Margo!!! YES! You are 100% Correct!!!
OF COURSE, it was "My Husband The Pig" (written as an introduction for "Every Day a Little Death") that was cut from the original 1973 production of A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC but was restored for the Royal National Theatre Production, and later sung in the Sondheim revue, PUTTING IT TOGETHER!
CONGRATULATIONS, Margo, and Welcome to the Trivial Pursuit Winner's Circle, for desite your vast knowledge, I believe this is the first time you've played Trivial Pursuit!

Margo--You DID It!!!
YES--Julie Andrews essayed the role of 'The Wife' in the London production of PUTTING IT TOGETHER--and then handed the part over to her good friend Carol Burnett for the Broadway run.
And your prize, Margo?
Well, you're at a QUITE upcale dinner party and you get to observe your husband flagrantly cheat with some young thing right in front of your very face!!!
You'll be hurt, embarrassed, and humuliated--but don't worry, you'll get to be INCREDIBLY witty about it! 
Enjoy the rest of your Thursday, folks! Thanks for playing!

"My Husband The Pig":
My husband the pig.
The swaggering bore
I'll do anything for
What a pig!
The air of disdain is appalling,
The level of decency nil
If he thinks that I'll always come crawling
Ha! I will
My husband the pig.
I worship the ground
That he kicks me around
Oh, the pig
I have no objection to passing inspection
But who can contend with an endless erection
That falls to its knees when it sees its reflection?
My husband...
Like a clot in the cream
Or a fly in the jam
Till I think that I am going to scream--
And I am!
But would anyone here give a damn?
