If no one has said it, 2 stretches in the Legally Blonde Remix:

You proved it to me
Now show everyone what you can do
AND YOU LOOK GREAT IN DARK BLUE!

But I see a star
You're my new muse
YOU'VE GOT THE BEST FREAKIN SHOES!
And you lit a fuse
So go show them who's
Legally Blonde!

truman i actually really like that lyric. i feel like it's a cute, teenager-y thing to say, and it fits with how the rest of bare will read, as well as with the dynamic of peter and jason's relationship.

Any song, any lyric from "The Pirate Queen". So predictable, we sat in our 1st row mezzanine seats and could deftly say the next rhyme at the end of the sentence before the actor sang it or spoke it. Just awful.

I'm sure this has been mentioned, but I didn't feel like looking through over 500 posts for it.

Jekyll and Hyde:

"Murder! Murder! In the night air! Murder! Murder! It's a nightmare."

"To kill outside St. Pauls requires a lot of balls!" (ughhh!)

"My fear is he's in over his head.
He could lose control and that I dread."


I do like the music to the show though. lol.

Don't get me wrong, I love this song, but sometimes it's funny how writers repeat themselves within the same few lines of each other. I don't think this is the worst ever by any means... just not the best.

The Wizard and I:

"If I make good
So I'll make good:
When I meet the Wizard
Once I prove my worth
And then I meet the Wizard
What I've waited for since birth"

"Would it be all right by you
If I de-greenify you?" <- very Oz-ish choice of wording, but it works

"Red" from Prince of Central Park has some of the worst lyrics I've ever heard including this doozie:

"I want an Irish Setter/The redder the better!"

This is just my own opinion: Concerning a lot of these lyrics that people are mentioning, I disagree completely. The lyrics are 'silly' or 'stupid' or 'juvenile' because the characters themselves are this way. For example, the Big lyrics characterize pre- adolescent suburban kid characters PERFECTLY. A lot of these lyrics are trying to reflect a characters lack of intelligence, or lack of eloquence, and this doesn't make them bad lyrics- it makes them fitting ones.

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but I hate "We have way of making you vote for us, or at least from making you abstain" during A New Argentina from Evita. It totally stops the flow of the song. And it's just really awkward to listen to.
