We Are Off On a Great Mission Lyrics


DIONYSOS:
Xanthias, it is time to start our journey. We are off on a great mission.

XANTHIAS:
Where?

DIONYSOS:
I, Dionysos, god of drama, am going to travel
to the Underworld and bring back a great writer who can speak
to the problems of our society and give us comfort, wit and wisdom.
And also challenge our complacencies.

XANTHIAS:
Who are you gonna bring back?

DIONYSOS:
Shaw.

XANTHIAS:
Oh... who?

DIONYSOS:
George -- Bernard -- Shaw.

XANTHIAS:
The one who wrote the plays?

DIONYSOS:
Yes, the one who wrote the plays. And what glorious plays!

XANTHIAS:
I can't think of any at the moment.

DIONYSOS:
I know them all.

XANTHIAS:
Did he write "The Rape of the Sabine Women"? I liked that -- it had a lot of pictures.

DIONYSOS:
No, he did not. It's time to stop flapping your lips and start moving your feet. Walk!
