SPIKE: VAMPIRE SINGER

Mack the Knife lyrics (lilvalkrie's version)
Original Words and music by Kurt Weil
New words and music by lilvalkrie
Starring Spike the vampire and Buffy the Slayer while they were an item.
Cameos by the rest of the cast.

New composer's note: Spike is pronounced Spik-ee

Curtains up, spotlight is stage right
Enter Buffy & Spike, stage right, hand in hand.

B: Oh, the shark has pretty teeth dear

She kisses Spike

And he shows 'em, pearly white
Just two long fangs has Spike dear

Spike pretends to bite her, but she slaps him upside the head

And he keeps it way out of sight

Spike draws back with a blush

S: When that shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows begin to spread;
Drains 'em bone dry does Spike dear
And there's never, never a waste of red

Dancing ballroom style
Then someone throws Buffy a newspaper and she reads it then rolls it up and uses it like a cane

B: On the sidewalk, one Sunday morning
Lies a body, minus life,
Someone's sleeping in the crypt dear
Could that someone be vampire Spike?

Spike tries to look innocent

S: My girl Drusilla, split the scene, babe;
And your Angel, left the town!
B: Now Spike dear, is my favourite
Giles: Do you suppose Buffy's, done something rash?

Spike pushes Giles to the side and grabs Buffy by the waist.
More dancing. Then spike grabs Buffy by the hand and they flip in the air Matrix style.
Buffy comes down in a split and Spike lands on his feet. He draws her up and they do the jitterbug

B: My friend Willow, lost her boyfriend
Tried to cure heartache, but it didn't work!
Now something freaky is happenin'
To the friends she views as jerks!

Anya tap dances on stage and pushes B aside. B gives her a dirty look
Then looks around for Spike, who quickly wipes away a trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth

Anya: now Giles is blind

Giles staggers onstage blindly and crashes into Anya.
She shoves him offstage

And Spike proposed to Buff,

Spike goes on bended knee, then jumps up and twirls Buffy
They continue dancing

Xander attracts demons; will this spell his doom?

Xander runs across the stage screaming. Two monsters follow him.
Anya throws a bucket of water on one and melts it. There is a distant shout "Thanks! Arrgh!"

Buffy's crazy, 'bout a vampire
And she's gonna wed him soon!

Spike spins Buffy by the legs. But he miscalculates and lets go. She slides into the left wing
There is a crash. Riley runs across the stage and pounds Spike then goes in search of Buffy.

B: Demons offered Willow demon powers,
For the chaos she had caused|
But my best friend chose against them,
And is sorry for all she'd done!

S: & that's the story of this episode,
Sung by Buffy and vampire Spike,
With cameos from the cast,
To the sounds of Mack the knife.

there is big band music and they dance some more

Oh Sookie Tawdry, Jenny Diver,
Polly Peachum, Old Miss Lucy Brown

Enter Willow, Anya, embarrassed Xander and
thunderous-looking Giles both in drag and looking very bloodless
Spike licks his lips in happily

B: Hey the line forms, on the right dear

They join into a line and they do the Can Can.

Now that Spike's back in town
You'd better lock your doors, and call the Slayer
Because Spike ...

W & G,X & A echo after each other "Spik-ee" while the guys 'dip' the girls.
Xander smooches Anya while he's at it.

...Is back in town

They Can Can off the stage, to the left, but Xander gets his legs tangled up, and they go down like dominoes
A monster drags the line offstage. then it runs across the stage screaming, followed by the gang wielding weapons.
Buffy and Spike are left and he twirls Buffy into the wings. There is a muffled crash
She stalks out and kicks him. Hard. They argue and then end up kissing.
Giles drags them off stage.
The monster inches out onstage in a Tux and tap dances the "shave and a haircut: two pence!"

Curtains down
