"Join us...leave your cheese to sour."

I LOVE rent, but I think it has a few lame lines, such as:
"It's what we used to dream about, think twice before you poo-poo it."
"It's what we used to dream about, think twice before you poo-poo it."

shbrtalley44, the one from Pippin was my first choice lol...it really is a bad lyric
And the other thing about the Phantom Lady was, Bert, she realized, in the city that never sleeps...
What did she realize, Kitten?
That all the songs she'd listened to, all the love songs, that they were only songs.
What's wrong with that?
Nothing, if you don't believe in them. But she did, you see. She believed in enchanted evenings, and she believed that a small cloud passed overhead and cried down on a flower bed, and she even believed there was breakfast to be had...
Where?
On Pluto. The mysterious, icy wastes of Pluto.

like said earlier- i am not a fan of the poo poo line.
"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell

"There are bridges you crossed you didn't know you crossed until you crossed." That has got to be the worst Braodway lyric I have ever heard.

"An old lady is waltzing in her flat, waltzing with her cat", from DO I HEAR A WALTZ?, lyric by Stephen Sondheim
I groaned in the theater when I heard this lyric.

The pitcher's name is Hub Purdue. from ragtime...anything from that song can be used

Well, they sounded bad to my ears when I hear them in 1965 (at least I think I saw that show in '65). I really did groan when I heard them. They're horrible lyrics, especially when compared to Rodger's great tune.

it's not a lyric, but it's a line in BKLYN
"and with our tears, we can water roses"~ brooklyn
...now i know, it isn't eden's fault, and she doesn't choose to say that, she is just paid to say it, but i was sitting within reach of the "give only what you can" sign, and i was tempted to throw it at her!

Majorly off topic, but thebestshowshavetransvestites...I so just read your name as:
the best show shave transvestites.
I was like "WHAT?"
Anyway, the one that pops into my head right now is from COMPANY
"Let's hear it for the ladies who luch
Those dinosaurs surviving the crunch."
I don't know what it is but it drives me up the wall.

i totally agree, when i saw brooklyn, i was tempted to like it just because of the music, but after i got the cd and the more i listened to it, the more i realized how randomly absurd some of it is, though i do love once upon a time.

spider - Haha 
It's a bit worse when I read it that way for half a second, thinking I made a typo in it. Ah, the patheticness of me! *not threadjacking*
"Hairy, scary, straight or bi..." from Taboo... Only because he's supposedly talking about boys, yes? So wouldn't it be, "Gay or bi"? O_o

Hate to knock my own favorite, but...
"Over at the Frankenstein place..." from RHS, simply because it ISN'T the Frankenstein place... Not that "the Frank N Furter place" would've fit, but... Oh, it's Rocky Horror, who cares! Wee!
...Ahem.

I like the music in Chicago, but here's one bad lyric
"Throw 'em a fake and a finagle
They'll never know you're just a bagel,"
Godspell - "You gotta stay pretty in the city of God."
