Before - Legends With Cat-Like Tread- when Gilbert & Sullivan and Star Wars collide- many thanks to the readers!

So, I like Gilbert & Sullivan operettas. A lot. Particularly, I'm a huge fan of the Pirates of Penzance. One of the best songs in the show is "with cat-like tread," where they 'sneak' into a house, all the while singing very loudly with lots of crashing flourishes. Kind of like 'sneaking' on to the Star Forge in Knights of the Old Republic, blowing lots of stuff up.

Thanks to voters for nominating/voting this humble piece Best Songfic and Best Poem!

With Cat-Like Tread, Upon Our Prey We Steal

Upon entering the Star Forge:
JEDI: (very loud)
With cat-like tread,
Upon our prey we steal;
In silence dread,
Our cautious way we feel.
No sound at all!
We never speak a word;
A fly's foot-fall
Would be distinctly heard--

SITH:
(softly) Tarantara, tarantara!

JEDI:
So stealthily the Jedi creeps,
While all the household soundly sleeps.

Come, friends, who travel space,
Truce to navigation;
Take another station;

Let's tear apart this place
And see the look on Malak's face!!

Come, friends, who travel space,
Truce to navigation;
Take another station;

Let's tear apart this place
And see the look on Malak's face!

CANDEROUS:
(distributing implements to various members of the gang)

Here's your saber and your gauntlets,
Your life-preserver -- you may end up hit!
Your stealth field beltage, your Force power seize,
Take your card and your universal keys.

SITH:
Tarantara!

JEDI:
With cat-like tread

SITH:
Tarantara!

JEDI:
In silence dread,

(Enter REVAN, JOLEE and CARTH)

ALL (fortissimo).

With cat-like tread,
Upon our prey we steal;
In silence dread,
Our cautious way we feel.
No sound at all!
We never speak a word;
A fly's foot-fall
Would be distinctly heard--

Come, friends, who travel space,

Truce to navigation;
Take another station;

Let's tear apart this place
And see the look on Malak's face!

With cat-like tread,
Upon our prey we steal;
In silence dread,
Our cautious way we feel.

Whee, G&S. Every Jedi needs a good operetta.

 

Oh, that was fantastic!

 

Bravo! Encore!

Um, could you do Tarantara next? Please?

Oh, now that's just scary!!! LOL! I love G&S.

Oh, dear... now you have to do the patter song... "I am the very model of a noble Jedi Master..."
