Текст песни: It's a Most Unusual Play + перевод

(parody of «It's A Most Unusual Day» by Ray Noble & His Orchestra

From the movie «A Date With Judy»)

It’s a most unusual play;

Feel like throwing my tickets away

'Cause the boy gets the boy

And the girl gets the girl

And it’s way too far off Broadway

It’s a most unusual plot

Which I’ve either blocked out or forgot;

I don’t know what it means

But they all wear blue jeans

And they scratch themselves quite a lot

There’s no scenery, there’s no lighting

There’s no costumes; oh, what art!

If there only were no house lights

I would sneak up the aisle and depart

There’s a most unusual scene

Where this man dates this Xerox machine

So his girlfriend gets mad

And she murders the cad

To the tune of «Begin the Beguine»

In this most unusual, most unusual, most unusual play

Oh, the language is a bit loose;

It’s decidedly not Mother Goose

Outside on the marquee

This quotation you’ll see:

«I was shocked!» and it’s signed Lenny Bruce

It’s a play where something went wrong

'Cause it’s five hours, twelve minutes long

If you sit there, my friend

From beginning to end

Then your bladder better be strong

There are people hitting people;

There’s a couple in a cage

There’s neurotics, there’s narcotics

And the bathroom is right on the stage!

It’s a great big critical smash

And it’s raking in all kinds of cash

But the theater’s appalling

With things that are crawling;

I think I am getting a rash

From this most unusual, most unusual, most unusual play
