cool and neat, best assassin on the street, and kind behind grim face!
I'll never let him go. He's my tutor don't you know.
There's just one thing that...no. I'll never tell.
(both) Cuz there's nothing to tell.
(Dekaras) He's snide.
(Edwin) He's full of pride.
(Dekaras) Say homework and he freezes.
(Dekaras) He's got this nose ring I can't describe.
(Edwin) I talk, he teases.
(Dekaras) He doesn't know what pleases.
(Edwin) When I have fun, all he does is proscribe!
(both) Our life is kind of scary.
(Edwin) We're hunted by evil Aerie.
(Dekaras) Like it's all just temporary.
(Edwin) She's a really evil faery.
(both) But it's all very well.
Cuz Gods know I'll never tell!
(Dekaras) When things get rough, he just hides behind his Rini.
Now look, he's not a weenie.
Believe me, he's got courage, I know!
(Edwin) He lectures, he's never giddy, he likes to dress rather seedy.
he never...
(Dekaras) His eyes are rather beady!
(Edwin) This is my verse, hello? He...
(Dekaras) Look at me! I'm dancing crazy!
(both) You know
(Edwin) You're quite the charmer
(Dekaras) No knight in shining armor! (such foolishness!)
(Edwin) You're the coolest of tutors,
you didn't laugh when I had hooters,
and you took care of me even when I spat on your face!
(Edwin) He's swell.
(Dekaras) Oh-oh, his head is getting sweller.
(Edwin) He'll always be my best friend.
(Edwin) That's why I'll never tell him that I'm petrified.
(Dekaras) If I tell, there will be hell.
I know there'll come the day I'll want to run and hide.
(both) I lied, I said it's easy.
I've tried, but there's these fears I can't quell.
(Edwin) I wish he was my real dad!
(Dekaras) At his mother will he feel bad?
(Edwin) Will our lives become too stressful
if I'm never that successful?
(Dekaras) Will he be shocked to learn,
that I'm his father, will he spurn?
(Edwin) Am I crazy?
(Dekaras) Am I dreamin'?
(Edwin) Am I being an ungrateful son?
(both) We could really raise the beam
in making our friendship a Hell.
So thank God I'll never tell.
I swear that I'll never tell.
(Edwin) My lips are sealed.
(Dekaras) I take the fifth!
(Edwin) Nothin' to see! Move it along!
(Dekaras) I'll never tell!
