Evil Woman Lyrics by Jeff Lynne

Xanadu (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

0

Melpomene: Apparently, there is no success nor joy for you nor I
And now, Clio is to be granted Xanadu!
Would that I were a god, I would smite her
Calliope: Ooo, sister, sister! You are such a . .
Melpomene:
Evil woman
Calliope:
(Guitar noise)
Melpomene:
Evil woman
Calliope:

Melpomene:
Evil woman
Calliope:
(Guitar)
Melpomene:
Evil woman
Rolled in from another town
Hit some gold, too hot to settle down
But a fool and his money soon go separate ways
And you found a fool lyin' in a daze
Both:
Ha, ha
Melpomene:
Woman
What you gonna do
You destroyed all the virtues that the Lord gave you
It's so good that you're feelin' pain
But you better get your face on board the very next train
Both:
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Evil woman, evil woman
Melpomene:
Evil woman, hey
Calliope:
You’re an evil woman
Melpomene:
Evil woman
I know what lets do!
Calliope: What lets?
Melpomene: What lets use our muse powers and place a curse upon our sister
That she falls in love with this mortal!
Both:
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Calliope: What a glorious prank. We shall do the curse, she shall be in love!
And by Zeus’ decree . . . Be put to death!
Both:
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Melpomene: Oh, come my daughter Sirens
Come join your mother and aunt in mean-spirited melody!
Sirens:
You’re an evil woman
Calliope:
Evil woman how you done me wrong
But now you're trying to wail a different song
Both:
Ha, ha
Calliope:
Ah, funny how you broke me up
You made the wine now you drink a cup
I came a-runnin' every time you cried
I thought I saw love smilin' in your eyes
Ha, ha very nice to know
That you ain't got no place left to go
All:
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Sirens:
Evil woman
Melpomene:
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Sirens:
Evil woman
Calliope:
Not a nice lady!
Sirens:
Evil woman
Melpomene:
Hey, hey, hey
Sirens:
Evil woman
All:
Evil Woman
