Sanders Sides Songs Story

I Am The Walrus

None of the Sides appeared in specific places. Instead, they were all in a line (Roman, Virgil, Patton, Thomas, then Logan, left to right if you faced them, like some of the cameras Virgil had thought up did) with their backs to a black curtain. The room had gentle yellowish lights, all vaguely pointing toward the slightly raised wooden (and black, of course) stage in the centre of the floor. To their right, the entire wall was covered with sound technology that most of the Sides and Thomas were clueless regarding. Some of the things lit up in certain places, and all of those lights were purple. On the stage was a microphone, as well as a purple and black electric guitar leaning on an amp.

Patton gasped. "Ooh! This place is so cool, Virgil!"

Virgil gave a small sort-of laugh. "Thanks."

"Oh, your guitar! Are you going to play it while you sing?" Roman asked.

"Yea...."

"I didn't know you played the guitar, Virgil," Logan commented.

"Yea, you tend not to know things about people when you don't care about them," Virgil shot back. Logan scoffed.

"Okay, who wants to go first?"

"Ooh, ooh, me!" Patton exclaimed, jumping up and down. He ran up to the stage.

"Oh, um, Virge, can you— yea." As Patton spoke, Virgil fiddled with some stuff on the right (facing the stage) wall, and the instrumental for "I Am The Walrus" by The Beatles began to play.

Patton began to sing, "I am he as you are he as you are me, and we are all together."

See how they run like pigs from a gun

See how they fly

I'm crying

Sitting on a cornflake

Waiting for the van to come

Corporation T-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday

Man you've been a naughty boy

You let your face grow long

I am the egg man

They are the egg men

I am the walrus

Goo goo g'joob

Mr City policeman sitting

Pretty little policemen in a row

See how they fly like Lucy in the sky

See how they run

I'm crying

I'm crying, I'm crying, I'm crying

Yellow matter custard

Dripping from a dead dog's eye

Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess

Boy, you've been a naughty girl

You let your knickers down

I am the egg man

They are the egg men

I am the walrus

Goo goo g'joob

Sitting in an English garden

Waiting for the sun

If the sun don't come you get a tan

From standing in the English rain

I am the egg man

They are the egg men

I am the walrus

Goo goo g'joob, goo goo goo g'joob

Expert, texpert choking smokers

Don't you think the joker laughs at you (Ho ho ho, hee hee hee, hah hah hah)

See how they smile like pigs in a sty

See how they snide

I'm crying

Semolina Pilchard

Climbing up the Eiffel tower

Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna

Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allen Poe

I am the egg man

They are the egg men

I am the walrus

Goo goo g'joob, goo goo goo g'joob

Goo goo g'joob, goo goo goo g'joob, goo goo

Patton finished, smiling wide.

"Oh my God." Virgil was the first to speak. "That song is weird. I actually can't believe you just sang that, Patton."

"Uh, but that was really good Patton!" Roman said, actually sputtering a lot more than "uh" but Roman's stutters are not easy to write. He began to clap, and everyone else joined in. Patton skipped down the two steps on the stage and back to his spot in the line.

"Who's next?"

"I'll go," Virgil answered Thomas.
