Xena Scroll Writer (Xena Scroll Writer)
Please Sir or Madam will you read her scrolls
They took her years to write, but she's on a roll
They're based on the legend of the great Xena
Written by a bard named Gabrielle, the Xena Scroll Writer
Xena Scroll Writer

It's the story of a princess warrior
And her sidekick Gabby knows what she's there for
There's also Joxer, but he has no clue
Whatcha writin' Gab? She'll tell ya who. That Xena Scroll Writer
Xena Scroll Writer
Xena Scroll Writer

They're a hundred scrolls give or take a few
She'll be writing more in a week or two
She might change the world with her writing style
All in a day's work for Gabrielle, the Xena Scroll Writer
Xena Scroll Writer

If you really like them you can have the rights
Make a hit TV show for you overnight
Battles, humor, romance, how can you go wrong?
So a great tale it inspired this song, Xena Scroll Writer
Xena Scroll Writer
Xena Scroll Writer

Xena Scroll Writer
Xena Scroll Writer
Xena Scroll Writer
