[singing] And I give a flower to the big fat cop
He takes his club and he beats me up
I give a flower to the garbage man
He stuffs my girl in the garbage can
And I give it to the landlord when the rent comes 'round
He throws it in the toilet and he flush it down
It goes into the sewer
With the yuck runnin' through 'er
And it runs into the river that we drink
Hey, world, YOU STINK!
He takes his club and he beats me up
I give a flower to the garbage man
He stuffs my girl in the garbage can
And I give it to the landlord when the rent comes 'round
He throws it in the toilet and he flush it down
It goes into the sewer
With the yuck runnin' through 'er
And it runs into the river that we drink
Hey, world, YOU STINK!

How could this happen? I was so careful. I picked the wrong play, the wrong director, the wrong cast. Where did I go right?

I used to have thousands of investors wanting to put their money in a Max Bialystock production! These are my investors now! [shows pictures of little old women] Little old women who want one last thrill of life of their way to the cemetery.
