Ok, I admit this is pretty weak:

“A modern day warrior  
mean, mean stride,  
Today’s VogueVixen  
mean, mean pride”

LOL!

Adrock, light up the place

Dope Town Races Singalong  
doo dah doo dah  
Cecil Adams Knows it all  
Oh the doo dah day  
Oh the doo dah DAY  
Oh the doo dah day  
Dope Town Races Singalong  
Oh the doo dah day.

PurpleCrackWhore and I don’t care  
PurpleCrackWhore and I don’t care  
Satan and DrainBead sittin in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G, first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes demonspawn in a baby carriage. Sucking his claw, wetting his pants, doing the dirty demon dance!

Scintillate scintillate, splendorindific  
How can I fathom thy nature specific?  
Poised far above in the atmosphere spacious  
glittering like a gem carbonacious  
Scintillate scintillate, splendorindific  
How can I fathom thy nature specific?

You know Falcon, Ayesha, UncleBeer, and Satan,  
you know David and manny and UkeIke and Luoie,  
but do you recall the most famous Dopester of all?  
Demo the drunkard Dopester,  
had a very shiny nose  
and if you ever saw it  
you would surely say “It glows!”  
All of the other Dopesters  
used to laugh and call him names.  
But they all liked that Demo  
and let him play Dopester games.  
Then one foggy Flag Day’s Eve,  
Cecil came to say,  
“Demo with your nose so bright,  
won’t you just get drunk tonight?”  
And all the Dopesters loved him,  
as they shouted out in awe  
“Demo the red-nosed dopester,  
CECIL TALKED TO YOU, OH MY GOD”

One dope two dope  
red dope blue dope

Tureluralura! Tureluralie! Tureluralura! It’s a doper’s lullaby.

**Canuck Song**

Bang bang Canucks  
Canucks bang all day  
who’s gonna bang my Canuck  
when I go away?

A quarter for a Falcon  
A nickel for DrainBead  
Me I’ll stick with them Canucks  
they do it all for free.

Bang bang Canucks  
Canucks bang all day  
who’s gonna bang my Canuck  
when I go away?

Canucks all have boyfriends,  
their boyfriends all have trucks  
Theif boyfriends like to shift  
Canucks like to …

Bang bang Canucks  
Canucks bang all day  
who’s gonna bang my Canuck  
when I go away?

**Surgoshan** :  
There’s a bunch of birds in the sky  
and some deers just went running by  
Oh the snow’s pure and white  
on the Earth rich and brown,  
just another Sunday morning  
in my quiet Dopester town

Oh the sun is shining and the trolls are green  
under the three feet of dirt, I mean  
This is an evening when it’s hard to wear a frown

All the friendly people stop to say “hello” [get outta my way]  
even though the temperature’s low  
It’s a perfect Sunday evening in my quiet, little Dopester town.

**Me** : Cecil, how did they make this movie?  
**Cecil** : A movie?  
**Me** : Yeah, it’s a foreign film from Canada!  
**Cecil** : Well, all right.

**Cecil** :  
Oh what a picture perfect teemer  
just like Zotti he’s tender and mild  
he wore a smile when they took a picture of him and said it was me!  
What an angel with a heart so sweet and sure  
and a mind so open and pure  
Thank God I live in this quiet, redneck Dopester town.

**Me** : Dude, dude, wake up!  
Manny, come on!  
**Manny** : hmmnhm  
**Me** : Manny, the new Straight Dope book is out, wanna go get it?  
**Manny** : thmmn nn nmimn? nmnm!  
**Manny’s Mom** : Where do you think you’re going?  
**Manny** : nn mmn hnm hmmnmnce nmn nnnmninm nnmni.  
**Manny’s Mom** : You can’t, you have to go to church.  
**Manny** : nmnm mmm, i wnnnm nne hnm nnmnninm ninminm mnni!  
**Manny’s Mom** : Well, fine, you go ahead and miss church. Then, when you die and go to hell, you can answer to Satan!  
**Manny** : mnmn

**Surgoshan** :  
You can see your breath hanging in the air  
you see homeless people (and I guess you care)  
It’s a see of smiles in which we’d be glad to drown!  
**Manny** :  
hnmo jihnm joi hno im jnom  
hj io imjn h mj o ih nji mo !  
**Me** :  
That’s right!  
It’s Sunday morning in our quiet, white bread, redneck Dopester town!

**(Ukelele) Ike**:  
ba ba bab baa ba ba!  
**Kyla** :  
Ready Ike? Kick the baby!  
**Ike** :  
Don’t kick the baby.  
**Kyla** :  
Kick the baby.  
**Kyla’s mom** : Ike! You broke another window! That’s a bad baby! BAD BABY!  
**Me** : Kyla, we’re going to get the new Dope book.  
**Kyla** : Oh my God, dude!  
**Kyla’s Mom** : Kyla, where are you going?  
**Kyla** : Uh, we’re going ice skating.  
**Kyla’s Mom** : Well take your baby brother with you.  
**Kyla** : Aw, mom, he’s not even my real brother, he’s adopted!  
**Kyla’s Mom** : Do as I say, Kyla!  
**Kyla** : Okay, okay, I’m sorry.

**Kyla’s Mom** :  
Look at those frail and fragile kids  
it really gets me down  
The woild is such a rotten place  
and city life’s a complete disgrace!  
That’s why I moved to this redneck, machauvinist, quiet, dopester, TOOOOOWN!

Ike! Bad baby!

**Ike** : Bee bor bah.

**Announcer** : This program brought to you by Snacky Smores, the creamy fun of S’Mores with a delightful cookie crunch.

_[ding dong]_  
**MaxTorque** : Mom, somebody’s at the door!  
**MaxTorque’s Mom** : Coming Hon.  
**MaxTorque** : Hey, I can’t see TV!  
**News Anchor** : It’s been 6 weeks since Phaedrus was killed by a pack of wild boars, and the board is still glad to be rid of him.  
**MaxTorque’s Mom** : Oh, look, Jason, it’s your little friends!  
**Ike** : MaxTorque!!  
**MaxTorque** : What are you guys doing here?  
**Me** : [holds up clipping of ad for new book]  
**MaxTorque** : Oh, SWEET, Dude! Yes! YES!

**ALL** :  
So off to the bookstore we shall go,  
where we learn everything that we know,  
because Cecil teaches us what our parents don’t have time to say!  
And this book is gonna make our lives complete,  
because Cecil Adams is sweet ( **MaxTorque** : Super sweet)  
Thank God we live in the quiet little redneck podunk white trash  
**Manny** : hnnmmn mnmh!  
**ALL** :  
U  
S  
AAAAA!

**Me** : Could I have five copies of Cecil Adam’s latest book, please?

See, it’s not that tough to do, just take a song and change one word, over and over and over again, maybe change another word for rhyming purposes.

_{We join our operetta already in progress. The infamous Pirates of Creationism have just seized a bevy of beautiful Doper maidens, and are attempting to carry them off for matrimonial purposes. OpalCat intervenes, with a recitative: (well, it’s better than Muzak)}_

OpalCat:

Hold scoundrels! Ere ye practice acts of irrationality  
Upon the peaceful and honest  
Just bear in mind, these maidens of the Great Debates  
Are guarded by an Reference Librarian

Pirates:

We’d better all rethink our dirty plan  
They’re guarded by an Reference Librarian

Maidens:

Yes yes, he is an Reference Librarian.

_{Cecil Adams wanders in from the wings, thumbing a 1986 World Almanac}_

Cecil:

Yes, yes, I am a Reference Librarian!

_{The orchestra starts up.}_

I am the very model of a Reference Librarian,  
I’ve answered readers questions both urban and agrarian.  
In knowlege I’ve no equal: secular or Presbyterian,  
I’ve even answered questions posed by Slyth and Libertarian!

I insult the correspondents who ask questions quite pedestrian,  
But answer all who ask me even if it gives me a big pain,  
No question goes unanswered even if for years alone its lain,  
I even know that “dollar” comes from coins on the Spanish Main.

Chorus:

He even knows that “dollar” comes from coins on the Spanish Main!

Cecil:

My knowlege is complete and my manner is ironical,  
I know everthing there is about the sections that are conical,  
I’ve studied every word put down by modern or an Ancient Greek  
It’s rumored that into the mind of God I’ve had a little peek.

Chorus:

He’s studied every word put down by modern or an Ancient Greek,  
And it’s rumored that into the mind of God he’s had a little peek!

Cecil:

I wake up every morning and I sort through all my readers’ mail,  
I read out questions ‘til I find one asking about humans’ tails  
I tell them why a city’s smog makes thunderstorms and hail  
And if saltpeter really will cool off the bulk of ardor male.  
I even answer questions bout big topics: life and death and sin,  
'Bout spots on fingernails caused by defective keratin,  
On grosser topics I’ve not ever quailed long from weighing in,  
I know all about the consequences of, um, bilirubin!

_{The music crashes to a halt, as the Chorus stares at Cecil in utter confusion. He sighs.}_

It’s the thing that makes (ahem) fecal matter brown: a potent brownish-yellow pigment, which is found in the bile. It’s what is left over when red blood cells die off and decompose, as they normally do throughout your life.

_{Light dawns on the Chorus, and the music resumes.}_

Sheesh . . .

Chorus:

He knows all about the consequences of, um, bilirubin!

Cecil:

I know how gelatin is made from decomposing cattle hides,  
I know if Cesaer was indeed killed on the steps on March’s ides,  
Why something old is needed on the dress of every blushing bride,  
And why the calendar is screwed up by the force of Luna’s tides,  
There is no mysetry what’s beneath a common Scotman’s tartan kilt,  
How swallowers get down the sword all the way to the very hilt,  
I know the words to Louie Louie 'cause the song has such a lilt,  
But never ever ask me why it’s “building” and it’s never “built”!

Chorus:

Never ever ask him why it’s “building” and it’s never “built!”

Cecil:

Come to me if for the facts you’re always seeming hungry,  
But don’t ask stupid questions if you don’t want to see me angry,  
I’ll tell you this just one more time and hope you’ll have the sense to see,  
There isn’t any other common word, dammit, that ends with -gry!

Chorus:

He’ll tell you this jut one more time and hope you’ll have the sense to see,  
There isn’t any other common word, dammit, that ends with -gry!

If Cecil Adams did not exist, we would be obliged to create Him.
