Hacking Cough for the Holidays: Disney 2001
‘Twas the day before Disney and in the chorus room walls
All the students were tired and ready to fall.
A bag of cough drops rest in my pocket with care
Knowing that my own throat soon up would flair
One student was resting all snug in her bed
While visions of Epcot danced in her head
I in my slippers with Dayquil in hand
Knowing for the next few hours I had to stand
Then from J-O1 there arose such a clatter
We sprang from our seats to see what was the matter
Away to the bus we flew like flashes
Grabbing cough drops from all our stashes
“I don’t care where we sit!” while my shoes untying
“Just tell me when we’re home-by then I’ll be dying!”
Then what do my throbbing eardrums should hear
Off key notes to RENT and Sweeney Todd-Oh dear!
Their faces were shining as I joined in
(I figured if I would die that night, what's one more sin?)
A man boarded the bus when we finally arrived
I was so amazed-I was still alive!
They ushered us backstage to the food tent
Despite memories from last year, on we went.
And then in a moment we heard from above
“Rehearsal in four hours! Rest yourselves, love!”
As I drew in my breath and was turning around
I heard the most horrifying sound
The girl beside me had begun to hack
I don’t want to spend another week in the sack!
We found some relief with a bit of fresh air
I smiled and nodded without a care.
Then finally we knew it was time
Wishing that cold had never been mine.
“All to the rehearsal tent-Spruce Creek that’s you!
You want to come back next year, don’t you?”
While the pianist began playing the very first note
I paused for a moment to relieve my throat
More rapid then eagles to be robed we flew
Hearing more then one very loud ACHOO!
Tired we were but had to finish the game
As our conductor called us out by our section name
“Here Sopranos! Now Altos! Now Tenors and Basses!
I want to see smiles on all of your faces!”
And so off we went singing a carol or two
Ignoring the fact my nose was filled with goo.
When the show was over I grabbed someone’s waist
Splashing down Niquil with water, relieving the taste
The conductor said “one more” and smiled at the pianist
I left knowing why sopranos think them all sadists.
Hot chocolate in one hand and his in another
I hoped I was too sick to scream for my mother
When I was warm and cozy with him at my side
I closed my eyes with a satisfying sigh.
I wanted to call as I fell on his chest
“A Merry Holiday to all- and all on Vocal Rest!”
