To celebrate the anniversary of the Exandrian Musical, we're kicking off the Cantata Pansophical's version of the Hamilton Mixtape! Starting right where our musical left off, here's our tribute to The Decemberists' Ben Franklin's Song, starring Taryon Darrington.

Adventuring!

That’s where I want to be

Got my helmet, a robe, and my pal Doty

Gonna write the best book

That you’ll ever read

You’re welcome for my creations

You’re the only adventurers I want to see

You can call me Tary; I’ll call you L.E.G.

You have guns; you look fun!

To the third degree…

Invest in my reputation

And do you know who the fuck I am?

Yeah, do you know who the fuck I am?

Do you know who the fuck I am?

I am “Daring Adventures of”-writing Taryon-fucking-Darrington

I’ve not heard of Vox Machina, but give me a try

I’ll make you all wealthy beyond your supply

And perhaps even lend you a sentence or two inside

The book that I’m planning to write

Adventure awaits at the gates of Whitestone

They’re all super cool, and I think they all bone

Though I’ve never seen it with my own eyes

They say Diplomacy happens at night

But do you know who the fuck I am?

(An enormous ham!)

Yeah, do you know who the fuck I am?

Do you know who the fuck I am?

(His own biggest fan!)

I am pompous-and-rich-but-I’ll-still-kick-your-ass-fucking Taryon

The years that followed, I picked up my stride

I’ve killed, gone to Hell, and declined a bride

I made a brigade and a charity to cast aside

The stains from my filiation

So I play my adventurer part with pride

I am known in the world, and the world is wide

‘Neath the surface, I may be terrified, but I stride

Forward with no hestitation

And do you know who the fuck I am?

(Made a metal man!)

Yeah, do you know who the fuck I am?

Do you know who the fuck I am?

(Got a list in hand!)

I am “Daring Adventures of”-writing-Taryon-fucking-Darrington

(Do you know of his daring band?)

Who the fuck I am

(Do you know that he thinks he’s han-dsome?)

Who the fuck I am

(And made Laura almost kill Sam?)

I am “Daring Adventures of”-writing-

Tinkerer, slick goatee wearing,

Slightly-scratched-beholder-killing

Taryon-fucking-Darrington
