The Malamute Saloon

Feb 18, 2016
Welcome everybody
To the Malamute Saloon.
We've been working on this show
Since early on in June.
It's something you aint seen before -
We're fairly sure of that.
There's food on all the tables, and
We hope you leave here fat.
Come on everybody,
We have good times planned ahead.
But if you throw your food at us
We'll send you home to bed.
So join the fun and sing along -
Just please don't boo or hiss.
And we'll keep entertaining you
With silly stuff like this.
We know you've cancelled other plans
To be with us tonight.
And so we'll do our very best
To try and treat you right.
We've got some pretty funny acts
Just lurking up ahead.
And songs we think will make you cry -
If you're into that instead.
(Reprise)
Welcome everybody to the Malamute Saloon.
The entertainment's started, and the food should be here soon.
So sit right back, and clap your hands,
And maybe stomp your feet.
We've got a program planned for you —
We think is really ... neat!
FINALE
The show is almost finished,
And we're really glad you came.
We're sorry that it's over,
And we hope you feel the same.
But if you'd like to hang around,
And join us for dessert,
You'll have a chance to mingle,
And maybe even flirt.
