"Murder at the Byeways"

March 2006
Deep River Legion

Phyllis' "Ode to Murder at the Byeways"

(to the tune of "All for the Best" from Godspell)

You might feel sad
That we're finished this play
But it's not so bad
'least that's what I say.

We are all walking, squalking, talking
Murder at the Byeways.

Pencil necked egg heads
I just don't get it
A razooin' in bed tonight..

Each night when I sleep, I turn all night long
Kick Paul while I dance - the Isabell song
I'd like to get these songs out of my head
And have just one night's rest.
Yes, It's all for the best..

Verse 1
I leave work everyday at four
Setting tables is a chore
I'm glad there's not more nights of this..

Burler can't be found
We've just lost the sound
Izzy's come around way too soon..

The fuse box might blow
A Kossik we must sew
Hopewell might throw -up in her purse..

Seven cast members
Have a vagina..

Where on earth is our lady Fran
The mural won't stand
We need four men to hold Dolores.

The ladies song's too fast
Five pages we've skipped past
Burler's hair won't last all the nights..

Reg and Hopewell've gone camping
Izzy's broke arm is cramping
You guessed it's all for the best...

Verse 2
Marion says "Lose the gum"
Father's out of rum
Howard gets more dum every night..

I've got the tongs in hand
To dish out the ham
And there is Anne on potatoes..

The beans are running low
Friday's crowd is slow
They just don't know when to laugh.

Either Reg killed Natasha
Or worse he slept with Izzy.

Jacob gets a little push
Nat's got a nice tush
Enuice has a bush that is pretty..

Reg II likes to dance
Pierre gives Jane a glance.
Sean's stripped pants are too long.

It's driving me crazy
My mind feels real hazy
You guessed it's all for the..
Miss Yurasov seems distressed (spoken)
Yes it's all for the…
The stage is really quite a mess (spoken)
Yes, it's all for the
I'd like a chance to wash this dress (spoken)

Yes, it's all for the best!
