Don’t cry for me Ike it’s Tina  
The truth is I have left you  
All through our wild days  
Our mad existence  
I kept my promise  
Please keep your distance

MIDNIGHT! All alone in the moonlight! from “Cats” has to be belted out on occasion, just to keep everyone on their toes.

And whenever I see a light in the distance, I cannot resist singing “There’s a li-ii-iii-iiiiight…over at the Frankenstein place!” from “Rocky Horror.”

My Fav song to burst into is “Sweet Transvestite” from _Rocky Horror_, but I have also been known to do:

“Skid Row” and “Mean, Green Mutha from Outer Space”–Little Shop of Horrors  
“Manchester, England”–_Hair_  
“Hopelessly Devoted”–_Grease_  
“Hard Candy Christmas”–_Best Little Whorehouse in Texas_  
BTW, I am a hetrosexsual male, and I love the musicals
