Lyrics[edit]

Tune-Up[edit]

Bart:

Dad, taking the family to opening night is the nicest thing you've ever done for us.

Homer:

Or will ever do.

Lisa:

I can't wait to see this re-imagining of Itchy & Scratchy by avant-garde director Juliana Krellner.

Homer:

Hey, it says here "the book" was written by Tom Stoppard. This isn't a book, it's a play! [laughs] Book.

King of Cats Opening[edit]

African Man:

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamishtanaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, kimanee sayfaloooooooooooooor...

Old Cat:

All hail the king of the cats.

Cast:

Sayfalooooooor, sayfaloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooor...

Marge:

[gasps] They're coming down the aisles! What if they want to interact with me? Looking through my purse, looking through my purse, keep walking, monkey!

Bart:

Don't worry, Mom, they all pass by.

Marge:

Oh thank God. [a monkey immediately walks up and starts to "talk" to her. Confused, Marge makes monkey noises back]

Bart:

[chuckles]

Two Days, Two Circles[edit]

Cast:

Itchy, Scratchy, Itchy Itchy, Scratchy.

Itchy, Scratchy, Itchy Itchy, Scratchy.

[repeats throughout]

Wise Old Cat:

From the day you are born in the alley,

To the day you are hit by a car.

There's cream to drink and mice to eat,

And great big balls of ya-a-a-a-rn.

It's the circle, the circle of-

Baby Itchy:

Knife!

Slices of Life[edit]

Lisa:

I love the use of streamers as blood. It robs the violence of its power.

Bart:

Woo-hoo! I'm drenched in "blood"!

It's Symbiotic[edit]

Scratchy:

I don't know why I trust him,

I guess some cats just never learn.

Itchy:

I feel so good when I have crushed him,

Or left him mangled, maimed and burned.

Itchy and Scratchy:

I suppose it's symbiotic,

And perhaps a bit erotic,

Scratchy:

Cause pain is my narcotic.

Itchy:

You really like it?

Scratchy:

Yes, a lot-ic!

Itchy & Scratchy:

And that's why we're always...

Itchy:

Fighting.

Scratchy:

And biting.

Itchy:

And dynamite igniting.

Homer:

Hey, check it out, I'm Scratcher or something.

Knives Finale[edit]

Cast:

It's the circle, the circle of knife!

It's the circle, the circle of knives!

Behind the Laughter[edit]

"Two Days, Two Circles" and "Knives Finale" are parodies of "Circle of Life" from The Lion King. "It's Symbiotic" is a parody of "I Don't Know How to Love Him" from the rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar.
