Rhyme

It starts out different, but then it's the same!
Surprisingly Similar Way to Me (excerpt)

HE’D HAVE A PERFECT S.A.T. SCORE.
AND THEN HE WENT TO M.I.T., AND THEN HE, JOINED THE PEACE CORPSE.
HIS MIND HAS MANY VIEWPOINTS,
AND QUITE A FEW SUPERFLUOUS I.Q. POINTS
IN A SURPRISINGLY SIMILAR WAY TO ME.

   Surprisingly Similar Way to Me - clip (from What Is Kiss?) Lyrics by David Rackoff, Lyrics by Sahara Sunday Spain

Luckiest Girl in the Land (excerpt)

LOOK AT ME, BUYING HATS, WEARING FURS, DOING LIKE
A MILLIONAIRE DO.
HERE AM I, SIPPING SOUP MADE OF WINE, EATING
CHICKEN MADE OF DUCK.
AS I STARE AT THE SKY RUSHING BY, THINKING MOSTLY OF MY HAIRDO.
THEN I LOOK INTO THE MIRROR,
AND I POLISH AND I PLUCK,
AND MY CLOUDY THOUGHTS GET CLEARER,
AND I KNOW THAT I’M THE LUCK-IEST GIRL IN THE 
LAND!
   Luckiest Girl in the Land - clip (from The Rocking Horse Winner) Lyrics by David Rackoff, Lyrics by Sahara Sunday Spain

My Horsey for a Kingdom (excerpt)

THIS BONANZA
OF A STANZA
NOW IS IRKSOME,
TIME TO WORK SOME.
TIME THESE CONSCRIPTS
GOT BACK ON SCRIPTS.
GET THE KNIGHTHOOD
BACK TO FIGHT-HOOD.
IF MY LISTING

TONGUE IS TWISTING,
THAT'S THE CURSES
OF THESE VERSES.

IT'S THE FRICTION
IN MY DICTION,
IN BETWEENTH NOTES
ON SIXTEENTH NOTES.

SEE MY HORSEY
TOUR DE FORCE-Y
SONG IS WAXING,
STILL TOO TAXING.

CRIKEY BLIMEY!
IT'S TOO RHYME-Y!

NOT COMPLAINING,
BUT I'M WANING.

TIME TO SCATTER
ALL THIS PATTER,
SHUT MY YAP UP.
TIME TO WRAP UP!

GASP FOR AIR, FOR
FIN'LLY THEREFOR
MY GOODBYE NOTE
​IS A HIGH NOTE!!
   My Horsey for a Kingdom (from Wonderland Wars) Lyrics by David Rackoff, Music by Sahara Sunday Spain

Yell to the Heavens (excerpt)

MAY OUR HEAVY MACES
(HIE-DEE UMP.


HIE-DEE UMP!
)
LEAVE THEM BARELY ANY TRACES 
(HIE-DEE-UMP.

HIE-DEE UMP.
)
WHERE OUR ENEMIES HAD FACES
(HIE-DEE UMP.

​
HIE-DEE UMP

HIE-DEE YIE DEE YAY!
)
   Yell to the Heavens (from Wonderland Wars) Lyrics by David Rackoff, Lyrics by Sahara Sunday Spain
