Till Science Fiction och Roscoe (filk)

[kjn]

One of Bellman's songs that I've kept an eye on for filking for a while now is Fredmans Sång 7: Till Kärleken och Bacchus (Youtube). It is also probably the greatest example of Bellman as a Dirty Old Man. Once I realised what should go together with Roscoe, the song was quite easily enfilked.

Note: the Bellman site I use for texts appears to have database trouble right now; the notes and the comments are available, but not the actual lyrics. I hope it gets resolved soon.


Sf och Roscoe helgas min skål;
Bägge sku firas af ungdom och ålder;
En ger jag hjertat den andra min bål;
Ty sf ger Roscoe Härolder.
Gyldene ålder och fuller Pocal
Är hvad i verlden helst mig behagar;
Ach! hvad jag önskar uti mina dagar,
Hos Roscoe bli Fendrik, i sf:s lokal!
