Karaoké Keep It Gay The Producers

Listen Roger did you get a chance

Yet to read springtime for Hitler?

Read it?

I devoured it, I for one

For instance never realized that the

Third Reich meant Germany

Yeah how 'bout that then you'll do it

Do it? of course not

The theatre's so obsessed with dramas so depressed

It's hard to sell a ticket on Broadway

Shows should be more pretty shows should be more witty

Shows should be more what's the word?

Gay?

Exactly

No matter what you do on the stage

Keep it light keep it bright keep it gay

Whether it's murder mayhem or rage

Don't complain it's a pain keep it gay

People want laughter when they see a show

The last thing they're after is a litany of woe

A happy ending

A happy ending will pep up your play will pep up your play

Oedipus won't bomb

If he winds up with mom keep it gay keep it gay keep it gay keep it gay

Couldn't agree with you more and you have

Our blessings Roger to make springtime for Hitler

Just as gay as anyone could possibly want

So come on do it for us please

No I'm sorry Max but it's simply not my cup of tea

But still fair is fair perhaps I should ask my

Production team what they think this is my set

Designer Bryan keep it glad keep it mad keep it gay

And here's my costume designer Kevin

Hello keep it happy keep it snappy keep it gay

We're clever creative

We're clever creative it's our job to see it's our job to see

That everything's perfect

That everything's perfect for mister De Bris for mister De Bris

Next Scott my choreographer

Hi there

And ah finally last and least

My lighting designer

Shirley Markowitz

Keep it gay keep it gay keep it gay

I don't think we're getting to them

What do we do now Max?

Watch this

Roger listen

I think that springtime for Hitler

Would be a marvelous opportunity for you

I mean up to now you've always been associated

With frivolous musicals

Oh

You're right

I've often felt as though

I've been throwing my life away

On silly entertainments dopey showgirls in

Gooey gowns two three kick turn turn turn kick turn

Oh Roger

Oh it's enough to make you heave

Nonetheless I'm sorry Max

I just couldn't do

Springtime for Hitler

Why not?

Think of the prestige

No no no no

Think of the respect

Think of the Tony

Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony

Tony Tony Tony

Ah

What's the matter?

Is he all right?

He's having a stroke

What? of genius

I see it I see it at last

The chance to do something important

Roger De Bris presents history

Of course that whole second act has to be rewritten

They're losing the war?

Excuse me it's too downbeat

Roger De Bris presents history

But maybe oh it's a wild idea but it just might work

I see a line of beautiful girls

Dressed as storm troopers each one a gem

With leather boots and whips on their hips

It's risque dare I say

S & M

Love it

I see German soldiers dancing through France

Played by chorus boys in very tight pants

And wait there's more they win the war

And the dances they do will be daring and new

Turn turn kick turn turn turn kick turn

One two three kick turn keep it sassy keep it classy

That is brilliant brilliant

Keep it ah ah ah ah

Roger I speak for

Mister Bloom and myself when I say that you are

The only man in the world who can do justice

To springtime for Hitler will you do it please please

Oh wait a minute this is a very big decision

It might affect the course of my entire life

I shall have to think about it

I'll do it I'll do it

Oh yeah

Sabu champagne ah

If at the end you

If at the end you want them to cheer want them to cheer

Keep it gay keep it gay

Keep it gay keep it gay keep it gay keep it gay

Whether it's Hamlet

Whether it's Hamlet

Othello or Lear

Othello or Lear

Keep it gay keep it gay

Keep it gay keep it gay keep it gay keep it gay

Comedy's joyous a constant delight

Dramas annoy us and ruin our night and ruin our night

So keep your Strindbergs

So keep your Strindbergs and Ibsens at bay and Ibsens at bay

I'll sign sign

Sign sign sign sign

Roger Elizabeth De Bris
