Evil prince: (mammified fake-broadway singing)

What is happenin' to me!

An' also to de ol' zom-bie

I used tum know?



Of c'ose dey

Once were so spectaculuhhh!

Now we be

Talkin' de vernaculuhhh!

Dis a strange kind o' reactium

To de pig we et befo'!



I's immune to de re-zease, i s'pose

Fum suckin' up de greeze

Fum de duo-deenum dribblin's

Outa de pig befo'!



I can laugh 'n rub my chin

When my re-zease come rollin' in,

It's jes' like catchin' a second win'!

I feel so gay-y-y-y-y-y!



Some mights refer to me as scum,

'cause where dey all be comin' from

(when de galoot co-log-nuh rushin' down

De plain)

Is underneef some ragg'dy dirt

In de suburbean out-skirt

Of ol' manhattin',

Traffick pattin'

Near de gay white way!



I gets clammy, sayin' 'mammy'

I gets chills all up my spine!

I gets wistful,

Wit a fistful

Of ve-ne-she-um bline!



Jes' like tuggin' on de heart-strings!

Jes' like dem lil' ol' fallin' apart things,

Jes' like whatevuh dat is rotten,

We has sho'ly not fo-gotten

How t'pretend to sing!



Now, deys hope,

We ain't gwine die!

Only de suckers forced t'buy

Dem 'spensive tickets we be sellin' at de do'!

Now we got broadway zombie mammys!

We gots an' ugly, ugly o'phan annie!

An' de traditium will go on, 'n on, 'n on



I loves t'see de, see de zombie fly!

Yes sir!

It sorta makes me, makes ya wanna cry!

'cause we is broadway!

We's expensive,

An' we can't,

I said we can't...

Can't...never

Die!

Can't...never

Die-e-e-e-e-e-e-e!

Yes sir!

You're too kind!
