The Lyrics
Well, if I ever try my hand at producing plays--with TT's 'backing'--it might go something like this:
Presenting THE PRODEWECERS!
~
Should the Post and Times
Rant “Each number stank!”
Op’ning night of my ‘Shaming of The ShrEwes'
No I won’t -- throw a fit
O’re “This mu-sical’s $hit!”:
For so long -- I’ve been panned,
Panned widely
So HARSHly, ARCHly panned -- wide-ly
D’Oh, slammed -- snidely
So damned -- Damned snidely,
Panned widely
No I don’t read reviews:
“‘ShrEwes’ em-ptied the pews!”
Nor “Abhorrent with a mordant melody!”
I don’t blame -- Diva shrEwes
Tommy T -- or the Jews
All along -- I’ve been panned,
Panned widely
But DAR-lin’ ‘KU Klux Cannes’, SHALL be
French hit -- zshu’ll see!
Not panned, no! -- Fan’d grandly,
Cannes’d grandly!
DAR-lin’, NEXT play’s ‘One Hand Me’
Lead man’s -- Pee Wee!
Show hands now -- ‘One Hand Me’ --
Fan’d glandly!
Whenever I’m in trouble I’ve just planned sly-ly
So han-di-ly
Thee’hat-tricks -- pay grand-ly,
Can’t stand me?!

TJC - Congratulations. You now own 110% of the profits from "The Prod-ewe-cers". Next! (Do I get the Gene Wilder/Matthew Broderick role?). I'll back it...with favorable reviews. Nice job. ;D
RevEWES are coming in, and they're baaaaaaad....(they play of course. The parody was gets 555 stars!)
Bloom-ing with laughs... (LOL@ "Ku Klux Cannes" and Pee Wee Herman jab) No flash in the "pan", you! :)
This one didn't "lay an egg!"
Here's hoping the critics don't give this act a ewe-logy...
Sure to bust Springtime for Hitlerian thanks out to OMR (Heh! Clever--you deserve both as you just can't Hyde that kind of talent!), Mark Scotti (tewe funny!), FG (Thank you--'flash in wrying pan' trewely inspired!), and Stand-ing Ov(ul)ation (highly creative--and beats supine amenorrhea every time!)
