  1. "Bandits, beasts, and dragons!" cried the tuckered-out adventurer.
  2. "Everywhere I go, there's Risen in my face!
  3. I need a place to drown my sorrows,
  4. Without the drama and the noise,
  5. Somewhere to rest and drink-- oh, is there such a place!?"
  6.  
  7. In a city by the shore,
  8. A lone Asura with a dream
  9. Saw a beach, but pictured more:
  10. He put some money down, and he built a tiki bar.
  11.  
  12. His disdain for needless drama
  13. And his entrepreneurial wisdom
  14. Left him well-equipped to build a better bar.
  15. He got some coconuts and torches,
  16. And some tiny paper umbrellas,
  17. Hired a Norn to mix the drinks and win our hearts.
  18.  
  19. And from cities far and near
  20. A crowd of folks came streaming in,
  21. To a place devoid of fear.
  22. At Trader Jikk's, they could relax and have some fun.
  23.  
  24. You take a coconut, and you hollow it out, and you put a bit of alcohol in
  25. And you put a bit more alcohol in
  26. And you top it with a tiny paper umbrella.
  27.  
  28. You'll forget all about Divinity's Reach,
  29. While you're drinking, chilling on the beach,
  30. At the bar they call Trader Jikk's.
  31.  
  32. Trader Jikk! You're a source of peace and joy,
  33. You've got all our problems answered.
  34. You bring drinks to all the girls and boys;
  35. You're an alcoholemancer!
  36.  
  37. Any day with you's a better day,
  38. You can change the world in a tiny way,
  39. A more peaceful world, only for a day...
  40.  
  41. Trader Jikk's in heaven,
  42. Because Scarlet killed him dead
  43. But his vision and his legacy live on!
  44. He gave us solace amidst chaos,
  45. He gave us hope where there was none,
  46. And though he may be dead, he never will be gone!
  47.  
  48. Now we gather here today
  49. To keep his legacy alive
  50. Keep him always in your hearts,
  51. And share a drink, and help his memory live on!
  52.  
  53. You take a coconut, and you hollow it out, and you put a bit of alcohol in
  54. And you put a bit more alcohol in
  55. And you top it with a tiny paper umbrella
  56.  
  57. You'll forget all about your troubles and woes,
  58. Feel the sand in between your toes,
  59. Remembering our friend, Trader Jikk!
  60.  
  61. Trader Jikk! You brought us peace and joy,
  62. You had all our problems answered.
  63. You brought drinks to all the girls and boys,
  64. You were an alcoholemancer!
  65.  
  66. Every day with you was a better day,
  67. You changed the world in a tiny way,
  68. A more peaceful world, only for a day...
  69.  
  70. Every day with you was a better day,
  71. You changed the world in a tiny way,
  72. A more peaceful world, only for a day
  73. And we'll try to make it every day…
  74. We'll think about you every day...
