I will be performing at the Meet the Guests Cabaret at Westercon (Conzilla in San Diego in July.

As I will be performing in the guise of the mascot, Conrad T Lizard (a real live Lounge Lizard), I've written a special set of lyrics to one of my favorite lounge tunes.




Will this serve?

The Thing That Time Forgot
you should be able to figure out the tune
Lyrics ©2006 by K.P.Roche

Huge and Green and Scaled and Frightening
The Thing That Time Forgot comes gliding

and as it passes
each town it passes falls still...

Having loosed the bonds of Ages
None can stop its fierce rampages

and as it passes
each town it passes falls still..

And, with its breath so incend'ry
Watch as it thwarts every foe
Careless of peasant and gentry

No matter how quickly they flee
It toasts them and eats them, you see...

Huge and green and scaled and frightening
The Thing that Time Forgot comes gliding

and as it passes
I hide, and hope it won't see...

< instrumental >


And, with its breath so incend'ry
Watch as it thwarts every foe
Careless of peasant and gentry

No matter how quickly they flee
It toasts them and eats them, you see...

Huge and green and scaled and frightening
The Thing that Time Forgot comes gliding

and as it passes
I hide, and hope it won't see...
Oh, I hope it won't see...
I'm hiding you see...
oh please don't eat me...

You are going to burn in Hell for doing that to "The Girl From Ipanema". Also, for doing this to my brain. AAAAAAGH!

I mean that as a compliment.

Then my work is done.

That's exactly the reaction I was hoping you'd have :-)

Bwahahahaha!

I'm particularly proud that I managed to fit "incendiary" into the scansion. :-D

[jbriggs.livejournal.com]

Bwahahahahaha!!! And to one of my favourite tunes (Gilberto Astrid Rawks!)

A taste of the Cabaret ?!?!?

[kproche.livejournal.com]

Read the minutes ;-)

[dinogrl.livejournal.com]

At Westercon? Ice cream social? Yes?

[jbriggs.livejournal.com]

Uhm. Nope. But I'll take to to Baskin Robbins if you insist.

[dinogrl.livejournal.com]

Thanks Dad, I'll pass on Bastard and Robbins. But is this for an event at Westercon? Or just something silly for grins?

[jbriggs.livejournal.com]

Come to the Saturday Cabaret at Conzilla and see (he he he)!

PS. I just ordered a Countryman E6i headset for my wireless mic system, so it can be worked into the costume

We need some Trogdor animation to go with this. (And yes, I know it's to Girl From Ipanema, if anyone can make it work, it's you, dear.)
