Subject: Some Seasonal Songs Date: 10 Dec 1998 From: Marita Chisholm Seasons Greetings..... Here are a couple of "Christmas" songs. I sing a lot at various functions and after Christmas Carol practice decided to write some 'songs'.. I enjoyed the Christmas Carols that were written by Charles Norris last year and this year decided to accept his challenge of writing new versions to Christmas Carols and songs. I hope you enjoy what I have come up with (the Havana Golds helped immensely). My singing tutor would have kittens if she saw these songs. Regards...Marita. DECK THE LAUNCH BAY Deck the launch bay with boughs of holly, fa la la la la la la la la Tis the season to be jolly fa la la la la la la la la Don we now our flight apparel fa la la la la la la la la To the vipers we now scramble fa la la la la la la la la See the Cylons here before us fa la la la la la la la la Fire now and see their peril fa la la la la la la la la Follow me back to the lounge bar fa la la la la la la la la Listen to Adama's boring speeches fa la la la la la la la la What's Apollo got me for Christmas fa la la la la la la la la Fast away the old yahren passes fa la la la la la la la la Hail the new yahren lads and lasses fa la la la la la la la la Maybe Starbuck will finally seal fa la la la la la la la Fa la la la la la la la BALTAR GOT RUN OVER BY A VIPER (Grandma got run over by a reindeer) Baltar got run over by a viper Walking in front of Starbuck Christmas Eve He said I'm really very sorry My insurance company will be in touch Baltar said he was speeding Apollo he argued the case Said Starbuck should be let off with a warning And poor Adama just shook his head Adama he said to Starbuck Your licence should be revoked But with Apollo as your lawyer I'll just send you to the brig instead Baltar got run over by a viper He really should have moved And maybe he wouldn't have got injured And our hero wouldn't be stuck in jail Now we're all so proud of Starbuck He's been taking it so well But Apollo as his lawyer Was sure justice had not prevailed Adama warned them not to push it Or they'd be forever in the brig Said neither should have a licence Till they apologized for running Baltar down Sing it Adama! Baltar got run over by a viper It really was his own fault He really shouldn't have frakked off Starbuck Hey Apollo get me outta jail! Now let this be a lesson As I am getting tired of this I just want to find planet Earth And maybe then I can retire Baltar got run over by a viper Walking in front of Starbuck Christmas Eve And you didn't bring us presents Starbuck's still locked up in jail Sing it Baltar! BALTAR RULES??? (Baltar's reply to him being run over) Baltar got run over by a viper Starbuck was then locked up in jail Baltar stood there yelling for a lynching Apollo was out there trying to raise bail It was not a pretty picture Baltar's clothes all ripped and torn Baltar tends to be vindictive And poor Starbuck maybe sorry he was born Misleading litigation It was all a great big scam Starbuck gave Baltar a present In hopes that he could shut him up Word moved around the Battlestar People came from far and wide An IFB poll was taken And everybody was on Starbuck's side Pilots gathered in the lounge bar Pleading for their guy in blue Said if Starbuck stays inside there All the warriors here won't holler boo Baltar got run over by a viper Starbuck was then locked up in jail Baltar stood there yelling for a lynching Apollo was out there trying to raise bail Now Adama will release him We'll all cheer for that tan coat One thing we all know for certain Poor Adama has just lost old Baltar's vote Next yahren, Starbuck pay attention As this fine you now must pay Here's the rule you must remember On the basestar Baltar has right of way Baltar got run over by a viper Starbuck was then locked up in jail Baltar stood there yelling for a lynching Apollo was out there trying to raise bail Baltar got run over by a viper Starbuck was then locked up in jail Apollo found the cubits And his friend is now out of jail!
