Song for Scod
|
| |
|
|
|
(This song was added to the end of the show partway through the 2003 Christmas season of Lady Robots at the Opera House)

|
|
Tripod:
|
Three men embarked on a journey, unsure of what they could find.
|
|
|
The one with the eyes found a robot,
|
|
|
The one with the hair found himself,
|
|
|
The one with the glasses found... squat.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a song for Scod,
|
|
|
Song for Scod.
|
|
|
|
|
Yon:
|
Scod didn't get the girl,
|
|
|
Scod didn't save the day.
|
|
|
Nor did Scod affect the plot,
|
|
|
In any substantial way.
|
|
|
It might as well have been,
|
|
Yon and Gatesy:
|
A two-man play.

Scod:
|
Song for Scod,
|
|
|
Song for Scod,
|
|
|
Song for... (Trails off)

|
|
|
Yon:
|
We've finished that bit.
|
|
Scod:
|
That's my favourite part!
|
|
|
|
|
Yon:
|
This was a play about nerds triumphing against the odds. But it was just a play.
|
|
Gatesy:
|
The actors in this show are not nerds. They lead active social lives in the real world.
|
|
Scod:
|
They do not take refuge from the real world in fantasy novels or Buffy DVD box sets.
|
|
Gatesy:
|
If anything, they're talented musicians with an irreverent sense of humour.
|
|
|
|
|
Yon:
|
Except for Scod, he actually is a nerd.

|
|
|
We've tied up all the plotlines in our epic play,
|
|
|
Except the thing about how Yonny might be gay,
|
|
|
And in case you were wondering, we got home okay...
|
|
|
|
|
|
Except for Scod,
|
|
|
But that's a tale for another day...
|
|
|
|
|
|
Da-da-da-da-dum!
