The following is set to the tune 'The Captain of the Pinafore'. Apologies to Gilbert & Sullivan.
I'm infringing on all kinds of copyrights, but I mean it in the best possible way. As always, feedback is welcome. My address is DEBTV57@Webtv.net
Murdoch:
I am a rancher from Inverness
Scott and Johnny:
And a successful one no doubt
Murdoch:
You both seem very tense
But if you have some sense
You will listen and not pout.
Scott and Johnny:
We both seem very tense
But if we have some sense
We will listen and not pout.
Murdoch:
For this ranch to last,
I say forget the past
But since you may think otherwise,
I will now clear the air,
However be aware,
I never will apologize.
Scott and Johnny:
What never?
Murdoch:
No, never.
Scott and Johnny:
What never!
Murdoch:
I said never!!
Scott and Johnny:
He never will apologize!
So give three cheers and not one less
For the stubborn rancher from Inverness
We give three cheers and not one less
For the rancher from Inverness.
Murdoch (to Scott):
I had been in Boston less than a year
When your mother married me.
Her father thought her daft,
But she only laughed
And we came out west happy.
Scott:
Grandfather thought her daft,
But she only laughed
And they came out west happy.
Murdoch (to Scott):
There were raids on the ranch.
I couldn't take a chance,
So I sent her to safety.
She died when you came along,
For she wasn't very strong.
And you I never got to see
Scott:
What never?
Murdoch:
No, never.
Scott:
What never!
Murdoch:
Well hardly ever!!
Scott and Johnny:
And me (Scott) he never got to see!
So give three cheers and not one less
For the grieving rancher from Inverness
We give three cheers and not one less
For the rancher from Inverness.
Murdoch (to Johnny):
I met your mother in Mexico
Johnny:
I already knew all that
Murdoch:
She had such great beauty,
I forgot my sense of duty
And you were quickly begat
Johnny:
She had such great beauty,
He forgot his sense of duty
And I was quickly begat
Murdoch:
Marriage was the answer
So she came to Lancer.
It was here you were born and then,
I woke up one dark day
She had taken you away.
I've never been in love again.
Scott and Johnny:
What never?
Murdoch:
No, never.
Scott and Johnny:
What never!
Murdoch:
Well hardly ever!!
Scott and Johnny:
He's never been in love again!
So give three cheers and not one less
For the lonely rancher from Inverness
We give three cheers and not one less
For the rancher from Inverness.
The End
