Just like Cain and Abel You pulled a sneak attack I thought that we were brothers Then you stabbed me in the back Betrayed! Oh boy, I'm so betrayed! Like Samson and Delilah Your love began to fade I'm crying in the hoosegow You're in Rio getting laid! Betrayed! Let's face it, I'm betrayed! Boy, have I been taken Oy, I'm so forsaken I should have seen what came to pass I should have known to watch my ass! I feel like Othello Everything is lost Leo is Iago Max is double-crossed! I'm so dismayed Did I mention I'm betrayed? Now I'm about to go to jail There's no one who will pay my bail I have no one who I can cry to No one I can say goodbye to I'm drowning! I'm drowning here! I'm going down for the last time. I see my whole life flashing before my eyes. I see a weathered old farmhouse with a white picket fence. I'm running through fields of alfalfa with my collie, Rex. No, Rex, not on the alfalfa. Eheh. I see my mother standing on the back porch, in a worn but clean gingham gown, and I hear her calling out to me, "Alvin! Don't forget your chores. The wood needs a-cordin' and the cows need a-milkin'. Alvin, Alvin..." Wait a minute! My name's not Alvin! That's not my life. Somebody else's life if flashing before my eyes! I'm not a hillbilly. I grew up in the Bronx. Leo's taken everything. Even my past! My past's a dying ember But wait... now I remember How did it begin? He walked into my office With his cockamamie scheme You can make more money With a flop than with a hit We can do it, we can do it I can't do it We can do it! I can't do it! Goodbye Max! Lord, I want that money! I'm back, Max! Come on, Leo, we can do it! Step one, find the play! See it, smell it, touch it, kiss it! Hello, Mister Liebkind Guten Tag, hop-hop Guten Tag, clop-clop ...Adolf Elizabeth Hitler? Guten Tag, hop -hop Guten Tag, clop-clop! Step two, hire the director Keep it gay, keep it gay, keep it... Two-three, kick, turn, turn, turn, kick, turn Ulla! Oooh wah wee wah wow-wow-wowee! Step three, raise the money Along came Bialy! Step four, hire all the actors A wandering minstrel I, A think of shreds and... Next! The little wooden boy Next! That's our Hitler! Opening night! Good luck, good luck, good luck Break a leg! I broke my leg! Springtime for Hitler and Germany! A surprise smash! Springtime for Hitler and Germany! It'll run for years! Where did we go right? Where did we go right? Gimme those books Fat, fat, fatty! Gimme those books Fat, fat, fatty! Books, fat, books, fat, books, fat, books, fat! Lousy fruit, kill the actors, you ever eat with one?! Then you ran to Rio And you're safely out of reach I'm behind these bars You're banging Ulla on the beach! Just like Julius Caesar Was betrayed by Brutus Who'd think an accountant Would turn out to be my Judas! I'm so dismayed Is this how I'm repaid? To be... Betrayed! BETRAYED!!
