A trio of twisted tales

For my first selection tonight, I present "It 's a B5 World" (sung to "It's a Small World".)

*****************************************
This is B5 af-ter all,
This is B5 af-ter all,
This is B5 af-ter all,
This is just B5.

It's a world of laugh-ter, a world of tears,
It's a world of hope, and a world of fears,
It would seem to a-ppear, that if you are Le-nnier,
This is B5 af-ter all.

This is B5 af-ter all, (fade)
This is B5 af-ter all, (fade)
This is B5 af-ter all, (fadeout)

*********************************************

For my next selection, I present "The Great Machine" (sung to The Theme from "Gilligan's Isle")

*********************************************

Sit right back and you"ll hear a tale, a tale of a fate-ful trip .
That started from this sta-tion here, aboard this scout-ing ship.
The mate was a fun-ny-looking gal, She-ri-dan brave and sure.
Five pas-sen-gers went down that day, for a three hour tour.
A three hour tour.

(effect) sound effect?

The pla-net it was getting rough, the tiny ship was tossed.
If not for the cou-rage of the She-ri-dan, the shuttle would be lost.
The shuttle would be lost.

The ship came down on the pad of this, Incred-i-ble ma-chine.
With Sher-i-den, and De-lenn too.
The Le-ni-er and Mar-cus.
I-von-ava, Franklin and the Vor-lon.
Are here on the great ma-chine.

****************************************

And now, I end with a selection I call "B5"
(written by a former trekkie)
(sung to the tune of "The Theme from Star Trek" (The original series)).

**************************************************************

(Start with narration)
B5, a station out here.
These are the stories, of the station, B5.
It's five-year story? To explore strange new worlds.
To seek-out life, and new civilizations.
To boldly go, where many have gone before!

(music)

B5, the show you are wa-tching.
B5, even when you are ea-ting.

The show, that e-van when you don"t show us.
The fans, they fight and put up a big fuss.

B5, we wan-ted to know now.
Just when, you're going to show how.

The one, will turn itself into three.
And so that we *have* *to* see-ee.

**************************************************************

So ends tonight's performance, THANK-YOU.
