"Over The Moon The Lot Lyrics"

Son Of A Gambolier Lyrics
THE SON OF A GAMBOLIER I'm a rambling rake of poverty From Tippery town I came. 'Twas poverty compelled me first, To go out in the rain; In all sorts of weather, Be it wet or be it dry, I'm bound to get my livelihood Or lay me down and die. cho: Then combine your humble ditties As from inn to


MARK
Maureen's performance.

MAUREEN (in front of a microphone)
Last night I had a dream. I found myself in a desert called Cyberland.
It was hot. My canteen had sprung a leak and I was thirsty.
Out of the abyss walked a cow -- Elsie.
I asked if she had anything to drink.
She said, "I'm forbidden to produce milk.
In Cyberland, we only drink Diet Coke."
She said, "Only thing to do is jump over the moon"
"They've closed everything real down ... like barns, troughs, and
performance spaces ...
And replaced it all with lies and rules and virtual life.
But there is a way out ...

BACKUPS
Leap of faith, leap of faith
Leap of faith, leap of fait
Time Waits Lyrics
Someday, there'll be nothing more to say When life is seen as the dance of the seven veils Well, each teaser reveals the beauty that was always already there My body and soul and my car are not for sale Some days are made of silent anticipation Some days are just quarter-pumping, cheap peepshows Oh, make-believe is all we have some of these

"Only thing to do is jump over the moon"
I gotta get out of here! It's like I'm being tied
to the hood of a yellow rental truck, being packed
in with fertilizer and fuel oil, pushed over a cliff
by a suicidal Mickey Mouse! -- I've gotta find a way

Only thing to do is jump over the moon"

BACKUPS
Leap of faith, etc.

Then a little bulldog entered. His name (we have learned) was Benny.
And although he once had principles,
He abandoned them to live as a lap dog to a wealthy daughter of the
revolution.
"That's bull," he said.
"Ever since the cat took up the fiddle, that cow's bee jumpy.
And the dish and the spoon were evicted from the table -- and eloped
She's had trouble with that milk and the moon ever since.
Maybe it's a female thing.
'Cause who'd want to leave Cyberland anyway?...
Walls ain't so bad.
The dish and the spoon for instance.
They were down on their luck - knocked on my doghouse door.
I said, "Not in my backyard, utensils! Go back to China!"
"The only way out is up," Elsie whispered to me.
"A leap of faith. Still thirsty?" she asked.
Parched. "Have some milk."
I lowered myself beneath her and held my mouth to her swollen udder
And sucked the sweetest milk I'd ever tasted."
(MAUREEN makes a slurping, sucking sound.)

My Little Demon Lyrics
My little demon, comin'on down. My little demon's turnin' me around. all of my friends keep on tellin'me that I just ain't the man I used to be. I really don't like it...ain't nothing I can do. I really don't like it...I'm leaving it to you. My little demon, making me choose. Making me an offer I can't refuse. H

And as a harvest moon rose over Cyberland,
We reared back and sprang into a gallop.
Leaping out of orbit!!!
I awoke singing

Leap of faith, etc.

Only thing to do is jump

Moooooooo

Moooooooo
Moo with me.
(MAUREEN encourages the audience to moo with her. She says,
"C'mon, sir, moo with me," etc. The audience responds. When the
"moos" reach a crescendo, she cuts them off with a big sweep of her
arms.)
Thank you.
