A/N: This song is, of course, based upon the song "Red and Black" from Les Mis�rables. This parody, however, is different. It is based on The Call of the Wild. That's right. It's long so I'm gonna shut up now.
Pike: At Spitzbergen the sled dogs are prepared.
At Rink Rapids they're straining at their trace.
Teek: Mongrels, pure-bloods, everyone,
Something has got to be done.
([Enter Sol-leks.])
Like the river, o so grand,
Gold pouring throughout the land.
Sol-leks: The time is near.
So near, it's stirring the wolf within us,
And yet beware.
Don't let the wolf give into fuss!
For the ones we hate most are the worst we could fight
With their horrible whips and their guns all in steel.
O, it's simple enough to pretend they're not there,
But we shall have no clue when will come the next meal.
We need a sign
To rally the sled dogs,
To call to the wild,
To get out of line!
([Enter Buck.])
Buck, you are late.
Pike: What happened now? You look as if you've seen a wolf.
Joe: Come here and say what's going on!
Buck: Wolf, you say�a wolf may be.
It looked just like a wolf to me.
One minute there, then it was gone!
Joe: I am in awe,
Heartbeat a-drum.
To Buck here has our future come?
I've never had a stronger wish
Than to hear a wild beast's roar
To see the beast I was before.
It's better than a piece�of fish! [Slight chuckle from other dogs.]
Sol-leks: It is time for us all
To decide what we are.
Do we fight for the chance
To a better ration of fish now? [Glares at Joe.]
Have you asked of yourselves
What it might come to be?
Is this merely a plan
To set some "dumb dog" free?
The world we know and love
Has changed with you and me�
Club-a power all too strong!
Fang-a power full of hate!
Club- the one that scars us all!
Fang-the one that seals our fate!
Buck: Had you been there today
You might know how it feels
To be seen by a beast
To whom no one must devote a plight!
Had you been there today
You might also had known
How your world could be changed
In just one furry sight!
So what was right seems wrong
And what was wrong seems right!
Joe: Club!
Buck: A burden I shan't bear!
Joe: Fang!
Buck: My world, so blessed and free!
All but Buck: Club!
Buck: It never shall be seen!
All but Buck: Fang!
Buck: This world shall come to me!
Sol-leks: Buck, you're no longer a pup.
I do not doubt your joyous dream,
But it takes strength to see it done.
I know that we will see it through
Though we have no more strength than you,
I know that we will see this won!
All: Club-a power all too strong!
Fang-a power full of hate!
Club-the one that scars us all!
Fang-the one that seals our fate!
A/N: In the song "Red and Black," there is more that follows this. It's just more complicated. Unless I decide to go back and do the last bit, I'll leave that off, leaving the 5 minute; 52 second song to a mere 4 minutes; 16 seconds.
