Parody LyricsOriginal Lyrics
Xena Ep: A Day In the Life
Setting: Xena and Gabrielle in the tub bantering, bickering, and bathing

 

G: Why must you always misbehave
G: Everytime that we bathe?
X: Where's the soap? Pardon my grope (wicked leer)
X: It's under you

G: How about you and I pretend
G: We're Bacchae once again (suggestive smile)
X: Black 'n Blue, a hickey or two
G: Just for you

X: As I lean in for a kiss
G: Hades! Minya barges in
G: And interrupts our cozy tete a tete
X: Her timing stinks can't she take a hint
X: I think I'll throw my chakram her way (growling)

G: You do mine and then I'll do yours (waggles eyebrows)
G: Please scrub my ears once more
X: Gimme the sponge, Gods! This is fun
X: Bathing you

G: I'm still mad about the pan
X: Oh, get off it Gabrielle (gives 'the look')
G: You used my scrolls, now you want to change our plan
X: For Gaia's sake... G: Don't you 'Gaia' me
G: I'll get you--OH!! Is that your hand?

X: Gab, you're tense, you really should relax
X: Close your eyes and lean back (purrs)
G: Xena please, I really need
G: All of you

X: Minya again?! Is there no end?
G: What to do?

Ahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you
G: We could tie Minya up
Ahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you
X: I dunno, she might like it
Ahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you
G: I *know* Hower would!
Ahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you
X: Gabrielle!

 

Why do birds suddenly appear
Everytime you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue

That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue

That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around.
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

Ahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you
Ahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you
Ahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you
Ahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you
