First Blood
by Rabid Garfunkel

Come one, come all, and see
The greatest match in history
Two men before your eyes
Swordsmen without compromise

And now, direct from the salle
Master Angelo, with his second, his pal
Witness the evolution of the killing act
Only one rule binds this pact
...First blood!

Step right up to the field of honor
Mothers, maids, sons and fathers
Crowd in close, don't be shy
You want to be right there to see the steel fly

Cut! Feint! Parry! Riposte!
At the end only one will boast
En garde! Corps a corps!
And Master Angelo makes the score!
...First Blood!

What an exhibition, what a show
All your friends will be sorry they didn't go
To see a living master for such a modest fee
The best things, my friends, are rarely free
Master Angelo's Salle is waiting for you
With him teaching, there's nothing you can't do

It's tough to get into the carnival barker/fight announcer vibe when you sound like you're stage-whispering into a microphone. Turn down the mic volume, take a couple of steps back, and really belt that mother out, man. Lyrically, I think I'm missing some prerequisite knowledge, so the words don't make a whole bunch of sense to me. I mean, I know it's about a swordfight, so, uh, cool, I guess. This sounds very much like Tom Waits, which I guess is no surprise, since this is Rabid Garfunkel we're talking about. Good effort.
