Warrior From Athens -- by Suzanne Smiley

WARRIOR FROM ATHENS

lyrics written by Suzanne Smiley, 10/14/00
to the tune of MAN OF LA MANCHA by Mitch Leigh and Joe Darion
from the musical MAN OF LA MANCHA (c) 1973

JOXER
Hear me now all you Greeks, take a look at my sword
Intimidating, yessiree
Got a fight that if won will help save the whole world?
The right guy to pick would be me!

Hah, hah!

I am Joxer the Mighty
The warrior from Athens
I'm dashing and daring and quick
Should you have any reason to possibly doubt me
Xena was once my sidekick
Xena was once my sidekick
Like Gabby, her pal with the stick!

SUZANNE
I'm Suzanne, yes I'm Suzanne
I'll follow ol' Joxer til the end
Don't look at me -- It was all his idea
I'm not crazy, just his friend

JOXER
Hear me villans and warlords, where do I begin?
All your dastardly doings are past
When you've lost to the greatest warrior that has lived
They'll call me a hero at last!

[spoken] Oops, did I say that out loud?

JOXER
I am Joxer the Mighty
The warrior from Athens
I'm dashing and daring and quick
Should you have any reason to possibly doubt me
Xena was once my sidekick
Xena was once my sidekick
Like Gabby, her pal with the stick!

SUZANNE
I'm Suzanne
Yes I'm Suzanne
I'll follow ol' Joxer til the end
Don't look at me -- It was all his idea
I'm not crazy, just his friend
Xena was once his sidekick?!
I think I'm gonna be sick!
