FB Comes Out Swinging
Forbidden Broadway comes out swinging
And we’ll be ringing the bell;
David will bring Goliath down
And every Broadway venture in town
Forbidden Broadway comes out swinging
Like Merman belting out, “Swell!”
But we’ve inserted new lyrics, perverted
To put producers through hell
Bang, boom, bash;
Duck and cover when we pull no punches and dash your hopes
Zap, zow, zing
Vultures hover when we lease a loaning and end the ropes
Forbidden Broadway comes out swinging
And we’ll be stinging each star
We’ll whip Idina and flip Patina
And dip “Aladdin” in tar
Pow, pang, punch
We’ll get “Kinky” and we’ll show off Hedwig for the man he is;
Zap, zoom, zow
We’ll rock “Rocky,” revisit “Once,” and rematch “Les Mis.”
Forbidden Broadway comes out swinging, and we’ll be flinging it here
Good theatre lovers, forget your grief;
‘Cause we’ll keep punching without relief
Broadway’s been broader slabs of beef
When Broadway’s looking punch-drunk
Its time to wham a slam dunk;
Forbidden Broadway comes out swinging this year!
