Working for Magneto ~ by Nicole

 

Author’s Note: watched the nightmare before Christmas and thought the Acolytes could be Lock, Shock, and Barrel.

  Working for Magneto

                                       (Tune to ‘Kidnap the Sandy Claws’)

 

GAMBIT, PYRO & COLOSSUS:

Working for Magneto

 

PYRO:

Makes me wanna hurl

 

COLOSSUS:

Mags forces us to work together

Three of a kind

 

GAMBIT, PYRO, & COLOSSUS:

Birds of a feather*

Now and forever*

Wheeee

La la la la la la

La la la la la

 

Working for Magneto,

Slaving along the night

Throwing caution to the wind

But fighting isn’t right

 

GAMBIT:

Didn’t know what I was getting into

Makes Gambit wanna stop and sue

Remy will call on his Cajun roots

Straw dolls, thieving, and voodoo

 

PYRO:

I do not have much control

My flames can’t stop; I’m on a roll!

When Maggie offered me a job

I work hard as to not be a slob

 

GAMBIT, PYRO & COLOSSUS:

Working for Magneto

Can really blow

Never get any girls since

They’re Xavier’s chicks

 

COLOSSUS:

Moving boxes, that’s what I like

But nothing makes me happy now

Even when Kitty looks at me

It makes me wanna flee

 

GAMBIT, PYRO & COLOSSUS:

Fleeee!

 

GAMBIT:

It doesn’t help that there’s a girl

That would like to see Remy dead

She’s pretty even if she frowns

But her skin can plow you down!

 

PYRO:

Why are you complaining?

Shelias love you because you’re the Mac!

I end up scaring girls

No one loves a pyromaniac!

 

GAMBIT, PYRO & COLOSSUS:

Working for Magneto

Isn’t really fun

Though we be the villains

We’re stuck with awful puns

 

COLOSSUS & PYRO:

We hate Magneto with a terrible passion

He’s a psychotic bastard with horrible fashion

 

GAMBIT:

He wanted to throw me to the bench

So he took away my French

 

GAMBIT, PYRO & COLOSSUS:

He has a way of making us pay

For our lip, he could rue our say

 

We’re his little henchmen*

We lie, steal, cheat, and hide

We do our best to please him*

And stay on his good side*

 

PYRO:

I wish my cohorts weren’t so dumb*

 

COLOSSUS:

I’m not the dumb one*

 

GAMBIT:

You’re no fun*

 

PYRO:

Shut up!*

 

GAMBIT:

Make me!*

 

PYRO:

Yeah, I work for Magneto

It’s a way to use my fire

I don’t care what I have to do

Burning things passes the time

But so is watching Maggie die

 

GAMBIT, PYRO, & COLOSSUS:

 

We wish we could have been there

When Poccy blew him sky-high

Maybe that will teach him

Playing nice applies

 

Working for Magneto

Really makes us tick

He’s a crazy mo-fo

And a major dick

 

Working for Magneto

Does have its kicks

We run the show; our coolness makes everyone sick

Working for Magneto

Wishing we were free

Now that he is gone, we’ll join Xavier for a fee
