Dinner at Tom and Peggy’s. I am in a state of repletion to which I may apply words like total, explosive and entire. Bacon strips over chicken breasts. Zow.
The second part of my “three songs by January 25th challenge” is now complete. I have written a Buffy filk about Joyce. Ahoy, nautilus3, I am now recycling meh-ish songs into Buffy filks. Ramen! Joss Whedon and Fox own all the characters.
TTTO If I could write a song for you (by moi, couple of years back)
You think I haven’t got a clue –
I’m telling you it’s no small task
To be the Slayer’s single mom
Well how hard can it be? I’m glad you asked!
She’s constantly in trouble
And spoiling for a fight
But if my girl’s out kicking demon ass I know the world will be all right
Chorus.
I tell her “Get your homework in on time”
“Try hard to be home by nine”
“When I ask how you are, say, “Fine! I just saved the world… again!””
Every season brings a change, the Scoobies fight a new “Big Bad”
And rabid fans don’t think you’re strange if you won’t watch ‘the Body’ ’cause it’s sad!
You must admit I’m special – Buffy could have done much worse
And that I really am the bestest mother in the whole damned Whedonverse!
Chorus
Bridge
Sometimes I reminisce and sift through memories I like
I get all misty-eyed about the time I clobbered Spike
I’ve been assaulted and enchanted, I take Hellmouth stuff in stride
I’m telling you it’s parenthood that’s oftentimes a much more scary ride
It’s all about the teamwork – it’s all about fair play
But I’d appreciate if you don’t ask about my fling with Giles today
Chorus
Repeat “I just saved the world… again!”
Spoken: “That’s my girl!
Note to Lady Miss Banjola… big time lyric changes from tonight’s recording but the shape of the song has not changed. Suggestions for additional lyrics/verses gratefully accepted!
