ONCE MORE, WITH BUFFYBOT
SINGALONG SHEET
A REAL GIRL
by Buffybot
To the tune of ‘Part of Your World’, music and lyrics by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken. From the soundtrack ‘The Little Mermaid’.
Look at me here
Back in the world
Alive again, rebuilt mechanical girl
I thought I was trapped down below
Alone for eternity
New and Improved
Ready to fight
When Vincent builds something he sure builds it right
Decision collider alone’s
Upgraded substantially
I've got files and systems aplenty
Generators and modules galore
You want backup drives? I’ve got sixty!
Well that’s fine
But I’ve got
So much more
I’m gonna know what the people know
I’m gonna laugh, when I see them laughing
Not just because I was programmed to, this time it’s real
Plotting responses can get old fast
Now there’s no need, no need for pretending
For the first time in my life, I can feel!
I can feel joy, I can emote
No longer just a machine with one note,
I’ve been set free
Now I can be
A real girl
Dawnie will find I’ve left behind all my old limits
Buffy can fight all through the night right by my side
Pesky old vamps won’t stand a chance
Not with two resurrected Buffies
Don’t seem fair, metal Slayer
Dusting my hide
I’m ready to find what I left behind
Find all of my friends and get my life back
Things were darkened, but now there’s new light
And it’s all right, I can tell now,
Now my new life begins with this vow
Soon you will see
I’m going to be
A real girl
HOMEWORK
by Dawn
To the tune of ‘Rio’ by Duran Duran.
Follow me home on the bus, you’re a stalker horror show
Every step I make you’re there, you’re everywhere I go
I can run to the mall or pretend to be sick, but you’re always on my tail
If only you were just a person I would throw your ass in jail
This thing called homework haunts my nights and clouds my days
Why can’t they cover this in classes anyway?
I think my teachers just don’t want to earn their pay
Like Mister Stevenson, I’m pretty sure he’s gay
I’ve done you at the beach, thanks for wrecking that for me
Not like I want to have fun, maybe just watch tv
But you never let me have time to myself
Your constant aggravation turns all our lives into hell
This thing called homework haunts my nights and clouds my days
Why can’t they cover this in classes anyway?
I think my teachers just don’t want to earn their pay
They don’t get that I’ve got new x-box games to play
O homework, homework, can’t you leave for just one day?
Give us five minutes just to hang at some cafe
Our social lives have fallen into disarray
I wish my dog could eat you, that would be okay...
ANYONE YOU CAN KILL, I CAN KILL DEADER
by Harmony and Dana
- To the tune of ‘Anything you can do, I can do better’, music and lyrics by Irving Berlin. From the soundtrack ‘Annie get your gun’.
Anyone you can kill I can kill deader
I can kill anyone deader than you
No you can’t
Yes I can
No you can’t
Yes I can
No you can’t
Yes I can yes I can!
Any blood you can drink I can drain more of
I can drink gallons more plasma than you
No you can’t
Yes I can
No you can’t
Yes I can
No you can’t
Yes I can yes I can!
I could kill the Slayer, she wouldn’t have a prayer
You could not defeat her, I could kill and eat her
I could kill her in...record time!
That fast?
....that’s a laugh
Any plot you concoct I’ll concoct better
Mine’s the more devious brain of the two
No it’s not
Yes it is
No it’s not
Yes it is
It’s so not
Yes it is yes it is!
You can have all the dumb learning you want to
I am the prettiest, that’s all that counts
That’s not so
Looks don’t lie
That’s just low
Gonna cry?
You’re a ho
Know you are, what am I?
I could charm a preacher with my stunning features
The only thing that’s stunning is your lack of cunning
I could have any man...that I want!
That’s some power
Charge by the hour?
Any blow you can throw, I can dodge deftly
I can dodge anything you throw my way
No you can’t
Yes I can
No you can’t
Yes I can
No you can’t
Yes I can yes I can!
No matter how hard you hit, I can hit harder
I’m gonna knock that grin right off your face!
You can try
You’re so dead
Let it fly
How’s your head
Now you die
Wanna try? Go ahead
With the tiniest thrust, you’ll be nothing but dust
Go on and kill the Slayer, why the heck should I care?
I’m gonna put this knife...through her heart!
Now stay put you
This partnership’s through
I don’t need anyone giving me orders
I could care less what that mean old hag wants
I’ll go back
To LA
Find a job
With good pay!
As for her
I say Slay, Slayer, slay
IF I COULD CRY
by Buffybot
- To the tune of ‘Into the West’, music and lyrics by Howard Shore, Fran Walsh and Annie Lennox. From the soundtrack ‘The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King’
Strings cut,
I lay dying from the fight
Shattered, broken,
In the fires of the night
I fell,
Into worlds of shadow, pain and heart-break
My war was over,
Never more was I to wake.
Suddenly hope
I was reborn into the world
Feelings arose
I thought that I could be a girl
Now comes the truth
I was only dreaming
If I could cry I’d drown in sorrow
The friends I had have cast me aside
Lost and alone for all tomorrows
Just a machine who shouldn’t have tried
Dawn won’t know this soul of mine
I wish I could hold her
One last time.
So proud
Such a shiny new machine
Systems, programs
New and ready, so it seemed
I felt
No more was I only just pretending
Real emotion
Seemed like such a wondrous thing.
Hope turned to dust
Now there is no one left to see
What I’ve become
How could life be this cruel to me?
Where do I go
Can anyone save me?
If I could cry I’d drown in sorrow
The friends I had have cast me aside
Lost and alone for all tomorrows
Just a machine who shouldn’t have tried
Now all my love has turned to fear
And I’m just a robot
Who has no tears
No tears to cry
BUFFYBOT LOVE MEDLEY
by Buffybot and Bruce
-to the tune of ‘I Wanna be sedated’ by the Ramones. Note...Buffybot sings this in a slower tempo than is traditional for this song.
Twenty, twenty, twenty-four hours ago
I woke up re-created
Nowhere to go and no place to call home
Why was I re-created?
I wish they could remember, I wish my friends could see
The wonderful Adventures that they all shared with me
But they’re still under Willow’s spell
cast out of memory
My hope was just a dream
-to the tune of ‘They Don’t Know’ by Tracy Ullman.
I’ve thought of you for such a long time now,
If someone could forget, I can’t imagine how
And so what if you’re a robot I don’t mind
You’re the sweetest soul that I’ve been blessed to find
Don’t know what you’ve been through
But I still remember you.
-to the tune of ‘Ace of Spades’ by Motorhead.
It’s too much to gamble,
Although you’re quite a man,
But love, loss, fear, pain,
It’s all too much for me!
There’s pleasure past the pain
And I can help you with the strain!
My friends forgot my name
And you should do the same
Can’t risk that touch
It hurts too much
-to the tune of ‘Firefly: Theme Song’ lyrics by Joss Whedon. From the Television series ‘Firefly’.
In my heart, I can see, there’s a place for you and me
You’re a robot, I’m a guy, that’s no reason not to try
I’ve known fear, though my life, pain and doubt, discord and strife
You can run but won’t get far, these things make us who we are
-to the tune of ‘What Can I Do’ by the Corrs.
It seems like I’ve been in a daze
These feelings turn me upside down
I’d gone as low as I could go
Now I found you and I just don’t know
What did I do to make you love me?
With just one kiss in another time
How can I know that this is real?
I’ve had some bad luck with guys who rhyme.
-to the tune of ‘Your Song’ by Elton John (or, if you prefer, Ewan MacGregor in Moulin Rouge)
It’s hard to explain how this old heart of mine
Took one look at you and simply started to shine
My blood was cold, til I saw your smile
Now it burns with a heat that’s seared me, for quite a while
WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE, REPRISE
by Buffybot
- to the tune of ‘Where do we go from here?’ music and lyrics by Joss Whedon. From the Buffy the Vampire episode ‘Once More with Feeling’.
Why didn’t I save you?
Instead of this deja vu
I found my guy then I watched him die
Like I always seem to do
What have I turned into?
Washed up upon this shore
What does life have in store?
I’ve told my tale here in Sunnydale
But I’m welcome here no more
What am I living for?
Where do I go from here?
I should just disappear
It hurts like hell but no one can tell
For I’ll shed no single tear
Where do I go from here?
