OVER THE RAINBOW
(to the tune of "Old Dunn Cow", Irish folk tune, in the style of the Belles of Bedlam's parody "Cock and Bulls")
Lyrics (c)2005 Emi M. Briet and Amelia M. Samples

Ivana and Emi at the OTR
Were singin' with the girls one night
When into the bar a young patron ran
Her face all chalky white
"What's up?" said Dana, "Have you seen a ghost?
I could try to sing Mariah?"
"Mariah Carey be buggered," says she
"The bleeding bar's on fire!"

"Oh well," said Emi, "What a stroke of luck
Everybody follow me!
And it's down to the cellar if no one's there
Then we'll have a grand old spree!"
So down we went with Emi hell-bent
Ivana bringing up the rear
And we hadn't been there ten minutes or more
'Til we were up to our necks in beer!

CHORUS
With Jo and Char tending to the bar
Mopping up the whiskey on the floor
"Booze, booze!" The drag kings cried
And Ben came knocking at the door
Oh don't let him in 'til it's all drunk up
And somebody shouted: "LET'S GET WIRED!" ("LET'S GET WIRED!")
And we all got blue blind paralytic drunk
When the OTR caught fire

Then Mia burst in with a battle cry
"As long as we are here
Let's get some singers up on the floor
Now that we're sloshed with beer!"
John W found his mighty sound
Sang a song about sex on the dunes
Then Morgan piped up, "Why bother rotate,
Let everyone sing the tunes!"

CHORUS
With Jo and Char tending to the bar
Mopping up the whiskey on the floor
"Booze, booze!" The drag kings cried
And Ben came knocking at the door
Oh don't let him in 'til it's all drunk up
And somebody shouted: "DYKE FOR HIRE!" ("WILL WORK FOR STOLI!!")
And we all got blue blind paralytic drunk
When the OTR caught fire

In a corner dark want a blazing spark
As a beam went up in flames
Up Michael ran, full mug in his hand
To try to douse the flame
As the beer rained down with a mournful sound
Sharlene gave an anguished cry
"Why waste the beer we recycled here?
Those flames are way too high!"

CHORUS
With Jo and Char tending to the bar
Mopping up the whiskey on the floor
"Booze, booze!" The drag kings cried
And Ben came knocking at the door
Oh don't let him in 'til it's all drunk up
And somebody shouted: "CHOP THAT SPIRE!!" ("CHOP THAT SPIRE!!")
And we all got blue blind paralytic drunk
When the OTR caught fire

And then there came a mighty crash
Half the bloody room caved in
Ivana lay in a pile of clothes
Wearing nothing but a grin
Dan lurched on by with a mighty sigh
And his drinks hit his lips with good cheer
We left Traci on the floor to make her own way to the door
At least we saved the beer!

CHORUS
With Jo and Char tending to the bar
Mopping up the whiskey on the floor
"Booze, booze!" The drag kings cried
And Ben came knocking at the door
Oh don't let him in 'til it's all drunk up
And somebody shouted: "DYKE FOR HIRE!!" ("DYKE FOR HIRE?!? AGAIN?!?")
"That was five minutes ago! I'm horny again!"
And we all got blue blind paralytic drunk
When the OTR caught fire

CHORUS
With Jo and Char tending to the bar
Mopping up the whiskey on the floor
"Booze, booze!" The drag kings cried
And Ben came knocking at the door
Oh don't let him in 'til it's all drunk up
And somebody shouted: "FIRE FIRE!!" ("FIRE FIRE!!")
And we all got blue blind paralytic drunk
When the OTR caught fire
