Slaughtering Song Lyrics / Unusual Remixes
Part 1:
Aladdin’s “A Whole New World”
+ “Reading Rainbow” mashup.
Books can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, honest, now when did
You last dream of books to buy?
Books can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride
A whole new world
A new fantastic book to read
No one to tell us “No!”
Or question us
“You sure you need another?”
A whole new book
A dazzling place we never knew
We can go anywhere
Or be anything
Now that I'm in a whole new world with you
(I'm reading on a rainbow with you)
Butterfly in the sky
We can fly twice as high
Just take a look, it’s in a book
From our reading nook we spy
A whole rainbow
(Don't you dare close your eyes)
A hundred thousand things to read
(Friends to know, ways to grow)
We’re literary stars, we’ve read so much
But we can’t go back to our old library
A whole new book
With brand new plot lines to pursue
We’ll chase them anywhere
No time to spare
All our library books are overdue
A whole new world (a whole new world)
A new fantastic book to read
No one to tell us “No!”
Or question us
“You sure you need another?”
A whole new book (every twist, a surprise)
With brand new plot lines to pursue
(every page, every chapter)
We'll chase them anywhere
No time to spare
All our library books are overdue
A whole new world (a whole rainbow)
That's where we'll be (that's where we'll read)
A thrilling chase (a wondrous place)
For you and me

Part 2:
Pat Benetar’s “Heartbreaker” lyrics
as my foggy memory once recalled them.
(Attempt 1)…
She’s a
Heart-breaker
Speed-racer
Nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nahhhh
…(Let’s try that again)…
She’s a
Speed-racer
Free nuh nuhhh
NAH NAH NAH NAH
Don’t you come
Round here no more!
…(Maybe that’s closer?)…
She’s a
Speed-racer
Heart-chaser
Nah nah nah nah
Nuh nuh nuh nuh
Nuh nuh
Nuh
No?
…(Hell I don’t know)…
…(Girlfriend dies laughing at me)…

Part 3:
All to the tune of “Little Drummer Boy”
except the very last* line.
The wheels on the bus
Go round and round
Bahhh-rum-bah-bum-bum
The baby on the bus
Cries wah wah wah
Bahhh-rum-bah-bum-bum
Lil babe
I’ma poor boy too
Bahhh-rum-bah-bum-bum
The Mum on the bus
Says shh shh shh
Bahhh-rum-bah-bum-bum
Rum-bah-bum-bum
Rum-bah-bum-bum
I ask shall I
Play a lullaby
Bahhh-rum-bah-bum-bum
On my drum
Mum nodded and
Rocked him in time
Bahhh-rum-bah-bum-bum
Others on the
Bus quieted
Bahhh-rum-bah-bum-bum
I played my drum
On the bus for him
Bahhh-rum-bah-bum-bum
I played my very
Best for him
Bahhh-rum-bah-bum-bum
Rum-bah-bum-bum
Rum-bah-bum-bum
Then he smiled at me
Bahhh-rum-bah-bum-bum
Me and my drum
…All through the town - HONK HONK! *
