Hat in a Box by Catherine Warr, parodying Wig in a Box from the musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch. The Magical History Tour is a show I've developed which combines history, music, costumes and comedy into a fun and entertaining musical show. Lyrics: On nights like this When the world's a bit amiss And the lights go down Across the council estate I get down, I feel had Feel on the verge of going mad And then it's time to get to work I put on an outfit Write out a new script And put a hat down on my head Suddenly I'm Miss Johnson Yorkshire's Flying Queen Until I wake up And I turn back to myself I look back at where I'm from Look at the woman I've become And the strangest things seem Suddenly routine I've got chance to do what I want With all of these hats now in a box Where they'll follow me to my dreams I put on an outfit Write out a new script And put a hat down on my head Suddenly I'm a cowboy in the wild west Until I wake up And I turn back to myself Who knew that this is what I would do But then again it's what I'd choose If I could turn the clock back With my time machine I think that I was meant to be Dressing up like Richard III Or starring on TV I put on an outfit Write out a new script And put a hat down on my head Suddenly I'm whoever I want to be Until next time Cos it's time to end the show.

Lyrics: Letitia Sage goes in a balloon Helen Sharman gets close to the moon They're some of the names Of girls who loved to fly Lilian Bland built her own plane Mary Heath and Bailey wrestle for fame They're part of the scene Of girls who loved to fly You're waiting by the aircraft hanger on a summer's day As the Gypsy Moth takes flight Going to Australia, there's a record to break If you manage to get it right Veronica goes if a jet is on it Diana takes it supersonic Whilst Edith Cook Is learning how to fly Beryl goes from East to West As she flies across the sea Grace is going round the world on a Zeppelin And she writes some words for you to read Two hundred years of aviation From hot air balloons to exploration They're some of the names Of girls who loved to fly

Ozymandias by Percy Shelley, adapted and performed by Catherine Warr (sampling Old Time's Sake by Eminem) The Magical History Tour is a show I've developed which combines history, music, costumes and comedy into a fun and entertaining musical show. Lyrics: I met a traveller from an antique land who said Two vast and trunkless legs of stone stand In the distance, near them, on the sand A wrinkled lip and stare of cold command Tell that it's sculpture well those passions read The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed And on the pedastal these words appear MY NAME IS OZYMANDIAS, KING OF KINGS LOOK ON MY WORKS, YE MIGHTY, AND DESPAIR! Nothing beside remains.

Lyrics: Ah breaker 1-9, this is Jammy Dodger, you got a copy on me Teabag? Aw yeah, 10-4 Jammy Dodger, by golly there's a guy down there with a big hat, spurs, and a poncho...mercy's sake alive, looks like we got us a cowboy! Now this is the story of the wild wild west But not as you've heard before It's the story of the west on the silver screen Way back in the days of yore From silent films and talkies To John Wayne and Clint Eastwood This is the story of the cowboy film The ugly, bad and good Cos we got a mighty cowboy Riding through the plain Yeah we got a mighty cowboy Never to be seen again Come and see our cowboy He's all-American good We'll take this riding cowboy Off to Hollywood We start our tale with Buffalo Bill And his famous wild west show He toured the world with his band of men From London to Glasgow And though the way he showed the natives Was not kind or fair The people loved his fighting men And his gorgeous long brown hair The world's first moving picture film In Leeds Le Prince did take Everybody soon wanted in And movies they did make One day in Blackburn, Lancashire In 1899 The world's first western film was made And boy did it change time Chorus Hey Teabag, you seen the size of that weapon? He can do some mighty damage with that Big Iron on his hip... For years the silent film did rule And then there came on sound And Hollywood just loved the west Till it ran it to the ground And then in 1939 came the film Stagecoach John Wayne became a household name And glory days approached Throughout the forties and fifties The western it did rule Both TV sets and silver screens Were home to fights and duels America told its' story through this wholesome old time tone But just around the corner came one Sergio Leone, YEE-HAW! Chorus In the 60s Europe changed the game With spaghetti films galore Clint Eastwood became a household name And the people wanted more And though the genre began to wane It's always managed to Adapt itself to changing times As films for me and you, 10-4 Chorus Hey Teabag, how bout we go watch some Breaking Bad? Yeah, 10-4 Jammy Dodger, but I was thinking we grab us a Coen brothers movie...

Mayflower by Catherine Warr, parodying Bob Dylan's 115th Dream by Bob Dylan. The Magical History Tour is a show I've developed which combines history, music, costumes and comedy into a fun and entertaining musical show. Lyrics: I was sailing on the Mayflower when I thought I spied some land We'd sailed across the ocean to found a New England Puritans were we and we didn't like the Pope Nor the Church of England, we thought it was a joke From Plymouth we set sail to that mysterious New World We were pilgrims on the Mayflower, our hopes and dreams unfurled The year was 1620, we were nervous I'll admit Heard tales of other colonies which failed just a bit At Roanoke they disappeared, on a tree a clue was carved They tried again at Jamestown but people there all starved This time though we'd make it, cos God was on our side We had destiny before us, our zeal was our pride Ten weeks of heavy sailing and we made it to the coast New England, Massachusetts, at Cape Cod we made a toast We signed ourselves a contract to make sure we all behaved We called our new home Plymouth, said some prayers and dug a grave But natives were still living there, who knew what to expect? Would we trade or would we slaughter? Is this the help we'd get? We made it through the winter, it was tough our numbers few Had help from Wampanoags and Massasoit too We had ourselves a feast to give thanks to the Lord A meal of corn and turkeys, we were all of one accord Bradford was our governor, our history he wrote We were pilgrims on the Mayflower, that plucky sailing boat

Richard III by Catherine Warr, parodying Hurricane by Bob Dylan. The Magical History Tour is a show I've developed which combines history, music, costumes and comedy into a fun and entertaining musical show. Lyrics: When it comes to history I've been hard done by Tudor propaganda and some thespian lies And now I'm here to set the story straight I'm not perfect, but unfair to hate Here comes the story of that evil king Most hated man in English history For something everybody done I was flawed but one time I could have been Champion of the world My father, brother and uncle died when I was eight Forced to flee the country, my life wasn't great My son and wife died a year apart I spent my life with a broken heart As warden of the North I kept the peace Protected people, brought prosperity I was loyal to the king Fought by his side and became his closest man But that was my undoing I served the king well and he trusted me As Lord Protector of his sons, you see But when the king died unexpectedly My life turned round in 1483 I wrestled power from the twelve year old king Took them to the Tower for their own safe keeping But knows if it was me Who killed those kids, I guess it's one of those big Unsolved mysteries They call me a tyrant but it was me Who protected the ordinary peasantry Brought in laws which are still used today Cared for my people, both the rich and lay But when I fought the battle at Bosworth Field I was brave and refused to yield All my friends abandoned me Turned their backs as I was surrounded and cut down
