Salome (莎乐美) - Andrew Lloyd Webber (安德鲁·劳埃德·韦伯)/Kevin Anderson/Patti LuPone

Written by:Andrew Lloyd Webber

Salome what a woman what a part

Innocent body and a sinful heart

Inflaming herod's lust

But secretly loving a holy man

No one could play her like I can

Well I had nothing urgent coming up

I thought I might as well skim it

It's fun to see how bad bad writing can be

This promised to go to the limit

There's so many great scenes I can't wait

A boiling cauldron of love and hate

She toys with herod

'Til he's putty in her hands

He reels tormented through the desert sands

It sure was a real cheery set up

The wind wheezing through that organ

Max shuffling around and a dead ape dumped on a shelf

And her staring like a gorgon

They drag the baptist up from the jails

She dances the dance of the seven veils

Herod says I'll give you anything

Now it was time for some comedy relief

The guy with the baby casket

Must have seen a thing or two that chimp

Shame it was too late to ask it

Have you got to the scene where asks for his head

If she can't have him living

She'll take him dead

They bring in his head on a silver tray

She kisses his mouth it's a great screenplay

It got to be eleven I was feeling ill

What the hell was I doing

Melodrama and sweet champagne

And a garbled plot from a scrambled brain

But I had my own plot brewing

Just how old is Salome

Sixteen

Could be it's a little long

Maybe the opening's wrong

But it's extremely good for a beginner

No it's a perfect start

I wrote that with my heart

The river bank the baptist and the sinner

Shouldn't there be some dialogue

I can say anything I want with my eyes

It could use a few cuts

I will not have it butchered

I'm not talking limb from limb

I just mean a little trim

All you need is someone who can edit

I want someone with a knack

Not just any studio hack

And don't think for a moment I'd share credit

When were you born

December 21st why

I like sagittarians you can trust them

Thanks

I want you to do this work

Max

Take Mr. Gillis to the guest room

We'll begin a nine sharp

I made up the bed this afternoon

Thanks

See you

She's quite a character isn't she that Norma Desmond
