Off Broadway - Martin Guerre - It's Martin Guerre (previously Unreleased)
Presenting the return...of the return...of the return...of Martin Guerre.
There is a show let on the loose,
A murderous show that's like a noose
Can strangle young men in their prime.
It's overwrought and so intense
No one on stage can make much sense
Of this pretentious peasant grime.
I emote, like Nelson Eddy on crack.
Hold your nose-
Operetta is back!
Look! Look! Look!
It's Martin Guerre!
And I confess, this show's a mess,
Just like my hair.
Yes! I'm Martin Guerre!
When I'm onstage, writhing in rage,
Better beware.
Once this was a film.
"Great!" critics would say, hey!
Then they put it on stage
And changed all the plot
And made it rotten, ordinar;
Martin Guerre!
They've changed and re-rewritten so much,
The costumes went from British to Dutch.
Cut this, drop that, add these to the play,
A new translation came every day.
Cameron Mackintosh, please!
I am down on my knees!
Not another reprise!
Look! At Martin Guerre!
Look what they did:
They've gotten rid
Of what made you care.
Yes, it's Martin Guerre!
After act one,
Everyone's run,
And nobody's there.
Once so intense,
Now insufferably dense, hence,
Look, look at what it's become!
Now there are too many words
And I can't fit 'em all in
And my lips are getting numb!
And look! Look at what it became!
It's a terrible shame,
And who is to blame?
I've forgotten my name.
God, I wish this was Mame!
