Song by Xanadu Cast<br /><br>

Melpomene: Apparently, there is no success nor joy for you nor I. <br>

And now, Clio is to be granted Xanadu! <br>

Would that I were a god, I would smite her.<br>

<br>

Calliope: Ooo, sister, sister! You are such a . . . <br>

<br>

Melpomene:<br>

Evil woman<br>

<br>

Calliope:<br>

(Guitar noise)<br>

<br>

Melpomene:<br>

Evil woman<br>

<br>

Calliope:<br>

(Guitar)<br>

<br>

Melpomene:<br>

Evil woman<br>

<br>

Calliope:<br>

(Guitar)<br>

<br>

Melpomene:<br>

Evil woman<br>

<br>

Rolled in from another town<br>

Hit some gold, too hot to settle down<br>

But a fool and his money soon go separate ways<br>

And you found a fool lyin' in a daze<br>

<br>

Both:<br>

Ha, ha <br>

<br>

Melpomene:<br>

Woman<br>

What you gonna do<br>

You destroyed all the virtues that the Lord gave you<br>

It's so good that you're feelin' pain<br>

But you better get your face on board the very next train<br>

<br>

Both:<br>

Hey, hey, hey, hey <br>

Evil woman, evil woman<br>

<br>

Melpomene:<br>

Evil woman, hey<br>

<br>

Calliope:<br>

You’re an evil woman<br>

<br>

Melpomene:<br>

Evil woman<br>

<br>

I know what lets do!<br>

<br>

Calliope: What lets?<br>

<br>

Melpomene: What lets use our muse powers and place a curse upon our sister. <br>

That she falls in love with this mortal!<br>

<br>

Both:<br>

Hey, hey, hey, hey<br>

<br>

Calliope: What a glorious prank. We shall do the curse, she shall be in love! <br>

And by Zeus’ decree . . . Be put to death!<br>

<br>

Both:<br>

Hey, hey, hey, hey<br>

<br>

Melpomene: Oh, come my daughter Sirens. <br>

Come join your mother and aunt in mean-spirited melody!<br>

<br>

Sirens:<br>

You’re an evil woman.<br>

<br>

Calliope:<br>

Evil woman how you done me wrong<br>

But now you're trying to wail a different song<br>

<br>

Both:<br>

Ha, ha <br>

<br>

Calliope:<br>

Ah, funny how you broke me up<br>

You made the wine now you drink a cup<br>

I came a-runnin' every time you cried<br>

I thought I saw love smilin' in your eyes<br>

Ha, ha very nice to know<br>

That you ain't got no place left to go<br>

All:<br>

Hey, hey, hey, hey<br>

<br>

Sirens:<br>

Evil woman<br>

<br>

Melpomene:<br>

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah<br>

<br>

Sirens:<br>

Evil woman<br>

<br>

Calliope:<br>

Not a nice lady!<br>

<br>

Sirens:<br>

Evil woman, <br>

<br>

Melpomene:<br>

Hey, hey, hey<br>

<br>

Sirens:<br>

Evil woman<br>

<br>

All:<br>

Evil Woman<br>

<br>
