- SO THAT WE BOTH MAY KNOW
- THE LITTLE VIEWER GIRL
- 'TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE SOLSTICE
SO THAT WE BOTH MAY KNOW
Come lover come
Come and lie with me
I'll show you how tender love can be
Lay your weary head upon my breast
So that we both may know rest
Come lover come
Come and hold my hand without fear
Our love is good, there's no need for tears
In a perfect world the hate will cease
So that we both may know peace
Come lover come
Come and love my body, mind, and soul
Your entity meshes with mine and we become a whole
Though there is adversity, together we will rise above
So that we both may know love
THE LITTLE VIEWER GIRL
Come they told me
to Krum pum pum pum
A new Xena ep. to see
in Krum pum pum pum
Our finest champagne we bring
to Krum pum pum pum
For that mimosa thing
in Krum pum pum pum, Krum pum pum pum, Krum pum pum pum
So to bribe them
in Krum pum pum pum
When we come
Little lady
in Krum pum pum
pum
We want to see the show
in Krum pum pum pum
I have the champagne to bring
to Krum pum pum pum
For that mimosa thing
in Krum pum pum pum, Krum pum pum pum, Krum pum pum pum
Shall I pour for you
yum yummy yum yum
Yes I'll have some
Carole nodded
in Krum pum pum pum
"Take your seats, it's time"
in Krum pum pum pum
We stayed outta her way
in Krum pum pum pum
So she could hit "Pause" and "Play"
in Krum pum pum pum, Krum pum pum pum, Krum pum pum pum
Then Tricia smiled at us
in Krum pum pum pum
"The breakfast pizza is done."
'TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE SOLSTICE
‘Twas the night before Solstice when all through the hut
Not an Amazon was stirring; they’d all finally shut up
There’ll be hangovers in the morning ‘cause they drank without care
And Eponin’s sure to be wondering, "How’d that feather get there?!"
Most had passed out at tables instead of their beds
The ale had dulled their reflexes and they slept like the dead
And Xena with her chakram and I with my staff
Had just settled down after a party and a half
When out in the yard there arose such a clatter
I was going to get up and see what was the matter
But Xena’s chakram flew past me with a whoosh and a flash
It went out the window and then we heard a great crash
Now Ephiny was cursing, said we’d ruined her show
Now I crossed to the window, just curious you know
When what to my wide green eyes should appear
But Eph. and several scantily clad Amazons spreading their –ummm--cheer
Xena raised one eyebrow and covered my eyes really quick
But Ephiny swore that they were only practicing a great new kick
Xena shook her head, not knowing if the wine or the ale was to blame
Tired and cranky, she shouted and called them several names;
"Now Flasher, Lap Dancer, Romancer and Vixen
You’re going to vomit, don’t be stupid, that’s liquor you’re mixin’
Ephiny, is that your top on the porch? I’m ashamed of you all!
Now dash away, dash away, dash away all!"
I heard dry heaves somewhere in the hut accompanied with some sighs
And took that moment to remove Xena’s hand from my eyes
Then I saw a mischievous twinkle in those eyes of blue
Maybe the ale was affecting my lover more than I knew
I decided to wait for a sign or some proof
That this was not imagined about "Miss Aloof"
Then she took my hand in hers and I suddenly found
The blood in my veins was beginning to pound
As we walked to the bed I grabbed a tray full of fruits
And ate several pieces while Xena took off her boots
But when she sat up and looked at the tray I saw her jaw go slack
Next thing I knew she’d pinned me flat on my back
She said, "I know your appetite and sometimes it’s scary,
But did you ever stop and think, maybe I wanted the cherry?"
"Xena, if you wanted it you could’ve just said something you know
I would’ve gladly given it to you had I known you hungered for it so."
This seemed to please her and her grin was all teeth
As she lifted my skirt and ran a hand underneath
The chance of being seen sent butterflies to my belly
But what Xena was doing lower down turned my insides to jelly
Then in flew her chakram and landed on a shelf
And I laughed when I saw this, in spite of myself
My warrior gave a wink and then lowered her head
And I decided to focus on what she was doing instead
She spoke not a word but went straight to her work
But she soon hit a ticklish spot and my knee gave a jerk
She yelped and sat up, now clutching her nose
Too late, the Amazons were awake and for a moment I froze
Then I covertly pulled down my skirt and Xena started to whistle
I told them it was almost morning and gave the sign for dismissal
But I heard them exclaim as they ran out of sight
"Better sound proof the walls or we’ll get no sleep tonight!" |
