What a wonder is a gun!
What a versatile invention!
First of all, when you've a gun-
Everybody pays attention.
When you think what must be done,
Think of all that it can do:
Remove a scoundrel,
Unite a party,
Preserve the Union,
Promote the sales of my book,
Insure my future,
My niche in history,
And then the world will see
That I am not a man to overlook!
Ha-ha!
And all you have to do
Is squeeze your little finger.
Ease your little finger back-
You can change the world.
Whatever else is true,
You trust your little finger.
Just a single little finger
Can change the world.

Ok almost time for me to go so....
Show: Assassins
Song: the Gun Song
Stephen Sondheim; show was to be put on in NYC but as they were putting it together 9-11 came down, and no one felt quite right about opening the show. It is rather dark, and features famous assassins as the main characters.
