about

This song was turned into a video (bit.ly/cIzwWs) by the gent who commissioned it.

lyrics

Everybody wants to have a Barb of their own,
So they don't have to worry 'bout being alone,
The greatest little lady you've ever known,
Everybody wants to have a Barb of their own.

A tiny terror with a heart of gold,
And lots of fuzzy animals to ward off the cold.
One of the fairie folk, or so I'm told,
Look in her eyes and you'll never grow old.

Everybody wants to have a Barb of their own,
Loves almost everything she's been shown,
Antiques, anime, or authentic scone,
Everybody wants to have a Barb of their own.

Pound for pound and quid pro quo,
She's the most dangerous woman I know
She can make anything look good, so
When she kicks your ass, it'll steal the show.

Everybody wants to have a Barb of their own,
Wearing the finest costume garb ever sewn,
The perfect blend of texture and tone,
Everybody wants to have a Barb of their own.

She can steal your heart with only a glance,
And anyone who asks gets at least one dance,
A lotta guys are wantin' to take the chance,
But it's too late, fellas, she's got a romance.

Everybody wants to have a Barb of their own,
But there's just one till we learn how to clone,
And Tom's the lucky guy who gets her alone,
Everybody wants to have a Barb of their own.

Everybody wants to have a Barb of their own,
Maiden, warrior, mother and crone,
Even when she's Larping as Yoko On-o,
Everybody wants to have a Barb of their own.

Everybody wants to have a Barb of their own,
The most wonderful woman we've ever known,
A goddess incarnate they'll never dethrone,
Everybody wants to have a Barb of their own.
Everybody wants to have a Barb of their own.
And Tom's so damn lucky this Barb is his own.

The Blue Rose Rare and Other Faerie Tales
by Alexander James Adams

supported by 6 fans who also own “Everybody Wants A Barb”

Alexander James Adams "The Blue Rose Rare and Other Faerie Tales" is an excellent album. With songs retelling a variety of myths and faerie tales, each song is both very fun to listen to, fits well together as an album, and is distinct from the rest of the album. Brownie Dan especially stuck out to me, both in terms of just being a really fun song musically and in terms of the lyrics being delightful. Definitely worth a listen, and thank you for a wonderful album. Kamani
