Subject: SONG: Stake Me! (for the Natpackers??? <g>)
o.k.--this isn't a story, it's still a song...and
I'm afraid a pretty obscure one at that (no one
else _I_ know would recognize it! ;-)...but I like
it and I heard it on the radio (really!) and it's
been stuck in my head for _two days_. So, even
though I *refuse* to try to write another challenge
story right now <bg>, I dragged out my tape to get
the words (which follow), and I'm hoping this will
be enough to get it out of my system.
In the original, Adelaide ( i.e. Nat) has been
engaged to the same flaky gambler for *14* years,
but can't get him to the altar and she's now
_finally_ fed up, has had enough, and is calling it
quits [for probably the 13th time ;-]. (Note: Her
part is done about 95 miles-per-hour <g> while
Nathan's is much slower.)
It's actually funny how little I had to
change...<g>
So, with apologies to Frank Loesser (who did the
original _Guys and Dolls_ song "Sue Me" [it's at the
end]) I present:
Stake Me
by Dianne la Mercenaire
(who didn't even _try_ to find someone
to pay for *this*! ;-)))
(Nat):You promise me this! You promise me that!
You promise to try to get back in the sun! Then
you give me a kiss and you're grabbing your blood
and you're off to the Raven again...
When I think of the time gone by!
((Nick): Natalie! Natalie!)
And I think of the way I try!
((Nick): Natalie!)
I could honestly *die*!
(Nick):Break a table and stake me! Stake me!
Let the sun bake me! I love you.
Eat some garlic and hate me! Hate me!
Go ahead hate me! I love y....
(Nat):The *best* years of my life I was a fool to
give to you!
(Nick):All right, already! I'm just a bloodsucker!
All right, already! It's true! So new?
So, stake me! Stake me! Let the sun bake me!
I love y....
(Nat):But you work on a case, you "work" on
*Janette*! You're working on everything all except
me! And I'm sick of you keeping me up in the air
'till you're back in the daylight again...
When I think of the time gone by!
((Nick): Natalie! Natalie!)
And I think of the way I try!
((Nick): Natalie!)
I could honestly *die*!
(Nick):Grab a pencil and stake me! Stake me!
Let the sun bake me! I love you.
Eat souvlaki and hate me! Hate me!
Go ahead hate me! I love y....
(Nat):When you wind up in your trunk don't look for
me to get you out!
(Nick):All right, already! So call an Enforcer!
All right, already! It's true! So new?
So, stake me! Stake me! Let the sun bake me!
I love y....
(Nat):You're at it again! You're running to _her_!
I'm not gonna play second fiddle to that! And I'm
sick and I'm tired of standing around and I'm
telling you now that we're through!...
When I think of the time gone by!
((Nick): Natalie! Natalie!)
And I think of the way I try!
((Nick): Natalie!)
I could honestly *die*!
(Nick):So, stake me! Stake me! Let LaCroix take
me! I love yooooooooooooooooooooooooooooou!
<*ta da!* ;-) ...dodging rotten fruit and veggies... ;->
