GUARD:<br>

Mail call! Here ya go, Bialystock, ya got a postcard. <br>

MAX:<br>

A postcard? From where? <br>

GUARD:<br>

Brazil. <br>

MAX:<br>

Brazil? Who do I know in Brazil?<br>

Dear Max,<br>

Rio is everything you said it was and more. Ulla and I think of you<br>

every chance we get. In the morning, when we have breakfast on our terrace,<br>

many different herrings. And in the evening, when we samba together in the moonlight.<br>

Sorry, must run. Ulla's waiting, it's almost eleven. <br>

Wish you were here, Leo <br>

Just like Cain and Abel<br>

You pulled a sneak attack<br>

I thought that we were brothers<br>

Then you stabbed me in the back<br>

Betrayed!<br>

Oh boy, I'm so betrayed! <br>

Like Samson and Delilah<br>

Your love began to fade<br>

I'm crying in the hoosegow<br>

You're in Rio getting laid!<br>

Betrayed!<br>

Let's face it, I'm betrayed! <br>

Boy, have I been taken<br>

Oy, I'm so forsaken<br>

I should have seen what came to pass<br>

I should have known to watch my ass! <br>

I feel like Othello<br>

Everything is lost<br>

Leo is Iago<br>

Max is double-crossed!<br>

I'm so dismayed<br>

Did I mention I'm betrayed? <br>

I used to be the king<br>

But now I am the fool<br>

A captain without a ship<br>

A rabbi without a shul! <br>

Now I'm about to go to jail<br>

There's no one who will pay my bail<br>

I have no one who I can cry to<br>

No one I can say goodbye to <br>

I'm drowning! I'm drowning here! I'm going down for the last time.<br>

I-I-I see my whole life flashing before my eyes. I see a weathered old<br>

farmhouse with a white picket fence. I'm running through fields of<br>

alfalfa with my collie, Rex. Stop it, Rex! I see my mother standing<br>

on the back porch, in a worn but clean gingham gown, and I hear her<br>

calling out to me, "Alvin! Don't forget your chores. The wood needs<br>

a-cordin and the cows need a-milkin'. Alvin, Alvin..." Wait a minute!<br>

My name's not Alvin! That's not my life. I'm not a hillbilly.<br>

I grew up in the Bronx. Leo's taken everything. Even my past! <br>

My past's a dying ember<br>

But wait...now I remember <br>

How did it begin?<br>

He walked into my office<br>

With his cockamamie scheme<br>

You can make more money<br>

With a flop than with a hit<br>

"We can do it, we can do it"<br>

"I can't do it"<br>

"We can do it!"<br>

"I can't do it!" Goodbye Max!<br>

Lord, I want that money!<br>

I'm back, Max!<br>

"Come on, Leo, we can do it!" <br>

Step one, find the play!<br>

See it, swirl it, touch it, kiss it!<br>

Hello, Mister Liebkind<br>

"Guten Tag, hop clop<br>

"Guten Tag, hop clop"<br>

Adolf Elizabeth Hitler? <br>

"Guten Tag, hop clop<br>

"Guten Tag, hop clop!" <br>

Step two, hire the director<br>

"Keep it gay, keep it gay, keep it..."<br>

Two-three, kick, turn, turn, turn, kick, turn <br>

Ulla!<br>

Oooh wah wah woo-woo- wah-wah <br>

Step three, raise the money<br>

"Along came Bialy!"<br>

Intermission!<br>

Step four, hire all the actors<br>

"A wandering minstrel I,<br>

A think of shreds and...<br>

Next! The little wooden boy<br>

Next! That's our Hitler! <br>

"Opening night!"<br>

Good luck, good luck, good luck<br>

Break a leg! I broke my leg! <br>

"Springtime for Hitler and Germany!"<br>

A surprise smash!<br>

"Springtime for Hitler and Germany!<br>

It'll run for years! <br>

"Where did we go right?<br>

Where did we go right?"<br>

Gimme those books<br>

Fat, fat, fatty!<br>

Gimme those books<br>

Books, fat<br>

Books, fat<br>

Books, fat<br>

Books, fat! <br>

Lousy fruit<br>

Kill the actors<br>

You ever eat with one?! <br>

Then you ran to Rio<br>

And you're safely out of reach<br>

I'm behind these bars<br>

You're banging Ulla on the beach! <br>

Just like Julius Caesar<br>

Was betrayed by Brutus<br>

Who'd think an accountant<br>

Would turn out to be my Judas!<br>

I'm so dismayed<br>

Is this how I'm repaid?<br>

To be...<br>

Betrayed!<br>

BETRAYED!! <br>

<br>
