(to the tune of “Everything’s Coming Up Roses”)
We’re in a play, about death and life, baby
It’s got heart and strife, baby
A fork and a knife, and baby
We will spin while we eat
And we’ll all hear Manou take a beat
Rick may snap, but he’s sweet
Honey, this is Omnium Gatherum
It’s one act, just one scene
And it starts with an orgasmic bean
Kevin clucks and he cleans
Honey, this is Omnium Gatherum
Susie serves each course
Of our gourmet dinner
The food’s a tour de force
We’re not getting any thinner
Will Jeff break Sandarbh’s neck?
At least he’s not talking ‘bout Star Trek
Shiny things will distract
Daniel knows those who act
When Julia sings, the dogs perk up their ears
Honey, this is a play they’ll still talk about for many years
We’ll eat cous cous
Topped with tofu or lamb
John’s jokes so profuse
We know we’re really getting ham
We’ll argue politics
Who knows how to give Rich the Heimlich?
Pat designed a cool set
The “red wine” makes Jan fret
Will Lydia ever get something to eat?
Honey, this soiree has a guest terrorist and mille feuille
Backstage is a big hand crank and a lot of smoke
Crew’s on top of light and sound cues and running food
Everything’s coming together for a stellar show!
