sorcyress: Drawing of me as a pirate, standing in front of the Boston Citgo sign (Techie!!)
[personal profile] sorcyress
With all nessecary apologies to Gilbert and Sulliven:::

TECHIE:
I am the very model of a member of a techie crew
I cue the lights, I build the sets, and I can run the sound board too
My second homes the catwalks, my first is my sweet techies booth
I lurk backstage where actors hide and make sure we don't miss a cue
I quoff caffinne in gallons, all my wardrobe is the colour black
I do not like the actors, always willing to give them a smack
I'm more advanced then everyone, there's only one superior...
And that would be the one reveared, the techinical director

ALL:
And that would be the one reveared, the techinical director
And that would be the one reveared, the techinical director
And that would be the one reveared, the techinical director

TECHIE:
I'm very good with gel colors, I've got the numbers memorized
And when the TD is pissed off, I know the places one can hide
In short when it is building sets, running sound and lighting cues
I am the very model of a member of a techie crew

ALL:
In short when it is building sets, running sound and lighting cues
She is the very model of a member of a techie crew

TECHIE:
I parodize musical numbers which I've heard repeatedly
I can build most any set from cityscapes to hills and trees
I dangle off the catwalks, fear of heights is a phrase unknown
And when it comes to eating, Roma's Pizza is the only one.
I build the props and guard the show, we techies keep it working
I sew the costumes be they meant for paupers or a queen or king
Then I can down the caffine drinks, from jolts to bawls to a red bull
And recite every passage from that worshipped techies gospel

ALL:
And recite every passage from that worshipped techies gospel
And recite every passage from that worshipped techies gospel
And recite every passage from that worshipped techies gospel

TECHIE:
I tease and taunt the actors, make them all bow down to me, me, me
I understand that right is left and down is up, now don't you see
In short when it is building sets, running sound and lighting cues
I am the very model of a member of a techie crew

ALL:
In short when it is building sets, running sound and lighting cues
She is the very model of a member of a techie crew

TECHIE:
In fact, when my footfalls sound like humans and not elephants
When I do not drown out the actors as the sing and speak and prance
When a concept such as whispiring is engraved upon my brain
And when my words no longer are the technical directors bane
When I can move around backstage without bumping into the sets
When what I'm going to break next is not the subject of actors bets
In short, when I have managed to move around more silently
You'll say there is no better crazy techie that you've ever seen

ALL:
You'll say there is no better crazy techie that you've ever seen
You'll say there is no better crazy techie that you've ever seen
You'll say there is no better crazy techie that you've ever seen

TECHIE:
For my body movements, though I try to keep to a more quiet noise
Can be heard all o'er the auditorium, drowns out actor girls and boys
But still when it is building sets, running sound and lighting cues
I am the very model of a member of a techie crew

ALL:
But still when it is building sets, running sound and lighting cues
She is the very model of a member of a techie crew

Wow, I had the original stuck in my head all friday and saturday, and I don't even know most of it.

Very good. I'm impressed. I can't write songs worth shiznit, let alone parodies. =^^=

I can't do either very well, but sometimes inspiration just strikes. This one's actually only the second parody I've ever written, and the only one I've ever done on my own.

(The first was a parody of It's My Life by Bon Jovi with my sister Aly.)
