I was watching and listening to The Three Little Bops skit on The Looney Tunes and decided to put a little twist on it but with the five versions of the classic snowy haired Dante from the original Devil May Cry and came up with this. This is my very first songfic as I've never written any before so please go easy on me I only meant it for entertainment purposes. I don't own either Devil May Cry or Looney Tunes as they belong to Capcom and Warner Bros respectively. I'd be a very rich woman if I did. :P

The Five Little Dantes

{Narrator}
Remember the story
of the Five Little Dantes?
One played the pipe
While the other danced jigs

The Five Little Dantes
Are still around
But they're playing music
With a modern sound

(1st Music interlude)

{Narrator}
The Five Little Dantes
Were in the groove
Everything was
running smooth

The Dantes were due
For a big surprise
When Mundus appeared
With red rimmed eyes

{Mundus}
"Oh, you're cool!
Oh, you're cool!
Oh you're cool, man, cool!"

{Narrator}
Well, to show he was friendly
He shook their hand
Announced he was joining
Up with the band

Instead of starting
An argument
A one and a-two
And away they went!

(2nd Music interlude with Mundus playing off-key)

{Narrator}
The Five Little Dantes
Were really gassed
They never heard
Such a corny blast

{Dantes}
"We've played in the west!
We've played in the east!
We've heard the most!
But you're the least!"

(Mundus gets kicked out the place.)

{Narrator}
The Demon King Mundus
Was really mad
He wanted to play music
And he wanted to play bad

{Mundus}
"They stopped me before
I could go to town!
So I'll huff and puff
And blow the place down!"

(Mundus blows the house down.)

{Narrator}
The house of straw
Was blown away
The Dantes had to find
Another place to play

The Dew Drop Inn
A house of sticks
The Five Little Dantes
Were giving out licks

(3rd Music interlude)

{Narrator}
Well the piano playing Dante
Was swinging like a gate
Doing Liberace
on the eighty-eight

{DMC 1 Dante}
"I wish my brother Vergil was here."

{Narrator & Mundus}
The Five Little Dantes
Were having a ball
When the Demon King Mundus
He entered the hall

The Demon King Mundus
He sat right down
"Come on, cats!
We're going to town!"

(4th Music interlude with Mundus playing off-key again)

{Narrator & Crowd}
From the crowd
Came an angry shout
"Stop the music!
Throw the square out!"

(Mundus gets tossed out again.)

{Narrator & Mundus}
The Demon King Mundus
Was really sore
"If they're gonna get tough
I'll give em more!"

"They don't know talent
In this here town
So I'll huff and puff
And blow the place down!"

(Mundus blows the second house down.)

{Narrator & Dantes}
The Dew Drop Inn
Did drop down
The Five Little Dantes
Crawled out of the rubble
"This dumb demon
Gives us nothing but trouble!"

"So we won't be bothered
By his windy tricks
The next place we play
Must be made of bricks!"

(5th Music interlude)

{Narrator}
Sturdy place
This house of bricks
Built in
1776

High class place
With a high class crowd
Sign on the door
"No Munduses allowed!"

Ol' Mundus was sore
And fit to be tied
He was sworn and determined
To get inside

(Small but 6th music interlude)

{Narrator & Mundus}
He huffed and puffed
On the house of bricks
But the bricks were stronger
Than straw or sticks

He huffed and puffed
And bleeped and blooped
And by 10 o'clock
Was completely pooped

But all of a sudden
Came a ray of hope
"I can disguise myself!
Boy, what a dope!"

(7th Music interlude with Mundus playing a ukulele.)

{Narrator}
The Demon King Mundus
Took it all in stride
He figured out another way
To get inside

(8th Music interlude with Mundus using different disguises.)

{Mundus}
"I'll show those half-breeds
That I'm not stuck!
If I can't blow it down
I'll blow it up!"

(9th Music interlude with Mundus trying to blow up the house... Only for his plan to backfire on himself.)

{Narrator}
Well, the Demon King Mundus
Was really gone
And with him
Went that corny horn

Went outta this world
Without a trace
Didn't go to Heaven
Was the other place

(10th Music interlude with Mundus's spirit playing music beautifully.)

{Dantes}
"Well, the Demon King Mundus
He learned the rules!
You gotta get hot
To play real cool!"

(11th and Final music interlude and end of the song)
