PART THREE | ACT ONE -- Scene Change Aria
[Continued] Rock Operaepic: Helicopters, Gunships and Tanks
A Rock Operaepic ... [using the Yiddish Dictionary Online]
by Pat Darnell
[Stage front curtains are drawn so stage hands can work. Tenore d'grattias, Counter Tenore sings in front with single spotlight. He/She is dressed in mid 1970's era Elton John battle fatigues clothing, and FUBU cap. His shtick requires a little soft shoe, and a broad walk back and forth across stage, as if in deep thought]
Brokering in Egypt and France
patriot Condoleezza Rice
Secretary of States of US
a deal for a truce, seems its
Pharoah wants back his Hebrews
and France wants some too
"Jews always bring spruce
and triple crown music,
to our very dull dance...
in our fraudulence
and undergarments"
"Jews always bring spruce
and triple crown music,
to our very dull dance...
in our fraudulent undergarments"
[Musical Interlude; as tenore does a soft shoe, Gene Kelly shuffle ball change]
Israel resumed Gaza offensives
after a three hour tour truce
for UN altruist forays
very adventurous thrust
for humanity and all others' TV view
even Mr Howell and Lovey's too
not-prez-yet BArry oBama's stimulus
to make more regular us...
and wealth distribution more just
a package to pay back foreignnesses
dividends to keep up their trust
all paid in full for us by us
all paid in full for us by us
i cringe at my pay check
as it dwindles and stews
from day one it is reduced
by exponential digits in twos
Institutions sink under
as blizzards follow hail
as war fronts get added
by mis guided splinter cells
tenore di grattias, sing bloodied hell
oh, counter tenore d'grattias
belfry'd and bat'ted
where is your bell
[Refrain]
"Jews always bring spruce
and triple crown music,
to our very dull dance...
in south of France
in our flawed undergarments
with fraudulent immigrants..."
[repeat; fadeaway ending to song -- lights dim, spot fade, open curtains to ACT TWO]
