So I finally saw "Gunslinger", and I'm supposed to believe that
Servo was moaning in *agony*.
Riiight.

words & music by Petrea Mitchell
D A D G
INTRO: If you've been trapped in outer space without a damn thing to do,
D A D
You may find that "bored" may well describe the state of mind of
A
your crew,
D A D G
But a little imagination can bring good spirits back again,
D A G A
If you happen to have a friend who doesn't mind a bit of pain...
D G D
We're inflating our buddy's cranium
G A
Just for whatever purpose it may serve, O!
D G D
I guess we have done things that were more dumb
G A D
Than pumping up the head of Tom Servo.
Now, though he says this game makes him unwell,
Our intention in this effort shall not swerve, O!
From the noises that he makes, it sounds just swell.
Pumping up the head of Tom Servo.
It's quite a heady feeling, I would bet.
Our energy for this we'll not conserve, O!
It's plain which way his high-end bit is set.
Pumping up the head of Tom Servo.
Now, stunts like this do our health plan no boon.
This rhyme we should undoubtedly preserve, O!
You see now now why our premiums have ballooned.
Pumping up the head of Tom Servo.
[begin spoken section]
ANNOUNCER: ...at midnight. Be with us next time for-- [sound of bicycle
pump, etc. in background] --hey! What are you doing in here?
ANNOUNCER #2: Stiiiiill growing! Nothing outlasts this awful gag.
It just keeps growing and growing and growing...
[end spoken section]
Yes, still it keeps a-growing, far and fast.
It's gotten more than large, I do observe, O!
Now even his own ego it's surpassed.
Pumping up the head of Tom Servo.
His bubble burst at last-- the Mads made sure--
I think that judgement here we should reserve, O!
But when our hearing's back, we'll try once more.
Pumping up the head of Tom Servo.
Pumping up the head of Tom Servo!

One repetition of "POP him, POP him, POP pop POP!" lines up nicely
with each line of the verses, so if you feel like chanting in the back-
ground, go ahead. Now for an attempt at describing the music.
