This song is dedicated to the young lady who made Westercon in 1985 an unforgettable experience for me.
You're Daddy's little darling, and a trufan from your birth Cutest thing I've ever seen, on or off the Earth. You were born at your first Westercon one evening in July, So I just had to write you a fanish lullabye.
And it's hey, diddle diddle, the cow jumped over the moon
The moon is a sandbox 'way up in the sky
Maybe we can play there soon,
And it's hey, Katy diddle, little Katy don't you cry;
Your Daddy's here to sing you a filksong lullabye.
When the trufen get together, they have fun in many ways, But I've had one convention I'll remember all my days. I missed the Masquerade this year, and the filksong concert too, But all of that was worth it, 'cause I ended up with you.
It wass sixteen years that summer since Man first reached the moon, Sixteen 'til next century--my Ghod it seems so soon, You'll be sweet sixteen at Westercon in the year 2001. Bet you'll be fan guest of honor; don't you think that would be fun?
Coda: (To the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star".)
Twinkle, twinkle, little star;
Katy wonders what you are.
Up above the world you fly
Out in space, beyond the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle on your way;
Katy's going there someday.
Written during Westercon 38 in 1985, when Katy was 2 days old.
