Mel Brooks, Zero Mostel, Gene Wilder - The Producers - Whom Has He Really Hurt? Defense lyrics

I would like to say something, your
Honor not on my behalf, but in
Reference to my partner
Mr bialystockyour Honor
Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury
Max Bialystock is the most selfish man
I ever met in my life
(Max: "Don't help me") Not only is he a liar
And a cheat and a scoundrel and a crook
Who has taken money from little old ladies
But he's also talked people into doing
Things, especially me, that
They would never in a thousand
Years have dreamed of
Doing but, your Honor, as I understand it
The law was created to protect people
From being wronged your
Honor, whom has Max Bialystock
Wronged? I mean
Whom has he really hurt? Not me
Not me i was this man

No one ever called me Leo before i mean
I know it's not a big legal point
But even in kindergarten
They used to call me
Bloom i never sang a song before
I mean with someone else i
Never sang a song with someone else
Before this man, this man
This is a wonderful man he made me
What I am today he did
(He gestured to the audience of old
Ladies) And what of the dear
Ladies? What would their lives have
Been without Max Bialystock? Max
Bialystock who made them feel young
And attractive and wanted
Again? That's all that I have to say
(The ladies stood and applauded)

Max stood and tacked on his own final words:

And may I humbly add, your Honor
That we've learned our lesson and that
We'll never do it again
