《The King of Broadway》歌词

[00:00:00] The King of Broadway - Nathan Lane/The Producers Orchestra

[00:00:05] I used to be the king the king of old Broadway

[00:00:12] The best of ev'rything was mine to have each day

[00:00:21] I always had the biggest hits

[00:00:24] The biggest bathrooms at the Ritz

[00:00:26] My showgirls had the biggest tits

[00:00:28] I never was the pits in any way

[00:00:31] We believe you thousands wouldn't

[00:00:33] We believe you ev'ry word

[00:00:36] We believe you thousands couldn't

[00:00:39] We believe each word we've heard

[00:00:47] I used to be the king

[00:00:50] The King

[00:00:51] The king of old Broadway

[00:00:54] It's good to be the king

[00:00:55] My praises they would sing

[00:00:59] A Ziegfeld so they'd say

[00:01:05] My shows were always filled with class

[00:01:08] The best champagnes would fill my glass

[00:01:10] My lap was filled with gorgeous ass

[00:01:12] You couldn't call me crass in any way

[00:01:14] We believe you thousands wouldn't

[00:01:17] We believe you ev'ry word

[00:01:20] We believe you thousands couldn't

[00:01:23] We believe each word we've heard

[00:01:25] There was a time

[00:01:27] When I was young and gay

[00:01:30] But straight

[00:01:31] There was a time

[00:01:33] When I was bold

[00:01:37] There was a time

[00:01:39] When each and ev'ry play I touched

[00:01:45] Would turn to gold

[00:01:50] There was a time

[00:01:52] He wore the finest clothes

[00:01:55] His shoes were always new

[00:02:00] Ahh

[00:02:03] Now I wear a rented tux

[00:02:08] That's two weeks overdue

[00:02:14] Poor Bialy what a shmoozer

[00:02:16] Poor Bialy what a shame

[00:02:19] Poor Bialy what a loser

[00:02:22] Poor Bialy goodbye fame

[00:02:25] Such reviews How dare they insult me in this manner

[00:02:29] How quickly they forget I am Max Bialystock

[00:02:33] The first producer ever to do summer stock in the winter

[00:02:36] Once he was the king

[00:02:38] You've heard of Theatre in the Round

[00:02:41] You're looking at the man who invented Theatre in the Square

[00:02:44] Nobody had a good seat

[00:02:46] King of old Broadway

[00:02:48] I've spent my entire life in the theater

[00:02:51] I was a protege of the great Boris Tomaschevski

[00:02:56] Yes He taught me everything I know

[00:02:59] I'll never forget he turned to me on his deathbed and said

[00:03:06] "Maxella alle menschen muss zu machen jeden tug a gentzen kachen "

[00:03:12] What does that mean

[00:03:14] Who knows I don't speak Yiddish Strangely enough neither did he

[00:03:19] But in my heart I knew what he was saying

[00:03:22] He was saying when you're down and out and everybody thinks you're finished

[00:03:26] That's the time to stand up on your two feet and shout

[00:03:30] "Who do you have to f**k to get a break in this town "

[00:03:33] Yay

[00:04:06] I used to be the king

[00:04:08] The king of old Broadway

[00:04:11] Again I will be king

[00:04:15] And be on top to stay

[00:04:18] There'll be gala opening nights again

[00:04:24] You'll see my name in lights again

[00:04:26] I'll go from dark to brights again

[00:04:29] My spirits high as kites again

[00:04:31] I'll never suffer slights again

[00:04:32] I'll taste those sweet delights again

[00:04:34] No plethora of plights again

[00:04:35] No blossoming of blights again

[00:04:36] No frantic fits or frights again

[00:04:38] Fame is in my sights again

[00:04:40] I'll take those fancy flights again

[00:04:41] I'm gonna scare the heights again

[00:04:44] Bialystock will never drop

[00:04:48] Bialystock will never stop

[00:04:52] Bialystock will be on top again

[00:04:58] Fame is in his sights again

[00:04:59] He'll take those fancy flights again

[00:05:01] He's gonna scale the heights again

[00:05:02] I'll be on top again hey
