(TUNE: “Tonight” from West Side Story, Bernstein & Sondheim)
De-light! De-light!
This train, we will de-light!
There’s no one as delighted as we!
We’ll fight, we’ll fight
The zombies, left and right …
Miss McGuire, are you chew-ing on me?
Sit tight!
I’ll show that I’m so clever!
I’ll pull this ten-stone lever …
That didn’t turn out right!
Alas! Alack!
The situation’s black,
To our slight …
De-light!
tune: “Put Your Head on My Shoulder,” Paul Anka
Take your teeth from my shoulder
Please don’t gnaw on me, Seanan
I fear jaws that are yawnin’
So please tell me that it’s you
Take your teeth from my shoulder
Darkness should be romantic
But right now it’s just frantic
What the hell did Toboz do?
Pulled a lever meant to stop
All the experiments
We’ll get GODOT
If we survive this
Unintended consequence
Take your teeth from my shoulder
I feel cold and not hot lips
It’s a zombie apoc’lypse
So please fire a round or two
Get these teeth off my shoulder!
Very nicely done!
Back atcha.
Nothing good ever comes from shutting off a giant switch like that. Just ask Walter Peck.
Well, it got Shaenon out of drawing the last two frames ^_^
Ain’t no sound effect like a good old KACHUNK.
The little frog was painted pink
What does the pinkie froggie think
I’ll tell.you what the froggie thunk
He thunk kachunk, kachunk, kachunk
I didn’t expect this for another day at least.
Well, on the bright side, things . . . .
Never mind, forgot where I was. I look forward to the next level of “bad” to be unveiled.
As an aside, can anyone else see Tip using that line even if there wasn’t a zombie apocalypse on the way?
ayep. In a heartbeat.
Depends. If he’s with someone with the last name McGuire, sure. If he’s with someone else, well, yeah sure.
Did anyone else start reading the “we fought our way” line and mentally fill in “to the castle beyond the goblin city”?
I’m guessing 3:1 that it totally is her.
