THING-FISH:
Once upon a time, musta been 'round October, few years back, in one o' dose TOP SECRET LAB-MOTORIES de gubbnint keep stashed away underneath Virginia, an EVIL PRINCE, occasion'ly employed as a part-time THEATRICAL CRITICIZER set to woikin' on a plot fo de systematic GENOCIDICAL REMOVE'LANCE of all unwanted highly-rhythmic individj'lls an' sissy-boys!
De cocksucker done whiffed up a secret POTIUM... an' right 'long wid it, de ATROCIOUS IDEA dat what he been boilin' up down deahhhh jes' mights be de FINAL SOLUTIUM to DE WHITE MAIN'S 'BOIDENNN', ef yo' acquire my drift...
Well, he were sure he had a GOOD THING GOIN'... but, dere was always de possobility dat somethin' might fuck up, so, he planned to have a little test, jes' to check it all out befo' he dump't it in de wattuh supply
Sho'tly denafter, wit HIGH-LEVEL GUBNINT CO-ROBBERATIUM, he arranged to have a good-will visit to SAN QUENTIM, 'long wit some country-westin mu- zishnin's, 'n sprinkle a little bit of it on some of de boys in deahhh (since dey done used a few of 'em befo' when dey was messin' wit de ZYPH'LISS)
So, heah dey come wit de POTIUM, dump'nit all in de mash potatoes!
Den dey wen' up to de warden's office fo' some HOT TODDY, watchin' a little football while dey's waitin' to see what gone happen!
Fact o' de matter were: NOTHIN' HAPPENED, so dey went off'n dribbled it in a special shipnint of GALOOT CO-LOG-NUH dat went out 'bouts NOVEMBER!
Next thing y'know, fagnits be droppin' off like flies...'long wit a large number of severely-tanned individj'lls, pre-zumnably of HAY'CHEN EXTRAKMENT!
But NOT DE BOYS IN DE REST HOME! Oh no! Mixin' de shit wit de mash potatoes done SMOOTHED IT OUT a little, so's it wouldn't KILL yo' ass, BUT, it sho' would make y'ugly! 'N ef y'was already UGLY, it'd make yo ass MEAN 'n UGLY...'n ef you was already MEAN 'n UGLY, it'd turn ya into a strange, UNKNOWN KREETCHUH, never befo' seen on BROADWAY!^LThass right! It'd turn ya' into a 'MAMMY NUN'! Head like a potato...lips like a duck...big ol' hands, puffin' up! BIG ONES! Science! ME-jev'l re-LIJ-mus costumery all over yo' BODY! Yow! Oh yeah! Mmmm-hmmm!

Rhonda: (stage whisper)
Harry, this is not Dreamgirls!
Harry: (stage whisper)
They told me it had c-c-colored folk in it, Rhonda, and that's always a sure sign of good, solid, musical entertainment! How was I supposed to know they'd be this ugly?
Rhonda:
They pissed on us, harry! they fuckin' pissed on us! look at my fox!
Harry:
I know, dear...but they pissed on me too...he did say they were incontinent!
Rhonda:
Just smell this! I think we should get out of here before they do something else to us!
Harry:
Leave? Now? At these ticket prices? Just hold your horses! And it probably wasn't real piss, only theater piss! They probably have a formula. Some special stuff. Comes out right out of the fur with woolite
Rhonda:
What's happened to broadway, Harry? Used to be you could come to one of these things and the wind would be rushing down the plain or a fairy on a string would go over the audience...but now Harry I ask you: is this entertainment?
Harry:
You're absolutely correct, dear! So far we haven't seen a single good-looking pair of legs...a single sequin-encrusted whatchamacallit ...no firm, rounded breasts! This show is a disaster, Rhonda, a complete and utter disaster!
Thing-fish:
Mmmm! say dere...hey! umm-hmm! thass right! hey you! you two ugly white folks...over heahhh!
As you know, de presence of carboniferous hard-core unemployables has gen'rally, in de historical past, guaranteed an evenin' of upliftin' frolic and cavortment...it'd be a shame fo y'all t'miss
On dis here one! got some nice chairs fo' ya, rights ovuh heahhh
[Harry and Rhonda rise, cross to Thing-Fish, and sit in the chairs he offers. They are immediately chained to them by the mammies]
Harry:
Uhhh...beg pardon? What's going on here?
Rhonda:
Oh! they're touching me! Harry! Harry! Harry! Harry, do something! They're putting chains on me! I'll be stuck to the chair! Oh! What'll I do? I'll miss intermission!

Duck lips! weak bladders draining through abnorminably large organs! Jesus, Harry! What the fuck is going on here?

But don't take their appearance too seriously, people, 'cause dey say dis de sort o' folks dat belongs on BROADWAY! The BROADWAY ZOMBIES collect around the EVIL PRINCE, who suddenly suspects the presence of an intruder. After taking a large bite from an onion he sings...
EVIL PRINCE: (singing)
Somewhere, over there, I can tell
There's a voice of
A potato-headed whatchamacallit
Who does not wish me well!
His clothes are quite stupid
And also his shoes!
He's got a big ol' duck-mouth!
(Who knows how he chews!)
He thinks he knows something
About THE GREAT PLAN!
How ULTIMATE BLANDNESS
Must RULE and COMMAND
He knows not a drop
Not a crumb
Not a whit
Of the reason for doing
This criminal shit
And then, if he did
Would it matter a bit?
Not at all!
Because IT IS WRIT:
Our BEIGE-BLANDISH GOD
Tends to CERTIFY IT:
"Only the boring and bland shall survive!
Only the lamest of lameness will thrive!"
Take it or leave it, you won't be alive
If you are overtly CREATIVE!
Fairies and faggots and queers are
'CREATIVE'
All the best music on Broadway is
'NATIVE'
Who will step forward
And end all this trouble?
For beige-blandish citizens
Clutching the rubble
Of vanishing dreams
Of wimpish amusement
Replaced by a rash
Of 'CREATIVE' confusement!
Soon, my brave Zombies
You'll make your return!
Broadway will glow!
Broadway will burn!
(Along with the remnants of
EVERYTHING NEW)
My HOLY DISEASE will do
Wonders for you!
Those lovely producers
Who paid for you 'then'
Will do it again, and again, and again!
EVIL PRINCE: (singing to the Zombies)
The spying potato
With horrible diction
Will rot in the garbage
When this show's eviction
Takes place shortly after
My alternate skill
Of THEATRICAL SABOTAGE
Triumphs YOUR will!
I've a special review
I've been saving for years
For a show just like this
With POTATOES and QUEERS
I'll say it's disgusting, atrocious, and dull
I'll say it makes boils inside of your skull
I'll say it's the worst-of-the-worst of the
Year
No wind down the plain, and it's hard on your
Ear
I'll say it's the work of an infantile mind
I'll say that it's tasteless, and that you will
Find
A better excuse to spend money or time
At a Tupper-Ware Party
So, do be a smarty!
Hold on to that dollar
A little while longer
For spending it here
Why, it couldn't be wronger!
WHAT'S HAPPENED TO BROADWAY?
WHERE'S IT GONE, ALL THE GLITTER?
THE 'HEART' AND THE 'SOUL'
THE PATTER?
THE PITTER?
And after this deadly review hits the paper
In will come ROPER, BENDER & RAPER
To legally execute all that remains
Of this tragic amusement for drug-addled brains
THING-FISH: (singing)
Flies all green an' buzznin'
In his dunjing of despair
Who are all o' dem ZOMBIES
Dat he fuckin' wit down dere?
Are dey crazy?
Are dey sainted?
Are dey STAGE-KRAFF someone painted?
It have never been explained
Since at first it were created
But, a MUSICAL, like we's in
Require a WHOLE BUNCH O' EVERYTHIN'!
We talkin' EVERYTHIN' DAT EVER BEEN!
Look at her!
Look at him!

RHONDA, that EVIL PRINCE...he certainly does have a way about him!
RHONDA:
At least HE didn't piss on my fox...and HE has REAL BROADWAY STARS for personal acquaintances!
HARRY:
They're all dead, dear...Zombies, I believe... the 'walking dead'...Jack Palance did a show on them once
The EVIL PRINCE reaches into the bowels of the ravaged experimental pig and gorges himself on the raw entrails, tossing scraps to the BROADWAY ZOMBIES
RHONDA:
Oh my God! Look what he's doing with that stuff from inside the pig! Yuck! That's disgusting! Are you sure this guy is a PRINCE?
HARRY:
He's an EVIL PRINCE, dear...and part-time theater critic! They don't make a heck-of-a-lot of money, y'know! We should probably feel sorry for him. You have to admit, those ARE some of the least expensive cuts of pork
THING-FISH:
Don't you white folks know nothin'? Dat cock-sucker not only mean 'n dangerous, he ignint in regards to de prep'ratium o' food-stuffs! Even in SAN QUENTIM I never seen nobody eat a RAW CHITLIN'!

Straighten up in that chair and pay attentium! People, this is for your own good! Do you know what you are?
Do you know what you are? (that's what I asked ya)
You are what you is
You is what you am (ain't dat de truth?)
(A cow don't make ham . . . ) I mean that now
You ain't what you're not (not even hardly)
So see what you got (and you got a lotta lookin' to do, junior)
You are what you is (that's entirely too correct)
An' that's all it 'tis (uh-huh)
A foolish young man (bring that W over here and show it to us)
Stashed away at San Quentin
Picked up these potatoes (told you 'bout them 'tatoes)
Evil Prince was inventin'
Now he talk like the Thing-Fish
("Saffiiiee!")
An' he look like a mammy
("See the mammy now, see the mammy now!")
His favorite co-log-nah
(Smell like chitlins!)
Well, they taste just like candy (one out of twelve see the mammy)
He finally laid it
Laid de whole thing down
Said the Nivea Lotion (rub it on good now)
And de Royal Crown (take good care of that ash)
Do you know what you are? (you's a wimp, she's a shrew)
You are what you is (got that?)
You is what you am (one out of twelve see the mammy)
(A cow don't make ham . . . ) And it never will
You ain't what you're not (unless science do somethin' 'bout it)
So see what you got (I know they workin' on it)
You are what you is (underneath Virginia)
An' that's all it 'tis (book 'em Danno, mammy one!)
A foolish young man
Of the Negro Persuasion
Devoted his life
To become a caucasian
Well he stopped eating pork
He stopped eating greens
Well he traded his dashiki
("Uhuru!")
For some Jordache Jeans
Well he learned to play golf
An' he got a good score
Now he says to himself
"I AIN'T NO ('nignant) NO MORE . . . HEY! HEY! HEY!"
One of them twelve see them nignant with knife, procede with cautium, knife may be open
