Show Me

Lyrics by Tatiana Nikolaevna Tumanova

(To the Tune of: Show Me from My Fair Lady)

Speak and my sword will go out swinging and my foeman will to death be lured
Touch and my enemies will crumble, the losers tumble, darling, and I –
Words, words, words, I’m so sick of words
I get words all day through, first from them, now from you
Is that all you fighters can do
Don’t talk of crowns before you begin, if you can win – show me
Tell me no dreams filled with desire, if you aspire – show me
Here we are together in the early morning light
Don’t talk of Courts, just win the fight
Anyone who’s ever won a Lists will tell you that
This is no time for a chat
Haven’t you talked of winning and such, now you’re in dutch – show me
Show me
Don’t talk of how you’ll do it in time, make me no undying vow –
Show me now
Sing me no song, read me no rhyme, don’t waste my time – show me
Don’t talk of June, don’t talk of Fall, don’t talk at all – show me
Never do I ever want to hear another word, there isn’t one I haven’t heard
Here’s we are attending Invocation of the Lists
You can’t get closer than this
Haven’t you talked of winning in time, I think that’s fine – show me
Show me
Don’t give me words with your old line, don’t stop to make me a bow –
Show me now
