Ahoy mateys, are ye ready for another parody!? This be from the "Pirates of Penzance", it being "I am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General" ARRRjoy, ye barnacles! ********************************************************************** "I am the Very Model of an Ancient Sucking Vampyre" from "The Pirates of Translyvania", By: Santiago, 1996 VAMPYRE: I am the very model of an ancient sucking Vampyre, I've transfomation, fangy teeth, and a slightly older sire, I've known Cro-magnon of Pangea, and I fought with barbarians From Hun to Fionn, ask any good librarian; I'm well acquainted, too, with matters more political, I understand back stabbing, both simple and cyclical, About the polls of them, I'm full with ancient witticisms, With many cheerful facts about opponents and their fetishes. GHOUL CHORUS: With many cheerful facts about opponents and their fetishes. With many cheerful facts about opponents and their fetishes. With many cheerful facts about opponents and their fetishes. VAMPYRE: I'm good at bat and wolf transmogrify, I know how many ways that I can almost never die: In short, in matters mortal, magical, very dire, I am the very model of an ancient sucking Vampyre. GHOUL CHORUS: In short, in matters mortal, magical, very dire, He is the very model of an ancient sucking Vampyre. VAMPYRE: I'm part of our mythic history, King Arthur's and Count Dracula; I answer hard historics, I'm very practised at saying "Blahh!", I can fly north-north-west, nary looking at the map, As a wolf I can mark territory with my crap; I can feel the temprature of warm blood at ten little paces, I know five different fang-showing horrid faces. I can cause a mans heart to stop with but a glance, If only he's not got garlic in his pants. GHOUL CHORUS: If only he's not got garlic in his pants. If only he's not got garlic in his pants. If only he's not got garlic in his pants. VAMPYRE: In fact when I can bear the sun or cross, When you'll sit and say "You're the boss", When I don't die at the end of the movie script, And when I can avoid actors like Brad Pitt, When I have learnt the difference between AB and O, When I avoid the diseases of those common ho's, In short, when I've a smattering of common sense, I'll be a Vampyre with no mortal/magic life defence. GHOUL CHORUS: He'll be a Vampyre with no mortal/magic life defence. He'll be a Vampyre with no mortal/magic life defence. He'll be a Vampyre with no mortal/magic life defence. VAMPYRE: For all vast knowledge, though stronger than ten strong men, I'm incapable of getting out of bed 'fore ten; But still, in matters mortal, magical, very dire, I am the very model of an ancient sucking Vampyre. GHOUL CHORUS: But still, in matters mortal, magical, very dire, He is the very model of an ancient sucking Vampyre! *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ "Catapultam habeo.
