Lyrics

Tune-Up

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

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

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

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

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

Cast:

It's the circle, the circle of knife!

It's the circle, the circle of knives!

Behind the Laughter

"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.
