The song Lion Tamer from The Magic Show. I always skip that part.

You may dine on any single thing you wish,
Though I'd wait for dinner, we're serving fish.
You know, it is bad, but I always got the feleing it was meant to be bad.
Then again...

DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS: "If you were me, and I were you, I'd look at me, and like the view." C'mon. That's so overused. Totally not funny.
WEDDING SINGER: "People called him the Wedding Singer. He sang at weddings and so the name was apt." This one just cracks me up, but it's so, so bad. God bless this show. I love it.
THE MUSIC MAN: "Gary Indiana Gary Indiana Gary Indiana..." Bah. Catchy song. I just don't like it.
Far from the worst lyrics ever. They're more like oddball/annoying lyrics. :P

All the way back to the protazoa"
Oh, what Stephen Schwartz will do for a rhyme, though I can't help but love it.

"The wickedest witch their ever WAS,
The enemy of all of us here in OZ"
"And nobody in all of OZ,
No Wizard that there is or WAS"
OZ and WAS don't rhyme! WAZ would have to be the word or UHS! Jesus, Stephen Schwartz should stick to Disney and stay far, far away from the stage.
OH and also"
"There a bridges you crossed you didn't know you crossed
Until you crossed"
Just terrible.

Aspects of Love:
Rose:
Working till I drop
For an audience of four
Three nuns and your mother
Marcel:
It's no use complaining
Rose:
And she only bothered
Because it was raining.

The one that has always driven me crazy...from "You're the Top"
"a symphony by Strauss"
Johann Strauss wrote waltzes and marches.
Richard Strauss wrote tone poems and operas.
Neither of these people ever wrote a "symphony"!

"Alas a lass is what I lack, I lack a lass A lass I lack...." LOved being in mattress but seriously...
Fear no more the heat o' the sun,
Nor the furious winter's rages;
Thou thy worldly task hast done,
Home art gone and ta'en thy wages:
Golden lads and girls all must,
As chimney-sweepers, come to dust.

It may have been mentioned but "To kill outside St. Paul's required a lot of balls!" has to take the cake
"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

I'm not sure if any one has mentioned this yet but the constant referencing to Marilyn Monroe in "Blood Brothers" is ridiculous
"From an old move of years ago... From an old movie of Marilyn Monroe"
and the song in the beginning about how they went dancing
"he told me I was sexier than Marilyn Monroe
and we went dancing
We went dancing"
and that song appears at least 3 times
Just. Dumb.

Crazy_for_the_Q - there's a whole theme in the show about old movies and how they represent a life that these people could escape to, living as they did in pretty rough surroundings. The Marilyn Monroe thing - Mrs Johnstone seems to idolise her, and when someone tells her she looks like her it makes her LIFE. The reason it's in Tell Me It's Not True as well, I think, is as a bittersweet look back at what she used to dream of.
I think Blood Brothers has some pretty amazing lyrics - Willy Russel is SO specific, and is so much part of that world as well. It's very real. I think what BB lacks is decent music to carry the lyrics. I think it was a mistake for Willy to write the music as well.
Although, it's still running in London - obviously most people don't care. Which doesn't surprise me.

I love the show but...
Why I predict the Wizard could make you his magic grand vizier
MAGIC grand vizier? That is the one moment of Wicked that actually makes me cringe.

Which is even more ridiculous as J&H is set in London and in London we don't say "Ass" for backside, we say "Arse". Which makes it sound even more obnoxious when you pronounce it like that. Ugh. Leslie Bricusse makes me cry.

Call me nuts, but the only lyrics in Wicked that really made me cringe were
One day he'll say to me, Elphaba,
A girl who is so superior,
"Shouldn't a girl who's so good inside
Have a matching exterior?"
Also, "My Favorite Things". And it's sung so seriously.
Cream colored ponies
And crisp apple streudels!
Doorbells and sleighbells
And schnitzel with noodles!
I'm all for ponies and noodles, but are these honestly the greatest things in the world?
EDIT: Oh, you're so right about Lion Tamer. And the first time I heard it sung was by Kristin Chenoweth on the Schwartz comp album. Double ouch.
