1.  In the kingdom of Barad-Duin
                G            C
Lived a Flower petite,

Who is a Barbarian so mighty...        Chorus

2.  A squire she was to Sir Sinjen.
                G                   C
In battle arts she did  train,
            F                      Dm               G7          E7
And sometimes she cared for Azhara's roses...          Chorus

                C           G               C
3.  She guarded well the Potato.
                       G                   C
Too close to her she did keep it;

She soon thought of love and wrote poetry...          Chorus

                 C         G                    C

And Fenton enjoyed himself in a very happy spot....          Chorus

                 C         G               C
5.  She keeps a tiny white dragon
                    G                        C
A gift from Old House Challain
             F                            Dm                      G7        E7
That saved them from surrendering their House to her...       Chorus

                C              G                 C
6.  She carries a Moogie she calls P-Chan
                      G                             C
Against the Death Sheep from Hell
          F                       Dm                        G7                     E7
And woe betide the bleating of dread Fenton and his clan!

            C            G                C
7.  Against the fire dryad, Amber Lee
                     G                       C
She took a stand that was bold

She almost lost her head but then a belt she gained instead…    Chorus

                C             G               C
8.  She rides out now in fair Drandmir’s name
                        G                C
A barbarian warrior so brave

With dragons and steel and a Moogie hungry for lamb stew…    Chorus.

            C         G             C

                               G                         C
With a Dragon, a pig and some rhymes,

You'll know it's Sharjinka - Sir Petite Flower of Drandmir.....      Chorus

The Petite-est Flower of Drandmir, of Drandmir, Hyah!
           E7                                        Am
Sharjinka, Sharjinka, Sharjinka, Myah!
            E7                                                                   Am
The Petite-est Flower of Drandmir, of Drandmir, Hyah!
