Melanie
lyrics (c)1987
by Nancy Louise Freeman
tune: "Guenevere" by Alan Jay Lerner & Frederick Loewe
From The Once and Future Doctor
CHORUS:
Born of sugar, born to kill,
The blancmonges had their fill;
Horrible monstrosities,
Deaf unto their victims' pleas!
THE DOCTOR:
Far from where the battle's fought,
There the Doctor, deep in thought,
Heard a voice scream stridently:
Come and rescue Melanie!
[instrumental and dance break]
CHORUS:
Melanie stood her ground
As the creatures closed around
With intent of felony,
Spelling doom for Melanie,
Melanie, Melanie,
Melaniee, Melanieee,
Melaniieeeeeeeee!
