Henceforth there shall be no auditions  
So noted The Bremen Musicians  
Our Muse shall be free  
Engage her with glee  
Performing without preconditions

But wait – said the jackass at last  
He was – quite frankly – aghast  
I must be the voice  
You leave me no choice  
I cannot perform with this cast

Woof, Woof, I agree, said the dog  
This won’t go with our catalog  
My bark and my bite  
Is not in this fight  
No Bremen for me, and no Prague

The cock crowed: I shall have my say!  
A sad and tumultuous day!  
I can’t be the one  
Who welcomes this sun!  
And therefore, I also can’t stay

No problem, the cat answered back  
I’ll have them repurpose the plaque  
While you’re in cahoots  
I shall get my boots  
My pussies will pick up the slack
