| Original Song Title: | "If I Were A Rich Man" |
| Original Performer: | Zero Mostel |
| Parody Song Title: | "If I Were The Riddler" |
| Parody Written by: | Timothy M. Patishnock |
From the hit musical "Riddler On the Roof" that's sweeping Gotham City by storm!Legend: ("_"= slowing down breathing/ tempo "-"= to speed up breathing/ tempo)*The above are used for rythems because I don't know how to read sheet music...If you don't understand the rhythms at first, sing the tune of the original song in your head... *
Questions! Questions! Questions!
I'm sick of all the questions...But, I realize that there's a need to ask them in life...
So...Would it be so-terrible, if we could just forget the questions for a moment, and allow me to tell you of my goals from my dreams?
