The Pimpernel Time Warp
the tune is the same. dancing and costumes may be improvised.
Chauvelin:
Like a falcon
Time is fleeting
Alive still
is my soul.
but listen closely--
Marguerite
(thinking of
Percy):
I can't stand this much longer
Chauvelin
(to himself):
I've got to
keep control.
(loses it)
I REMEMBER
WHEN THIS ALL STARTED
FRUSTRATION
THOSE MOMENTS WHEN
THE JERKS WOULD EVADE ME
AND A VOICE WOULD BE LAUGHING --
Percy's
band:
Let's sail the Day Dream again!
Let's sail the Day Dream again!
Percy:  Into valleys and waters
Band: Storms that rip the ni-i-i-i-ight
Percy: And you give your thanks
Band: For the glorious fi-i-ight
All: But it's the quick escape
      That really drives 'em insa-a-a-a-ane
      Let's sail the Day Dream again!
It's so dreamy
Marguerite:
Oh, what you used to be
I can still see him
When I look at you
from another dimension
wondering of your intention
or if you
were ever there at all
Chauvelin:  Just a bit of black-mail
Marguerite: A secret up for sale
Chauvelin: In the midst of
         a loathsome game.
Marguerite:You once were my lover
Chauvelin: THEY CAPTURED YOUR BROTHER
Band: Let's sail the Day Dream again!
Chau: Well of the pimpernel's fleet, who'd really think
         That they would spoil the plans of this evil fink
         They shook me up, took us by surprise
         Had the devil's timing and a good disguise
         The soldiers there, they were pimpy's men
         I'll be DAAMED if they ever try THAT again!
League: Why don't we do it again?
Percy: And to Marguerite--
Band: Back together for go-o-o-od
Percy: Will you take me back?
Band: And we knew that she wo-o-ould
         But it's the quick escape
         that really drives 'em insa-a-a-ane
         Let's sail the Day Dream again
         Into the fire again...
(Chauvelin does a tap dance. It is not quite successful.)
Band: Let's sail the Day Dream again!
Let's sail the Day Dream again!
Percy:  Into valleys and waters
Band: Storms that rip the ni-i-i-i-ight
Percy: And you give your thanks
Band: For the glorious fi-i-ight
         But it's the quick escape
      That really drives 'em insa-a-a-a-ane
         Let's sail the Day Dream again
         Into the fire again...
(repeat chorus until everyone falls down)
