Awesome, thanks for the info. I had always wondered about that myself. I love that song. It's morbid, but it's hilarious.
I wish her revenge was on the cd, I remember seeing her lowering on the pole as the curtain came down.
I bought that book for $2.50 at a random store that sells basically everything!

Oh my God! That snake that sings!

Oh, I knew Negro Day would bring chaos and change
and now he's pushing this pinko who might give us all mange!
She's a blemish, a blackhead, that must be expelled
There's a standard of beauty that must be upheld
You can say I'm a bigot, but it just isn't true
Look I love Sammy Davis, and he's black and a Jew!
But you better get set, for a full-out assault
They should never have boiled Miss Baltimore Crabs!

I missed the funniest lines of the little song! Whoo, I'm cool.
it's 'you may say i'm a BIGOT but it just isn't true,
Look, I love Sammy Davis and he's black AND a JEW!'
Kevo- ME TOO! It was like $3 at ocean state job lot. I literally hyperventilated when I saw it.

The first time I listened to that song, I was like "HUH?! What the heck is that?" And then when I see the show, I expect them to sing it in the curtain call as some "parting words of wisdom." Instead they sing
"We promise, Baltimore
That someday when we take to the floor
The world will be full of romance
Come on, give it a chance
EVERYBODY, LET'S DANCE!!!
'Cause the world keeps spinning round and round"
etc. etc.
Good thing I bumped into Kerry Butler when I did, because she told me that they cut that song out during previews. Then I start to get the whole gist of how this business works. Thank you very much, Kerry Butler. You are my salvation.
