PINAFORE
PIE (Courtesy of Matt Synnott
-13th March 2000) Sang to the tune of American Pie. A LONG LONG
TIME AGO, I THINK IT WAS NOVEMBER WHEN PINAFORE
WAS PUT TO SEA AND GRACE KNEW
IF SHE HAD HER CHANCE THAT SHE COULD
MAKE THOSE PEOPLE DANCE BUT DIDN'T KNOW
HOW BIG THAT JOB WOULD BE WE SLIPPED WE
TRIPPED WE GOT OUR FEET WRONG WE LEARNED
ROUTINES AND SOON FORGOT 'EM WE COULDN'T
FORM A STRAIGHT LINE JESUS THIS
COULD TAKE A LIFETIME AND I CAN'T
REMEMBER IF GRACE CRIED WHEN WE
ACCIDENTALLY GOT IT RIGHT WE LEARNED IT
ALL AND DANCED WITH PRIDE - ABOARD THE PINAFORE! CHORUS SO NO MORE HMS
PINAFORE TRIM MUSICAL
SOCIETY HAS DONE IT ONCE MORE WE PUT UP ALL
OUR TALENT AND WE NEVER DID REST SINGING THIS IS
WHY WE SAY WERE THE BEST END
CHORUS
OUR JANE HAD
THE BOOK OF NOTES AND THERESA
QUOTED ALL THE QUOTES WITH THE PROPER
EMPHASIS NOW DO YOU HAVE
FAITH IN BOBBY WHITE DO YOU THINK HE
BUILT THE SHIP JUST RIGHT WOULD YOU WORRY
IF THE DAMN THING STARTS TO LIST AND THE
PRINCIPALS JUST LOVE TO SING THEY LEARN
THEIR LINES AND PACE THE WINGS WE'VE GOT NO
PRIMA DONNA'S BUT THERE'S ONE
WHO IS CALLED 'ADONIS' STILL THEY
BUILT THE STORY THEY SET THE PLOT THEY DANCED
THEY ACTED, DID THE LOT THEY GAVE IT
EVERYTHING THEY'VE GOT - ABOARD THE PINAFORE! CHORUS JANE REHEARSED
US THROUGH THE WINTER SOLSTICE, GRACE STILL
WORKED US JUST LIKE RACING HORSES CHRISTMAS WAS
OUR ONLY BREAK OH CAST BE
NIMBLE, CAST BE QUICK CAST DON'T BE
SO FECKIN THICK IF YOU GET
WRONG, NO TEA OR DANIEL'S CAKES THEN MARY
BRENNAN CAME ON DOWN THE JESTERS GOT
HER FROSTY FROWN THE BACK STAGE
CREW HAD LANDED ON STAGE THE
CAST WERE STRANDED AND WHILE
CARLEY WAVED HER SCRIPT AND BARKED JANE'S WHIRLING
BATON SPIT OUT SPARKS THEN PHELIM
LEFT US IN THE DARK - ABOARD THE
PINAFORE! CHORUS THE SOUND MAN
FECKED US, THE FIGHT SCENE WRECKED US THE PROPS CREW
SOMETIMES DIDN'T RECOLLECT US THE FRONT OF
HOUSE WERE FULL OF CHARM AND THE CHORUS
SANG THEIR FOUR PART SONGS WHEN THEY NEW
THE WORDS THEY WERE REALLY STRONG ALL IN ALL,
THEY REALLY DID PERFORM THE MAKE UP
GIRLS WITH GREAT PERFUME, WORKED MIRACLES
IN THE DRESSING ROOMS, THE COSTUME
CREW WAS FRISKY, AND THE TEA GIRLS GAVE US WHISKEY, AND BETWEEN US
ALL FOR EIGHT GREAT NIGHTS WE GAVE OUR
BEST UNDER PHELIM'S LIGHTS AND THE CROWDS
APPLAUDED WITH DELIGHT - OUR GALLANT PINAFORE! CHORUS NOW THE THREE
GIRLS WE ADMIRE THE MOST THERESA, JANE
AND GRACE OF COURSE THEY GAVE US
CAUSE TO SHOUT AND BOAST - WE SAILED THE PINAFORE! |
