Your rating:
hey hey old man it's time for you to shut up! who the hell are you? Honey, don't you know what time it is? Check your watch, take your bow and get the hell out. Hit it! Now the show's wrapping up You know what that means No matter the plot the sets or the scenes it's a broadway tradition if the show needs some bling for someone like me to come out and sing (take it home kid) Yeeeeeeaaaaahhhhhh ha cha cha cha cha Yes I have just one question that i'll ask if I may why the hell did they name it the great white way cause if you want a hit learn what Sondheim doesn't know and let a big black lady stop the show next the audience will stand nobody ever dares walk out when a big bold mama starts to wail and shout if your something something and your ticket sales are slow let a big black lady stop the show (Conversation) you know the show is almost over seems your star has up and died he sure sounds like a ... so white folks step aside and you break out the organ (more on its way...) [Thanks to Alyssa! for lyrics] Here are the complete lyrics best as I could understand them from the CD. Still missing a couple lines at the Julie Andrews part. If anyone knows what those are, please feel free to correct. --John Now the show's wrapping up And you know what that means, No matter the plots, The sets or the scenes, It's a Broadway tradition If your show needs some bling For someone like me To come out and sing. (take it home kid) Yes, I have just one question Which I'll ask if I may Why the hell did they name it The "Great White Way?" Cause if you want a hit Learn what Sondheim doesn't know And let a Big Black Lady stop the show. Yes the audience will stand Nobody ever dares walk out When a big old mamma starts to wail and shout If your plots running thin And your ticket sales are slow Let a Big Black Lady stop the show. "Can I sing something from Toska?" No it has to have some grit "Can I dance a dream ballet?" Oh please don't bore us with that shit. You know the show is almost over Seems your star has up and died It sure sounds like a queue to me, So white folks step aside. And just break out the organ Go and grab your tambourine, Marty Short go have a coffee And I'll go get Ben Verene. All I ever gets to plays Are goddamn maids or tacky hos But at least I get to stop the show Now if old Julie Andrews had a black maid in that play Well then, My Fair Lady would be still running today There won't be one seat left You'll be strictly SRO If a big black lady stops the show Now will somebody please explain Why whether gospel or some blues These songs are always written By some old fart white gay Jews That's because they love that music And the way their profits grow When a Big Black Lady stops the show "Well, can I sing some folk?" You're better off with R&B "Well, can we clap along?" Alright, but not on 1 and 3. If you need some body humor Or a dose of righteous rage Lose that pale face Sutton Foster And put me center stage So short here's the deal, If you promise not to lie and just be yourself We'll sing you back If not, then to hell with you What's it going to be? I'll take that as a yes. And I'll tell you all You've got the power You've got the power To bring Marty Back Yes, bring him back Just Clap your hands Clap your hands "I'm alive I'm aglow" Can we share one last riff before I go? (sing-off, Marty quacks like a duck and is shot) Yes, a Big Black Lady stops the show Oh oh oh Yes, a Big Black Lady stops the show Wooh wooh wooh wooh Yes a Big Black Lady stops the show… Thanks to Cars for correcting these lyrics Thanks to josie for correcting these lyrics
