Lyrics You Won't Succeed on Broadway

Have you heard of this
Broadway
Yes sire and we don't stand a chance there
Why not
Because
Broadway is a very special place
Filled with very special people
People who can sing and dance
Often at the same time
They are a different people
A multi-talented people
A people who need people
And who are in many ways the luckiest people in the world
I'm sorry sire we don't have a chance
But why
Well let me put it like this
In any great adventure if you don't want to lose
Victory depends upon the people that you choose
So listen Arthur darling closely to this news
We won't succeed on Broadway if we don't have any Jews
You may have the finest sets
Fill the stage with
Penthouse Pets
You may have the loveliest costumes and best shoes
You may dance and you may sing
But I am sorry Arthur king
You'll hear no cheers
Just lots and lots of boos
You may have butch men by the score
Whom the audience adore
You may even have some animals from zoos
Though you've Poles and Krauts instead
You may have unleavened bread
But I tell you you are dead if you don't have any Jews
They won't care if it's witty or everything looks pretty
They'll simply say it's shitty and refuse
Nobody will go sir
If it's not Kosher then no show sir
Even Goyim won't be dim enough to choose
Put on shows that make men stare with lots of girls in underwear
You may even have the finest of reviews
The audiences won't care sir as long as you don't dare sir to open up on Broadway if we don't have any Jews
You may have dramatic lighting or lots of horrid fighting
You may even have some white men sing the blues
Your knights may be nice boys but sadly we're all goys
And that noise that you call singing you must lose
So despite your pretty lights and naughty girls in nasty tights
And the most impressive scenery you use
You may have dancing man a mano
You may bring on a piano
But they will not give a damn-o if you don't have any Jews
Hey
Ho oy
Ho oy
You may fill your plays with gays
Have Nigerian girls in stays
You haven't got a clue
If you don't have a Jew all of your investments you are going to lose
There's a very small percentile who enjoys a dancing gentile
I'm sad to be the one with this bad news
But never mind your swordplay
You just won't succeed on Broadway
You just won't succeed on Broadway if you don't have any Jews
Arthur can you hear me
To get along on Broadway
To sing a song on Broadway
To hit the top on Broadway and not lose
I tell you Arthur king
There is one essential thing
There simply must be
Simply must be Jews
Hey
There simply must be
Arthur trust me
Simply must be Jews
