Jim Brooks treated the Company to a Dr. Seuss blues rendition of “When the Night Wind Howls” at the 2005 Last Gasp Cast Bash, performed by members of the company
Rod:
Yes, my name is Rod and that rhymes with cod,
And I Rhyme couplets night and day.
Oh, the witch’s curse makes me sing in verse,
In a Doctor Seuss-like way.
Just like One fish, two, red fish and blue,
I try, but I can’t refuse,
And I’ll never take this for one more day.
Ghosts! Help me sing tha-ah blues!
Ghosts:
The blues!
Rod:
Oh ghosts! Help me sing the blues!
Ghosts:
All right! The bluuuuues!
We’ll help you sing the blues!
Rod:
Rather rob and steal, it’s really no big deal,
But this rhyming is a crime.
Could not shoot a fox,
Would not in a box I’m rhyming all of the time.
Would not in a house,
Could not with a mouse, I can’t stop, so what’s the use?
For I’ll never take this for one more day,
Ghouls help me sing tha-ah blues!
Ghosts:
Oh Yeah!
Rod:
Oh ghouls! Help me sing the blues!
Ghosts:
Get Down! The bluuuuues!
We’ll help you; we’ll sing the blues!
Rod:
Ghost of Dr. Suess ’pears each night in puce,
And demands I repeat his words,
No! You can’t believe, my sense has taken leave.
And I know it sounds absurd!
But I meant what I said and I said what I meant,
(Spoken) Bad Baronet’s faithful 100 percent,
Oh! I can’t take this for one more day,
Art, help me sing tha-ah blues
Ghosts:
Good God!
Rod:
Oh Art, help me sing the blues!
Ghosts:
Right On!
The bluuuues!
We’ll help you, we’ll sing the blues.
Good Lord! We’re Through!
