Livin' The Life of a Duelist -or- Miki Warns Utena About Touga

(Sung to Ricky Martin's "Livin' La Vida Loca")

By: Mr. Morden

Scene: The lunch area. Miki and Utena are talking.

Miki: Utena-san, I really think that you should drop out of the duels.

Utena: No way, Miki! It's not happening. Do you just want the Bride for yourself?

Miki: No! It's Touga. I don't think you know what you're up against.

Utena: What do you mean?

Miki: Well, it's something like this...


Instrumental intro. Miki starts dancing like Ricky Martin.


Miki: He's into dueling battles,

sharp steel, and fast footwork.

I feel a premonition,

That guy's a real jerk.


He's into crossing swords,

Fighting by candlelight.

He will fight you once.

For every day and night.


He'll fight you 'neath the desert sun,

Or on the grassy plain.

The politics of Duelist life

Will make you go insane.

Like a sword right through the brain!


Chorus

Upside, inside thrust.

Livin' the life of a Duelist.

He'll hack and chop you down,

Livin' the life of a Duelist.

His sword is razor-keen,

And he hatches a nasty scheme.

He will wear you out.

Livin' the life of a Duelist. (Come on!)

Livin' the life of a Duelist.

He's livin' the life of a Duelist.


Scene change: Utena's dorm.


Woke up in my dorm room,

With a sharp pain in my side.

He took my bride

And my confidence.

I just want to run and hide...


Is Touga my kind and tall prince

Or is he just a vile pain?

Since I saw the castle floating there,

I haven't been the same.

Like a sword's been through my brain!

Chorus

He took my "shining thing,"

And then he took my confidence.

And the cause for all this madness is

I didn't learn to fence!

Dios! But that was dense!


Upside, inside thrust.

Livin' the life of a Duelist.

He hacked and chopped me down.

Livin' the life of a Duelist.

His sword is razor-keen,

And he hatches a nasty scheme.

He has worn me down,

Livin' the life of a Duelist. (x4)
