"Party Hat"- (Joe Iconis & Family at 54 Below)

MK Lawson- 7/16/12
Performed live at 54 Below
Musical theater writer Joe Iconis is proud to bring his unique
mash-up of showtune cabaret and rock and roll jamboree to
54 Below. Join Mr. Iconis and his merry band of musical
theater punks as they roar their way through a set of Joe's
incendiary songs. The huge cast of brilliant actor/singers,
lunatic musicians and legendary special guests will offer you
an evening where searing character studies meet drunken
back room sing-alongs. This is no mere concert. This is a
great, big, howling love-letter to passionate musical theater at
its best and bloodiest. Grease up your kazoo, fill your
whiskey glass and stay for a while. It's going to be a helluva
night.

here in my railroad apartment
tonight we're just taking it slow
i threw out my tickets to the opera
'cause nobody wanted to go
i thought i'd just sit here contently
maybe a crossword, or four
but i find myself not feeling satisfied
i find myself wanting much more
so instead of feeling blue
i know just what i'll do
i'm gonna put a party hat on my cat
we'll dance around and play pretend
i'm gonna wear a golden dress, make such a mess
and never let the good times end
neighbors can peek through their winders
looking all kinds of confused
but me and my feline won't care at all
‘Cause we aren’t easily bruised
we'll be laughing and doing the lindy
and i’ll be the bell of all things
and we’ll make a racket with no regards
so we won't hear the phone even if it rings
i'm gonna put a party hat on my cat
we'll dance around and play pretend
i'm gonna wear a golden dress, make such a mess
and never let the good times end
im gonna squirt the french perfume around the room
and revel in its lovely mist
im gonna put a party hat on my cat
and thank my lucky stars that he exists
CAT:
i had just finished eatin’ some friskies
she comes at me holdin’ this hat
i'm all like lady you back the hell up
i don't want no part of that
then i take a look into her big eyes
they're sad and a little bit red
and i think of the times when she’s fed me food
and i think of the times when she’s pet my paws
and i think of the times when she’s seen my claws
i sigh and jump up on the bed
and dutifully lower my head
GIRL:
look i put a party hat on my cat
we'll dance around and play pretend
i'm gonna wear a golden dress, make such a mess
and never let the good times end
im gonna spray the
BOTH:
french perfume around the room
GIRL:
and revel in its lovely mist
im gonna put a
BOTH:
party hat on
GIRL:
my cat
CAT:
me
GIRL:
and thank my lucky stars that he exists
