The Tick Of The City

Original Song Title: "The Man Of Lamancha"
Original Performer: Joe Darion

Parody Song Title: "The Tick Of The City"
Parody Written by: Kim West

It only seemed natural to me that I do a parody of "The Tick" with the song "Man Of Lamancha." The Tick is very much like Don Quixote in that he rushes forth to try to right all the wrongs in the world he encounters.

I shall impersonate The Tick,
Come, use that thing you call imagination, and see him:
Blue, muscle bound, eyes that tell you there is nobody home.
A true superhero with the mind of a small pea.
Still his mission is clear.
He bounds forth into the city, righting all wrongs!
His name? The mighty blue Tick!

Hear me now
I have something important to say!
Yo! Crimes a foot and I must crush it!
I fight for truth and I'm here to stay!
Woe! Way too many words! No please I must stop it!
Now hurls down my trumpet today!

I am I, The Mighty Tick,
Superhero extreme!
Destiny calls and I say SPOON!
And wild adventure waits!
Winds carry me onward.
Oh, I hope I find some crime soon!
I hope I find some crime soon!
Onward chum to Glory! SPOON!!!!

I Arthur, uh, I'm Arthur
I am the Tick's trustworthy sidekick
In my moth suit I'm dumpy
I'm scared. Please help me TICK!

Hear me scoundrels and villains!
Your deeds are sin!
For the swift hand of justice is fast!
And my war upon you is now to begin
And goodness will beat you at last!

I am I, The Mighty Tick,
Superhero extreme!
Destiny calls and I say SPOON!
And wild adventure waits!
Winds carry me onward.
Oh, I hope I find some crime soon!
I hope I find some crime soon!
Onward chum to Glory! SPOON!!!!
The mighty blue Tick constantly rushes forth to do battle which is at the very core of the main character Don Quixote in the musical "Man Of Lamancha." If you have never seen the musical then please at least hear the song that my twisted sense of humor has chosen as the basis for my parody.
