Mel Brooks, Nathan Lane - Betrayed lyrics

Mail call! Here ya go, Bialystock
Ya got a postcard

A postcard? From where?

Brazil

Brazil? Who do I know in Brazil? Dear Max
Rio is everything you said it was and
More ulla and I think of you
Every chance we get in the morning
When we have breakfast
On our terrace many different herrings
And in the evening
When we samba together in
The moonlight sorry, must run
Ulla's waiting, it's almost eleven
Wish you were here, leo!
(sung) 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?
I used to be the king but now I am the fool
A captain without a ship
A rabbi without a shul!

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

(spoken)
I'm drowning! I'm drowning here! I'm going
Down for the last time
I I 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 stop it
Rex! 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 i'm not a
Hillbilly i grew up in the Bronx
Leo's taken everything even my past!

(sung) my past's a dying ember
But waitnow 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, swirl it, touch it, kiss it!
Hello, Mister Liebkind
"Guten Tag, hop clop! Guten Tag, hop clop"
Adolf Elizabeth Hitler?
"Guten Tag, hop clop! Guten Tag, hop 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 wah woo woo wah-wah
Step three, raise the money
"Along came Bialy!" intermission!
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!
